John Hinchcliffe
Anjo Designs are Wirral based Angela and John Hinchcliffe who design and make their jewellery drawing inspiration from traditional and decorative chainmaille weaves, using these techniques to create jewellery that reflects the past with a modern twist.
Working with a variety of metals, which include both precious and non-precious metals, they make by hand, one – off or limited-edition statement pieces to a very high standard of workmanship for both women and men.
In 2024 the Royal Armouries Museum commissioned them to design and make a collection based on their major exhibition on the life of a Roman Gladiator. They have also received commissions from the British Museum to make a collection of jewellery inspired by artifacts in their Roman Legion exhibition.
