Not everyone knows that initially wearing jewelry was an exclusively male privilege. Even thousands of years ago, men hung themselves with massive chains with amulets, trying to demonstrate their status, strength and position in society with their help.

Today, a men's chain made of platinum, like thousands of years ago, is a demonstration of its viability and success. Buying a platinum chain can only be afforded by a not poor man - this is a very expensive metal. Its high cost is justified by its rarity (platinum production is several times lower than gold). In addition, this material is very strong, so it is difficult to process it. All this makes it attractive to a man who wants to emphasize his originality and individuality.

Platinum is often unfairly underestimated. An untrained eye may not distinguish it from silver. Therefore, many people have a question: if the majority does not see the difference between these two metals and no one appreciates such an ornament, then why overpay?

How to spot real metal

There are several proven and simple methods by which you can understand whether the real platinum is in front of you or some other metal.

  1. Platinum is a very durable metal, hence it is heavier than silver and gold. Two chains of the same length will have different weights. This can be checked on a pharmaceutical scale.
  2. Upon contact with hydrogen sulfide and nitric acid, silver will react and change its color, while platinum will remain unchanged.
  3. Different metals have different thermal conductivity. Hold two pieces of silver and platinum in your hands. What takes longer to heat up is platinum.

Advantages

  1. The platinum chain is very tear-resistant - the strength of platinum has already been mentioned.
  2. A chain made of this noble metal is universal and fits both a business suit and a more democratic style. Similar decorations can be observed among representatives of show business and the serious business elite.
  3. Due to the very decent cost, very successful people can afford such a product, so the decoration will speak for itself.
  4. Platinum is a pure metal, free of impurities, and therefore does not cause allergies. Therefore, the chain of this metal does not cause irritation and is completely safe for health.

Varieties of chains

The platinum chain looks great as an independent piece of jewelry. But it can also be worn with a pendant made of the same material. Or you can pick up jewelry made of silver or white gold - platinum goes well with them. Depending on whether it will be a separate piece of jewelry or as an addition to a pendant, different requirements are imposed on the chains.

  1. Chain for hanging. If it is supposed that the chain will be worn with a pendant, it must be massive and exceed the weight of the pendant itself at least several times. Men usually wear pendants with meaning, often as an amulet. For these purposes, it is better to choose products with anchor weaving.Cord varieties look good, as well as figaro and all variants of rope clutches and weaves such as a tourniquet.
  2. Chain as an independent decoration. Without additional accessories, you can wear absolutely any chain. However, various types of weaves attract additional attention to the decoration, making it a source of pride for its owner. If you do not plan to decorate a platinum chain with any additional accessories, rightly believing that it is beautiful in itself, pay attention to the weaves such as "Cobra", "Bismarck", "Byzantine". In addition, from several ordinary chains you can easily create trendy modern jewelry by combining chains of different sizes and colors. Layering and a lot of texture is now at the peak of popularity.

Length

There is no single answer to the question of how long a chain should adorn a man. It depends on many factors: on the style of clothing, on the constitution of the body, on lifestyle, and much more. However, there are several basic canons that should be followed when choosing a men's jewelry made of platinum.

  1. Length 40 cm. Jewelry of this length can be safely chosen by slender, lean men, as well as young people.
  2. Length 45 cm. This chain is suitable for people of average build. It can be worn by both a young guy and a middle-aged man.
  3. Length 50 cm. This length is considered universal and suitable for all sizes and builds. However, for people who are too thin, such a chain may not be suitable, especially if it is a very massive weave, with large links.
  4. Length 55 cm or more. Such decoration is more appropriate for obese men, weightlifters, boxers or just owners of a wide muscular neck.

Representatives of the strong half of humanity especially appreciate chains and other jewelry made of this metal because of its style and cold shine, devoid of excessive sentimentality. By the way, neither gold nor silver has a similar effect.

Men's platinum chains are traditionally made in large sizes, with large links. Their design is classic, clear and simple. For chains and other jewelry made of platinum, the expression “low-key luxury” fits perfectly. An unwritten rule for men: with clothes in a strict business style, it is not customary to openly demonstrate body jewelry, whether it is just a chain or a chain with a pendant, even in the form of a cross. Wearing a chain over clothes is allowed in a more democratic style.
