Chain Mail was a highly successful type of armor and was used by nearly every metalworking culture. It first appeared sometime after 300 BC and its invention is credited to the Celts. From the adoption by the Romans of Celtic mail to its decline in the 17th and 18th centuries the history of mail was one of proliferation. From its start in Europe it came to be used in North Africa, the Middle East, Central Asia, India, Tibet, Korea and finally Japan.
In recent years Chain Maille Jewellery, based on the mail used in historical armor, has become incredibly fashionable in Europe and the United States. Hanfords of London Chain Maille designs incorporate both the historical charm and contemporary beauty of these techniques.
