The Anglo-Saxons’ love of display ensured that their jewellery was often colourful, thoughtfully designed and carefully made. Glass and amber beads hung in swags on the front of ladies’ dresses are one long-lived fashion; often the centrepiece was a particularly large barrel-shaped bead, or a gold pendant with a garnet in a cabochon setting. Pendants of various shapes – often miniature weapons – were worn by important females; males sometimes wore boar-tusks set in copper-alloy sleeves, perhaps as hunting trophies. Bangles, neck-rings and bracelets are also associated with female costume.
