That is a super interesting wire chain design. I have never thought about chains I could actually make and might be useful but this one is easy for me to understand and replicate.

I wonder how the block was made. Probably an investment casting. Was etching silver a thing 1k years ago? The way the fob end was formed inside would also be interesting to know.
