Linking chains to craft jewellery is one of the earliest known jewellery-making techniques, appearing across various ancient cultures. The oldest known example of a chain necklace was discovered in a royal tomb in Babylonia, dating back to around 2500 BC. These chain links were often adorned with semi-precious gemstones, pendants, charms, or colourful glass, designed to mimic the appearance of precious gemstones, adding both beauty and meaning to the pieces.
