Hoop earrings crafted from the ‘maille royale’ chain
These 18-carat yellow gold hoop earrings feature the ‘maille royale’ chain, more commonly seen on necklaces and bracelets. Here, the chain is rolled into a tube and then bent into an open circle 34 mm in diameter. This pre-owned pair derives its character from this textured finish, which catches the light on every link.
Architecture and jewellery craftsmanship
The chain consists of interlocking oval links, which maintain a consistent volume all the way round the hoop. Inside the circle, a smooth, polished gold band doubles the mesh and follows its curve, giving the inner surface a clean finish. The yellow gold is polished on all sides of the links.
Why these second-hand hoop earrings
A ‘maille royale’ hoop of this diameter requires a large number of links to be assembled and then shaped without flattening the relief. This pair therefore features a generous structure in 18-carat yellow gold. Purchased second-hand, they offer this volume of gold and intricate chainwork in a 34 mm size.
