Men's hand chain

Modern representatives of the strong half of humanity are increasingly complementing their everyday look with stylish interesting accessories. One of the most favorite jewelry is the men's hand chain. How to choose the right size, decide on the material of manufacture and what to combine with, we will tell in our article.

Probably, the main difference between a men's bracelet and a women's one is the absence of any additional decorations on it in the form of inserts of stones, pendants and elaborate weaving. Since this accessory is designed to draw attention to a rough, hard male hand, it should look accordingly: simple weaving, “chopped” lines, restrained colors;

The second important difference is thickness. On an elegant female handle, a thin bracelet will look very gentle and attractive; guys prefer thicker, puffy bracelets;

As a rule, the following materials are used in the manufacture of men's wrist chains:

Gold. Gold bracelets are traditionally popular among the stronger sex. This is due to the fact that this metal is not subject to oxidation, corrosion, it does not darken from water and over time. A gold bracelet looks very expensive and status.

Silver. More budgetary, but no less stylish material for the manufacture of men's bracelets. The silver chain on the wrist is perfect for any look and style of clothing. Since silver is subject to oxidation, a special rhodium plating is often applied to the surface of the jewelry to make the product shine, or, conversely, it is “aged” by blackening it. Bracelets with such a coating can be cleaned a little less often, which, of course, is an indisputable plus;

Platinum. Expensive, elite metal, which will be appreciated by any status man. Outwardly, it looks a bit like silver, but there are still differences. The main advantage of such decoration is its durability and high quality, the disadvantage is the high price;

Tungsten carbide bracelets. The color scheme of men's jewelry made of this material is very diverse: you can choose a bracelet in gold, silver, steel colors; there is even a shade called "rose gold". Chains for men made of this alloy are distinguished by increased strength, comparable to the hardness of a diamond!

Copper bracelets. If you like gold, but don't want to spend a lot of money on jewelry made of gold, then choose an accessory made of copper. Besides the fact that this metal looks very beautiful, it also has healing properties. Copper is known to help heal wounds on the skin and protect against viral infections. Therefore, your gift will not only be a stylish addition to the image, but will also help maintain health;

Men's hand chains made of stainless steel. Increasingly popular among men are bracelets made of stainless steel or the so-called stainless steel. What is the advantage of steel chain? Firstly, this material, as the name implies, is not subject to corrosion and will serve you for a long time; secondly, such jewelry has a very low cost, which is also important. And thirdly, modern jewelry companies offer a fairly wide range of such chains, so you can easily pick up an accessory for every taste;

Bracelets GAURANGA. Not so long ago, chains imitating gold and silver, sold by the meter, appeared on the jewelry market. They quickly earned their place in the sun, due to the fact that, unlike standard coated jewelry, such chains do not shed, do not corrode and are resistant to water, sun and salt.

How to understand that the bracelet is the right size? Pay attention to how he sits on his hand. The chain should hang freely on the wrist, but not fall off the hand.It is unacceptable for the bracelet to fit too tightly, as it will squeeze the blood vessels and interfere with the free circulation of blood, which can cause numbness in the hand.

There are the following sizes of men's chains on hand:

• S. The length of the bracelet is 15-16 centimeters;
• M. 17-18 cm;
• L. 19-20 cm;
• Xl. 21-22 cm.

Anchor. Perhaps the simplest weaving. It lies in the fact that each subsequent link is attached perpendicular to the previous one. The links of classic anchor weaving are oval-shaped;

Rollo. A kind of anchor weaving, which differs in the shape of the links - in this weaving they are round;

Venetian weaving. Its distinguishing feature is square or rectangular links, fastened sequentially one after another. It seems that such a chain is made of small cubes;

Cord weaving. Another type of anchor weaving, in which several links are attached to one and simultaneously jump over the adjacent link. The illusion of a twisted chain is created;

Armor weaving. This type is characterized by the fact that the links fastened together are in the same plane. They are polished on both sides, thus giving a unique shine.;

Nonna. Beautiful, but not quite masculine weaving. Its distinguishing feature is the connection of large links by connecting the small ones that are inside them;

Figaro (Cartier). Several small links (two, three or four) are connected to each other, and then to a long link, and so on throughout the chain;

Snake. Such weaving is also called "jewelry lace". It looks like a snake at the same time (which is why its name, “snake”, translated from English, means “snake”) and a cord. These chains are hollow, light in weight;

Popcorn. The surface of the bracelet with such weaving seems to be dotted with small balls of popcorn. It is also a hollow weave;

Rope weaving. It looks like two ropes twisted with each other, it looks very dense and massive;

Singapore weaving. Its distinguishing feature is the sequential connection of flat curved polished links, due to which the chain twists and shines in the sun;

The eye of a panther (or peacock). The links in such weaving resemble an eye;

Love (from English love - love). Beautiful openwork weaving, more feminine than masculine. It consists in connecting links made in the form of hearts with each other;

Snail. With such weaving, the shape of the link is a spiral;

Perlina (from English pearl - pearl). A bracelet made using such weaving looks like a string of pearls, only made of metal. The links are made in the form of balls;

Bismarck. The most popular weave for men for chains and bracelets. It consists in connecting complex braided links together, which creates the effect of massiveness, moreover, this is one of the most durable weaves.

Modern fashion does not limit people in choosing an image. Mixing styles, combining incongruous, etc. is now fashionable, the main rule to follow is that you should like the way you put together the image, both in its entirety and in detail. You should feel as comfortable and confident as possible in it.

Many people ask themselves: is it possible to wear a wristwatch at the same time as a bracelet? Answer: yes, you can. However, remember that they should be in harmony with each other in color and style. You should not wear a wide bracelet for watches, it is better to let it be thinner, but this is a much more stylish option.

And one more eternal question: on which hand should men wear a bracelet? There are no rules here - wear on the one that is more convenient for you personally. If you want to use your jewelry as an amulet, remember that the left hand is responsible for activating intuition, developing creativity and imagination, and the right hand is responsible for logical thinking.
