Metalworking

Again, completely my bad, but the only kind of familiarity I have with Anglo-Saxon is that 2012 song called Anglo-Saxon Beat.

So Metalworking technologies advanced, bringing in new casting techniques, encouraging the use of lively colors and designs, as well as precious gemstones have now made their way into the ornament.

Almadine, are you familiar? It's a garnet variety, and it seemed to be the gemstone of choice for a lot of the Middle Ages designs.

Fun and popular shapes were that of a star, a pentagon, a wheel, or a ring.
