Linking chains to create bracelets or necklaces is one of the oldest jewellery techniques and appeared in various ancient cultures. The oldest example of a chain necklace was found in Babylonia in a royal tomb from around 2500 BC.
The links could be adorned with (semi-)precous gemstones, pendants, charms or glass in different colours to imitate precious gemstones.
