One could argue that the gold chain necklace is the most versatile accessory of all time. The style, which was championed by both ancient Egyptian rulers and early 2000s R&B recording artists, has transcended time and culture, cementing itself as a fan-favorite jewelry piece. Everyone from off-duty models, on-the-go, modern-day moms, and even some of the world’s most impressive athletes have been seen sporting a gold chain necklace. Few jewelry accents can claim to have as robust and versatile a presence.
