Chains

Transcript: After the 19th century the chains advanced. They first made chains that were detachable. They were made of several links. In the late 1800s they created bushings, which allowed chains to have a greater resistance and protects the pin. Before the invention of medals. People used vines or animal sinew that are tied together and shells, bones, or teeth that were added for decoration. Before weaving and the invention of string, durable vines or pieces of animal sinew left over from hunts were tied together and added with shells, bones or teeth or colorful skins of human prey animals, bird feathers, corals, carved pieces of wood, colorful seeds or stones or naturally occurring gems, or other beautiful or artful natural elements found nearby. Metalmaking greatly expanded the jewelry available to humans. After the Bronze Age began and humans discovered how to melt metal and cast it into shapes, bronze, copper, silver, gold, electrum, platinum and a variety of other metals were used to make eye-catching necklaces for both men and women, and metal chains became possible. Gold chains were the first to be used my ancient Romans and Greeks. It was very popular and valued because it was very delicate and difficult to make. The Roman chains involves cutting hundreds of links by hand, soldering them, then weaving them together to form a chain. Today we have new materials like stainless steel and titanium; electroplating that has enabled mass ownership of gold Works Cited http://chain-guide.com/breaks/brief-history-of-chain.html http://sheldonbrown.com/chains.html http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Necklace In the early 16th century chains were used to draw a bucket of water up from a well.
