What are Byzantine Chains?
Byzantine chains are a style of chain link jewelry that originated during the Byzantine Empire, which was known for its intricate and elaborate artwork, including its jewelry designs.
The Byzantine chain is distinguishable by its complex pattern of interlocking links. The basic design involves a pair of circular links passing through another pair at a right angle, with an additional two circular links added on either side. This creates a thick, richly textured chain with a rope-like flexibility and a distinct, intricate, and ornate design. Because of its complexity, the Byzantine chain requires significant skill and time to create.
Byzantine chains are often made of gold or silver but can also be found in other metals. They can be worn alone as a statement piece because of their design complexity, but they are also sturdy enough to hold pendants or charms.
Their visually impactful design and historical origin give them an air of luxury and antiquity, making them a popular choice for those who appreciate detailed and eye-catching jewelry with a touch of history.
