A mesh jewel comprising a mesh formed by at least one metallic wire section 4 arranged along a mesh surface, wherein the mesh comprises nodes located at adjoining wire section parts of said at least one wire section 4 . At least some of the nodes are formed with a node element 1 comprising a pin 2 arranged in cross direction to the mesh surface and means for preventing displacement in an axial direction of the pin 2 of the wire section parts adjoining the pin 2 of the node element 1 . The inventive method for manufacturing the mesh jewel comprises the steps of forming a mesh with at least one metallic wire section 4 by arranging it along a mesh surface, wherein the mesh comprises notes at adjoining wire section parts of said at least one wire section 4 . According to the invention, pins 2 are arranged in cross direction to the mesh surface, and said at least one wire section 4 is arranged so as to pass by the pins 2 and ends of said at least one wire section 4 are attached to the mesh jewel, wherein the pins 2 are fitted with means for preventing displacement in an axial direction of the pins 2 of the wire section parts adjoining the pins 2.
