The Evolution of Chain Earrings
Chain earrings have a rich history, dating back to ancient warriors who wore them as symbols of strength. In the 1970s and '80s, they became synonymous with punk and rock 'n' roll, while today, they’re reimagined in luxe, feminine designs.
Why chains remain a staple:
They add movement and texture, whether delicate chains or chunky links.
They bridge edgy and elegant, perfect for industrial fashion or minimalist looks.
They’re endlessly adaptable, from long chain earrings to layered chains that create visual interest.
At Victoria Bekerman, our designs—like the Celeste Chain Earrings—blend timeless craftsmanship with contemporary edge.
