Originally, the book chain necklace referred to a design involving a chain with links that were shaped like little folded books. Afterwards, other chain designs became popular. At first, they were made to hang ladies pocket watches but over time lockets and pendant became popular as well. In fact, artisans crafted Victorian Bookchain necklaces out of gold, silver, silver plate and gold filled metals. As a result, this design emerged during the Victorian era and consequently, was popular through the Edwardian period and up until the Art Deco era.
