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 flat curb chain has origins in ancient civilizations, but the modern jewelry version was created in Italy in the early 1900s to be a smooth, flat, and elegant design. While ancient Romans wore curb chains as a symbol of status, the term "curb" actually comes from the flat strap or chain used in horse bridles. The style became particularly popular again in the 1980s with the rise of hip-hop culture.
