The delightful challenge of designing a new chain is that their long history over millennia has seen the development of linkages already fulsomely explored; but the pleasure of contemporary practice is that the imagination is untrammeled by tradition, and a studio-jeweller may bring their signature style to bear upon resolving new connections...
Each of these pillow-links is about 10mm across, so the chain is longer than the quaintly-termed 'opera-length'.
Things that I enjoy about this design are: the off-center hole of each 'pillow-shell', allowing the links to pair or oppose one another; their hollow access allowing the jumping of rings at right-angles to one another; that hollowness endowing a reverberant musicality to the movement of the chain when handled; the signature concern with squaring the circle as a motif, together with its abstracted extension of cubing the sphere.
