Historical Context

Linked chain earrings appear in Hellenistic Greek goldwork from the third century BCE. Pairs of hoops connected by fine chains to drop pendants, worn by Macedonian and Ptolemaic women. The form re emerged in the Renaissance as part of court dress, and again in Victorian and Edwardian England as the "trust chain" or "liege earring". A piece exchanged between close relations to mark loyalty. The design has been continuous in fine jewellery for over two thousand years.

Symbolic Meaning

The linked chain. Trust. Loyalty. The vow held visibly. Connection.

Trust chains have signified loyalty in jewellery since the medieval bond between knight and lord, in which a small length of fine chain (sometimes called a "liege chain") was given as the visible mark of fealty.

The form survives today as a symbol of any chosen, declared connection.

Wearers Intention

For the loyalty keepers. The linked chain earring, a hoop or stud connected by a fine chain to a second piece, reads visually as a vow held. Worn by those whose loyalties are explicit and worn outwardly.

For the partnered. A piece often given between people who are choosing each other. Partners, sisters, the friend who became kin.

Care Guide

Keep them clean: Regularly wipe down your gold-plated earrings with a soft, dry cloth to remove any dirt, oil, or sweat that can build up and cause discolouration.

Avoid water: Do not wear your earrings when swimming or showering, as exposure to water can cause the jewellery to tarnish more quickly.

Avoid harsh chemicals: Avoid exposing your earrings to harsh chemicals such as perfumes, hairsprays, and lotions, as these can damage the plating and cause it to wear off.

Store them properly: When not in use, store your gold-plated earrings in a dry, cool place, away from direct sunlight and other sources of heat.

Handle with care: Be gentle when handling earrings to avoid scratching or breaking the products.
