Mirror Forçat chain in 316L stainless steel
Inspired by the chains used to bind convicts together, maille forçat chain is a jewelry classic.
It can be distinguished by its round, interlocking rings.
The corners of the links can be rounded or square.
This chain is called mirror chain because the links are flattened and filed to give a shiny effect.
It can be worn simply or stacked.
It allows you to create jewelry entirely in stainless steel.
