Silver men's chains

Silver jewelry can be given to males, regardless of how old they are. Unlike gold jewelry, silver jewelry is known to be more versatile. Jewelery made from this noble metal can be easily paired with everyday wear, leisure wear and even business suits. In addition, it is generally accepted that silver takes away all the illnesses of its owner, relieving him of ailments. This metal is known as "lunar" because it is more suitable for balanced and self-confident natures.

Men like silver for its coldness and severity, but at the same time, silver products have a soft, discreet sheen. A chain made of this noble metal is affordable for many, but when purchasing it, several factors must be taken into account. This is its length, type of weaving, sample and price. Considering all these factors, you will get a real favorite jewelry, and not just an unnecessary trinket.

If you choose a piece of jewelry as a gift, make sure that it is of high quality and that it is not a fake. Pay attention to the sample, as a rule, the 925 sample is the most common, but there are also products of 585, 875, 830, 300 samples. Keep in mind that the lower the sample, the faster the chain will oxidize, tarnish and darken. It would be useful to check for the presence of a factory stamp, which can be an indented personal name, a kind of seal of a factory or a master.

Men's silver chains can be worn as an independent decoration, or as a set with a pendant. If the product is powerful and with beautiful large weaving, then it will look great on the male chest on its own. More concise and thin chains around the neck are ideal for tandems with pendants. At the same time, it must be remembered that the pendant must also be made of silver and match the chain in style and color. In no case should you combine the wearing of silver products of different samples or different coatings.

It is always necessary to carefully visually inspect the chain. Its links must be firmly connected to each other. No defects, bent links, cracks or scratches are allowed. Hidden or obvious defects will sooner or later affect the durability of the chain and the convenience of wearing it. Products with poorly polished links can create uncomfortable sensations, and in the worst cases, injure the skin. In addition, a broken link or a broken lock will be an unpleasant surprise for a man.

Orthodox silver chains for men can be chosen both for baptism and for wearing in everyday life. As a rule, they are more concise in design than those chosen as decorations, emphasizing the modesty and purity of their owner. A cross or an icon must be selected for the Orthodox chain. The quality of such chains must be at the highest level. Their strength should ensure the safety of the shrines that are put on them.

Do not forget that men wear chains not only around their necks. They can be observed on the hand, on the belt and on the pocket watch. Stylish men are ready to experiment and actively use silver chains to create their image.

Jewelry silver cannot boast an abundance of as many color variations as gold has. As a rule, without spraying, it comes in only one color of silver-white. Most often, such types of silver are distinguished as: sterling, blackened, matte. Separately, you can select silver with gilding.

Sterling silver contains almost pure silver (92.5%). It is characterized by dazzling whiteness and excellent indicators of the strength of finished products. Since pure silver is a very soft metal, various additives are used. Sterling silver uses copper. Real sterling silver does not blacken for a long time and retains its original appearance.

Blackened silver is obtained by initially engraving pure silver, and then coating it with niello (an alloy of oxides of silver, copper and lead). After coating, the product is heated until the niello melts. As a result, the niello passes into a molten state, filling the engraving lines, and forms a beautiful pattern. Real blackened silver, made using the correct blackening technology, will always be expensive. The price of the most complex specimens can be equated to gold.

Matte silver looks very unusual and it is possible to make truly exclusive jewelry from it. To obtain a haze, the products are treated with a special emulsion and a microscopic roughness on the surface is obtained. If it is necessary to leave a part of the surface shiny, then it is varnished. There are other matting techniques such as: sandblasting and stamping.

Gilded chains are products made of 925 sterling silver, which is covered with gold. The percentage of gold must be at least 42%.Gilding is carried out mechanically or electrolytically. Mechanical involves the use of a mixture of gold and mercury, after firing, mercury evaporates, leaving pure gold. During electrolysis, silver serves as a cathode, and gold is an anode and, under the influence of current, is deposited on a silver surface.

The length of the chain directly depends on the physique of the man to whom it is intended. Many manufacturers have unified their length and made this value always a multiple of 5. The most common are chains with a length of 40, 45, 50 and 55 cm, as well as 60, 65 and 70 cm. Some designers prefer to stand out by releasing products of non-standard lengths, for example, 56 or 61 cm.

Length 40 cm is suitable for teenagers and thin men (with clothing size 44-46). Also, this length is chosen by men who prefer to wear jewelry on a chain under the throat. This type of chains is called chokers.

A length of 45 cm is preferred by representatives of the stronger sex of medium build with clothing sizes 48-52. Such a chain sags slightly just below the neck line.

The length of 50 cm is universal, it is chosen by most men. With this length, the chain will hang freely, but will not look too big.

Chains with a length of 55-60 cm are chosen by dense men and bodybuilders, owners of a powerful neck. A smaller size on a large body will look ridiculous. If this length is not enough, you can look for products 65-70 cm.

If you purchase a chain without a man, then you must first measure its length in order not to make a mistake with the size. To do this, take a string, wrap it around your neck and choose the desired length. After that, the resulting value is measured with a ruler and rounded so that the size is a multiple of 5.

Today, men are offered a choice of chains of various thicknesses. As in the case of length: the thicker the chain, the more massive the male body should be. Slender and thin males should not choose heavy options. Such models may seem too catchy. Men with a full complexion, on the contrary, will suit large and large models more, since visually they will not be lost.

The thickness of the chains usually varies from 2 to 20mm. From 2 to 3 mm - these are thin models. 4-5 mm is considered an average thickness, it is already possible to hang a pendant or pendant on it. Chains with a thickness of 6-20 mm are massive products, they are worn mostly without pendants as independent jewelry.

The weight of the chain depends on the length, thickness and type of weaving. Men's silver models weighing from 50 grams to 200 grams are popular.

Everyone knows that the chain consists of links that different masters intertwine in their own way. The links are round, oval, triangular, rectangular, spherical. Weaving and thickness of links is the first thing that catches your eye when choosing a chain. The style of the product and its visual perception depend on them. There are several popular weaving options.

Anchor weaving is considered one of the oldest, but at the same time, stylish. In this weaving, the links are located at right angles to each other, that is, perpendicular. Modern designers have complicated the original simplicity of this type of weaving by changing the shape and thickness of the links. Instead of round elements, flat ones are often used, elongated and tied with a jumper in the middle, similar to a real sea chain.

Armored weaving involves the arrangement of oval and slightly curved links in the same plane.This is one of the automated types. There is a double and hammered connection of elements that is performed on special machines. Very often the links are diamond cut. The chain with curb weaving has a respectable appearance.

Figaro is one of the varieties of armored weaving. Here the links are connected in some special sequence and may differ in size.

Bismarck is one of the most common types of weaving and is usually only reserved for men's chains. He is also known under the names "Kaiser" or "Cardinal". The product is a thick links in the form of spirals, intertwined by hands in several rows. The result is a beautiful pattern, characterized by complexity and intricacy. Silver chains with this weaving are wide enough, ideal for men of dense build.

Rombo. Chains of this weaving method are made of diamond-shaped links lying in the same plane. Known double and triple connection of rhombuses. Chains with a diamond-shaped weave are quite versatile and suit men with different physiques.

Byzantine weaving can be called "Royal" in another way. It's a variation of the Bismarck. It involves a fantasy connection of metal links. Such chains are made by hand, outwardly they look very complicated in execution.

Korda. Otherwise, this type of weaving can be called "Rope". Using this type of weaving, the links of the chain are placed perpendicular to each arc. Several links can be included in one ring at once, as a result of which the chain takes on a twisted shape. Cord chains can be both thin and thick, have a thickness of 2 to 7 mm.

Fantasy weaving. In this form, many ways of making men's chains are combined. Products made in this way are not cheap, as the master needs to make a lot of effort in order to create a harmonious product.

Ball. This style of weaving is otherwise called "Balls". This is a fairly young, but already popular weaving method among men, with the help of which craftsmen make chains not only from balls, but also from cylinders.

Circular weaving. It is very similar to snake scales, and the links are connected several at a time. Such weaving is preferred by young and active men.

Flattened eight. The edges of the links are processed in a special way, resulting in a product of a peculiar kind. Such chains are loved by men of all ages.
