History: Gold was generally used for a couple thousand years solely to create things such as jewelry and idols for worship. This was until around 1500 BC when the ancient empire of Egypt, which benefited greatly from its gold-bearing region, Nubia, made gold the first official medium of exchange for international trade.

The history of the box chain dates back to ancient Egypt, where it was used as a decorative piece of jewelry, and its popularity grew in the Roman Empire. The chain is often associated with Venice, Italy, where Venetian artisans created the "Venetian chain" in the 6th century by joining small, welded rings into a chain of interlocking boxes. Today, box chains continue to be a popular choice due to their strength, sleek appearance, and versatility in various styles for both men and women.
