"Kosichka", "bismarck", "Italian"? Weaving is the main criterion when choosing a chain

Ornaments made of gold, and especially chains at all times, were popular with men and women. After all, the chain will be an excellent addition to the image, emphasize a certain style and status. The product of gold can be worn as an independent decoration, or you can add a beautiful pendant to it. The chain can be an excellent accessory for both everyday and holiday clothes. In any case, it accentuates the individuality and makes the image of its owner interesting. It is not accidental that the choice of the chain is made by women and men with great care. From time immemorial it was believed that gold products could give their owner energy and strength.

A bit of history

Gold chains in the second half of the twentieth century became an independent decoration. In the process of weaving chains, jewelers began to use different gold: white, red, yellow. Each jeweler put his own idea, meaning, into the sketch of the links.

Making a chain is a pretty laborious task, it consists of several stages: first the master melts this soft metal, then pulls it into a thin thread, which is then cut and twisted. And only after doing this work, you can start to fasten each link manually. Thus, the most unique products were created. To date, specialized machines are widely used in jewelry production. However, products made by hand, continue to be in great demand.

The main criterion

One of the important characteristics when choosing an ornament is the weaving technique. Among them there are more popular and less popular. The chain consists of a series of links connected together in various ways.

There are schemes of weaving, suitable exclusively for men or women, for young or older people, but there are universal types. Thus, chains with a larger mass are manufactured for the stronger sex, and therefore more durable and reliable. And what weave golden chains are suitable for lovely ladies? Of course, the lighter, elegant, created from the links of complex configurations.

Anchor and armor

To date, there is no uniform classification of weaving gold chains. But by the type of links in the jewelry traditionally the chains are divided into three main categories:

• Armor - the links of the chains are relative to each other in the same plane;
• Anchor - simple grip of links located in perpendicular planes;
• With links - balls.

Anchor weaving is the most common fastening of chain links. The decorations of this kind are quite simple, but they are very durable, reliable, so they will be an excellent addition to both the everyday and the solemn side. Anchor weaving, perhaps, will never go out of fashion.

Brigandine weaving is no less popular among lovers of jewelry, it is very durable, durable. First, the chain of this kind of weaving is well attached to the skin and does not cause discomfort when worn, and secondly, the decoration looks great on clothes.

Links-balls - a fairly fragile weave, it looks fine due to diamond cutting, when you wear a product of this kind, you need to be careful.

Combined and fantasy

Also, weaving schemes can be divided into:

• Combined - the chain consists of links, different forms of weaving (armor and anchor);
• Fantasy - a combination of links of complicated configurations, a combination of round, oval, square shapes.

As jewelry mastery develops, on the basis of the main types of weaving, more and more new types are created, in which different textures and new patterns of connecting the links are combined. Such decorations are surprisingly beautiful, unusual and will satisfy even the most demanding taste.

The chain is "Italian"

Separately, I would like to dwell on such a chain as the "Italian", the weaving of this decoration can be made both by machine and by hand, in any case it will be as reliable as possible. Ornaments are usually expensive, but their quality and long life are worth their money.

What is interesting "Italian"? Weaving is voluminous, quite universal, as it is suitable for people of any age and sex. However, in the face of a man, his possessor, the Italian chain will add courage and strength, and women - riddles and attractions. Chains look very impressive, so that the decoration is suitable for everyday and solemn clothes. What is interesting about this weaving? It consists of many small elements that provide a three-dimensional view to the chain. However, despite the volume, this kind of weaving gives the product airiness, originality. Fans of the extraordinary for sure choose from a variety of options is the chain, "Italian".

So different and beautiful

The rather well-known weaving "bismarck" thanks to its massiveness gives the product a solid and impressive look. Usually in demand among men.

Very interesting look chains-serpentine. They look somewhat more massive than the "Italian", the weaving of the chain is wide and flat. The links welded together are like twisting, adjacent lines.

It is worth noting the chain called "figaro". Quite an interesting species, like the "Italian", the weave, unlike the first type, is uncomplicated, consists of elongated and round links alternating with each other. It looks great both with pendants, and as an independent decoration.

Especially popular among women is the chain "trickle" (like the beloved "italian"), weaving it looks expensive and spectacular.
