The twisted serpentine chain's origins are tied to ancient civilizations like Egyptians, Greeks, and Romans, who created similar snake-like chains. The specific "twisted" design is a more modern elaboration of these traditional snake chains, featuring elongated, rounded links that are twisted to create a fluid, wavy effect. The Victorian era saw a resurgence and popularity of snake chains, often made of gold.

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.
