Alright, picture a knight in medieval armor; no not the solid breastplate type, but the chain mesh type. Not exactly what you’d make jewelry out of, but that’s exactly what Jessica has done: and curiously enough, it looks amazing! I guess when you put two and two together, it makes perfect sense; chainmaille, as it is known, is made out of hundreds of interlinking circular rings–sounds a lot like jewelry, doesn’t’ it?

Jessica apparently had the same idea and with her shop, Red Panda, has taken chainmail to entirely new levels. She’s not just selling metal chains; her jewelry is considerably lighter and also integrates different elements and colors to make each piece really shine.

Perhaps my favorite pieces can be found in her Unjewelry section; it’s not that it’s not jewelry, more so that it’s unusual. Jessica makes full use of the looping nature of chainmaille and brilliantly blends in different colors and textures; the overall effect is both sexy and edgy.
