Combined gold chain
Combined chains can be assembled by weaving several single-colored threads. Sometimes there are instances when all the links of one chain have a different color. Such decorations look very original, bold and, most importantly, unhackneyed.
Gold jewelry has long and firmly entered our lives. Their diversity never ceases to amaze. We are all used to the fact that gold can be not only yellow. Women's chains, which can combine several shades of this amazing metal, are not yet a very common phenomenon. However, such jewelry has already gained fans, not only among the female audience, but also among men.
A combination gold chain is a great decoration option for the office. She does not draw attention to herself, does not distract from the general outfit and at the same time complements it. A three-color chain can slightly soften the overly strict business suit of a business lady, reminding others that they are first of all a woman, and then a business partner.
If you choose earrings made of a combined alloy or a bracelet for such an ornament, this will already be a ready-made set for a solemn exit. Since there will be several shades in the set, you can safely wear it with any other gold jewelry without worrying about how to combine one brilliant jewel with another.Multi-colored trifles can be worn with a pendant, and as an independent decoration.
It's no secret that gold itself is a soft material and is not particularly durable. Therefore, other substances are added to it, thanks to which gold products acquire the most unexpected shades. The higher the sample indicated on the product, the more gold itself in the gold alloy and the less all kinds of impurities. So, for example, a 750 gold piece of jewelry contains 75% of the total weight of gold.
Variety of colors
Traditionally, combined chains are made from jewelry alloys of three colors: red, yellow and white. There is a belief that this classic trinity has a certain semantic load. Yellow represents devotion, white represents friendship, and pink represents love.
We are all used to these shades and they do not surprise us. However, there are many more shades of gold. At the same time, few people know that products that have the same sample can drastically differ in color. And the color itself depends on what metal is added to the alloy.
- If the gold jewelry has a white color, it means that silver or palladium has been added to it. Outwardly, it is similar to platinum, but lower in value. It looks very nice in braided chains paired with pink or yellow gold.
- Sometimes you can find offers of green gold jewelry. It is nothing more than an alloy of gold with silver content. This alloy is called electrum and has a yellow-greenish color. Sometimes lemon shades are found in the composition of combined products with electrum. To give a rich green color, zinc, cadmium and some other metals can be added to the alloy.However, zinc is harmful to the skin, while cadmium releases toxins. Green saturated color also gives a combination of gold and rubidium. However, in itself, such a composition is fragile and brittle. Therefore, it is used in combined products, such as a chain and others.
- Orange and red shades are obtained in the presence of copper particles in the composition of the alloy. This is the most common jewelry color in Russia. On such jewelry, the 585 test is most often put. It looks very nice in chains of a combination of pink and red shades.
- Red gold has the highest 900 standard. Such metal is very flexible, easily bends and deforms. In tsarist Russia, jewelers made jewelry from pure gold. To compensate for the fragility of the metal, they were made massive and heavy. In modern industry, this type of metal is not used independently. But it looks very nice in finished products with various variations.
- The yellow color of gold is its original shade. This is how it occurs in nature. For this bright, brilliant sunny color, it has been appreciated since ancient times. It is generally accepted that it is yellow gold that symbolizes marital love and devotion. The chains, which have in their composition parts made of amber-colored precious metal, are in perfect harmony with wedding rings of the same traditional color.
- Black gold. To obtain an alloy of such an exotic color, a layer of amorphous carbon or rhodium is applied to the finished product. Another way to get a black tint: gold is mixed with chromium and cobalt, then smelted and oxidized at the same time at very high temperatures.It turns out a very brutal color, which is often used in the interweaving of men's chains with white, pale yellow and other cold shades.
The final gold composition is very complex. It often contains many different ingredients, and jewelry manufacturers try not to disclose all the secrets of their business. To avoid becoming a victim of fraud, purchase jewelry only in specialized stores.
Everything is short and clear. Thanks for the info.
