Loop-in-loop chain

This is the oldest style of chain made by humans (that we know of!) The earliest example dates back to Mesopotamia around 2,500 BC. 

It's known as a loop-in-loop chain, and it was very popular in Ancient Rome, Greece, and Egypt. It was actually pretty popular in Europe through the Middle Ages, when it was replaced by simpler and more machine-made styles. 

It consists of figure-eight shaped links that are folded and looped through each other. The arches make each link very strong, much more so than a basic cable chain. 

This chain is made of fine (pure) silver, with a sterling silver clasp. The clasp is an elegant hook that you rock in and out of the final ring. 

Chain length: 18 inches

Link diameter: 4mm

 Materials

This chain is made of fine silver. Fine silver is of 99.9% pure silver (the highest purity possible). There is no outer plating- the metal can be polished over and over for a lifetime.
