Fine gold chain
Gold is the most popular metal for jewelry, it leaves no one indifferent. With a huge selection in the world of women's jewelry, gold chains attract the main attention. A thin gold jewelry is a simple, versatile and traditional accessory that is equally loved not only by young girls, but also by women of elegant age.
On the shelves of jewelry stores you can find various variations of gold chains, which differ in material, length, thickness and technique of interlacing links. It is most convenient to choose a gold chain that suits your individual requirements if you know the manufacturing features and properties of this jewelry.
Shades and proof
Now designers use not only classic yellow gold for their jewelry, but also come up with entire collections of white. For those who like to save money, gold-plated jewelry is presented in stores, which outwardly do not differ from the original ones, but are cheaper.
These precious products have several useful properties - they are resistant to corrosion and chemically inert. These advantages make it possible to maintain shine, and also give comfort when worn - gold practically does not give allergic reactions. A shade of traditional yellow will be relevant for classic chains that are suitable for everyday use.
Most often, in the manufacture of women's gold chains, metal 585 and 750 samples are used. These figures mean the content of gold per kilogram of the alloy, when the rest of the mass of the product is various additional additives that are added to increase the wear resistance of the product, since without impurities gold is a rather soft metal - it is easily deformed and loses its radiance due to the scratched surface, which especially worth considering when choosing thin chains.
There are a large number of color shades of products - from light wheaten to dark with hints of red. The color of the product depends on the additional additives and samples used.
White gold is obtained by mixing yellow with other metals - mainly silver, palladium, nickel. It is they who give the finished product a white tint. Such chains are suitable for those who do not like the yellow color of metal in jewelry, but do not like silver due to the need for constant cleaning of silver products.
Gold-plated chains have a fragile coating that requires care. Therefore, you should pay attention to gold-plated silver chains - this combination will last longer and will cost less.
Length of the product
When choosing a thin gold chain, it is important to pay attention to its length, which can depend on many factors - height, appearance, age. To independently determine the appropriate length of the decoration, it is enough to use a regular cord.
Products with a length of 35 - 40 cm are suitable for fragile women. Such an ornament will easily emphasize the harmony of the neck. Most often, this is a thin chain that does not need additional jewelry, as it fits snugly under the neck.
Unlike the previous one, the length of 45 - 50 cm is well suited for a chain with a cross or a pendant with a pebble. Such decoration will fit into the image, where there is a deep neckline.
Products with a length of 60 cm are perfect for use over clothes. Typically, such chains are usually supplemented with a pendant or pendant. Such a decoration will become an original accent in the image and is suitable even for a strict office bow.
A shocking addition to any look will be a length of 70 cm or more. For lovers of bold decisions, such chains can be seen in combination with other, shorter ones. At the same time, they can differ not only in length, but also in weaving and even color. The versatility of thin gold chains is that they can be both short and long.
Types of weaving
Thanks to the numerous ways of connecting links to each other, today there are a large number of techniques for weaving women's gold chains. But all this diversity can be reduced to two main groups of patterns - shell and anchor.
Anchor is considered the least difficult - oval links are attached to each other ring to ring. Despite its simplicity, among jewelers, this weave is considered one of the strongest, as the links remain movable, plus they are much thicker and stronger.
Curb weaving is the most sought-after method, which allows you to use the most bizarre patterns and has many options. Armored weaving includes Snake, Singapore and the popular Bismarck, which in Russia is predominantly considered male, but has so many variations that any woman can choose an elegant option for herself.
Today, jewelers combine completely different methods and techniques for weaving women's thin chains.New women's accessories undoubtedly bring originality and innovation to the development of jewelry. For example, a thin gold chain right under the neck can be complemented by a pendant with a pebble, which will already be part of the chain or can be purchased separately.
Short thin chains today can be confidently complemented with small pendants or pendants, combined with long ones and not be afraid of other people's views. Mixing different shapes, sizes and styles is in fashion, so a thin gold chain is one of the trends of the season!
