Necklaces are not only one of the most versatile types of jewellery, but also one of the oldest. Since ancient times, necklaces and chain necklaces have always remained popular. In ancient Rome, women wore necklaces around their necks and hips. King Henry VIII of England gifted necklaces to his favourite ladies of the court (but kept the best ones for himself), and even the 16th-century founder of the London Stock Exchange kept much of his personal wealth in gold chains.

In the 19th century, chain styles diversified due to technological advances. Today, chains are available in any metal and style. The Byzantine link has been around since 300 BC and is also known as the birdcage link.
