They’ve made their place in modern jewelry as an unyielding key piece in a girls’ jewelry box, and for good reason. Chain-link pieces, whether chunky or fine, have always been a staple in pop culture, both in fashion and in music. During the 80’s hip-hop popularised the gold chain, even adding diamonds to bedazzle. The 90’s saw a discreet integration of the chain necklace into everyday fashion, but fashion leaders like Versace and Dolce & Gabbana still used it as a key accessory in their runways.

It’s a timeless keepsake that can be worn in more ways than one. They’re endlessly wearable and are the perfect finishing touch to any look.
