The love of chain fans lies in the blood of humanity
Wearing jewelry supporters is closely linked to human history. Archaeological finds from Morocco show that mussels were pierced 75,000 years ago and worn as a follower. During the Paleolithic period 50,000 years ago, jewelry was already widespread on all continents. For a long time, the materials for prehistoric chain pendants were limited to hunting trophies such as feathers, shells and bones, and the first stone beads have already been made.
A real breakthrough then happened about 4,000 years before Christ, when metal processing was invented in Egypt. The preferred material at this time was gold. Thus jewelry pendants were created over the millennia, which were estimated as talismans and amulets because of their magical and mythical meaning.
We modern people wear chain pendants and antique medallions as fashionable accessories. But even today we are fascinated by the magic that radiate some of these pieces.
