Psst.Have you heard? Something is in the horizon; not totally new to the world in general, but a tud new to us here in the eastern horizon of motherland Africa.

Body chains/ metal chains are used in jewelry to encircle parts of the body, namely the neck, wrists and ankles, and they also serve as points to hang decorative charms and pendants. Unlike industrial or chains for other purposes, jewelry chains or body chains are designed for aesthetic purposes.(Wikipedia)

The picture shows a gold body chain designed for a small woman or girl made during the 4/5 century from the Hoxne Hoard (the largest hoard of late Roman silver and gold discovered in Britain and the largest collection of gold and silver coins of the fourth and fifth century found anywhere within the Roman Empire.

According to the British museum collection, we have got a wide array of chains.
