Chain of gold with weaving "nonna"
A chain made of gold with increased strength and protection against mechanical damage is made according to the principle of armored technology. Such weaving is called "nonna" and, in terms of strength, has similar characteristics to men's gold chains of the "rhombus" type. Unlike them, the nonna chain looks more sophisticated and elegant.
Curb weaving technology
Armored technology got its name because of the similarity with chain mail. Any jewelry made using this method has two fundamental differences from models made using other technologies:
- Links with double-sided grinding
- All elements are fixed in the same plane
- Applied diamond face
Peculiarities
The use of shell technology makes it possible to create massive and voluminous products. The method is often used in the manufacture of jewelry for men. The “nonna” variation is more elegant in comparison with other variants of armor weaving, which allows it to be used in the production of jewelry for women. In the manufacture of men's jewelry, chains and bracelets using this technology, the thickness and shape of the links vary, which makes them more angular and heavy.
An inexperienced eye can confuse “nonna” with “figaro” weaving due to the set of links of various shapes.On closer inspection, you can see the fundamental differences. In the first case, the links are located in each other, creating a double connection, and in the second case, the connection will be single.
Hand and machine weaving
Jewelry manufacturing technologies have advanced significantly and the creation of new models has become much easier. On sale you can find a gold chain with nonna weaving made by hand and machine. Less and less common are products produced by the first option, but if it is necessary to obtain links with a thickness of more than 0.2 mm. only suitable for hand weaving. The machine method produces a thin and elegant weaving, ideal for women.
Regardless of the method, the decoration will be distinguished by increased strength and wear resistance, which is very important for everyday use. In terms of cost, the machine version of manufacturing is an order of magnitude cheaper than manual, which makes it more common and in demand.
Who is suitable for
Almost any jewelry with nonna weaving can be categorized as unisex, but men rarely pay attention to such options. For the strong half of humanity, chains woven using the “rhombus” triple weaving technology are more suitable, due to their large massiveness and angularity. A young man can opt for a similar version of "nonna", but in the case of its manufacture by hand. For girls, there are no restrictions on the choice, and nonna weaving will ideally complement any look, giving individuality, regardless of the manufacturing method.
Gold or silver?
Nonna chains are made of gold or silver, the choice depends on personal preferences.Due to the external features of a person, gold or silver may not be suitable for everyone and special attention must be paid to this.
Gold is ideal for tanned and swarthy people with light eyes and hair., favorably emphasizes the dignity, but without focusing on one detail.
As opposed to gold silver favorably decorates any person with fair and pale skin, with black hair or a little gray hair. The colors of cold shades look very impressive with silver, as a result of which silver is best suited to owners of ash-blond hair and steel blond.
Interesting fact
Many mistakenly think that the name "nonna" is the name of a woman, but in reality it is an abbreviation of the common Italian combination of the words "grandmother's weaving."
How to choose
A gold chain product can be of different lengths, there are no restrictions. The optimal length is 45 - 50 cm, which allows the chain to look perfect on the neck of any woman.
