Link to a historical model...
From about 700 to 1000 AD, oval brooches were an important part of women's costume in Scandinavia in Viking culture. Often one or more chains were worn between these oval brooches, which were sometimes attached to wide distribution plates or narrow, bar-shaped chain distributors. Sometimes s-shaped or omega-shaped chain hooks were used for fastening.
