Types of weaving gold chains

What girl, girl, woman doesn't want to look beautiful? Since ancient times, the fair sex has adorned themselves, invented various ways to emphasize the individuality of their appearance. A chain of gold has firmly settled in the jewelry box of a modern woman. Different lengths, thicknesses, weaves, it emphasizes individuality, but at the same time, it does not stand out much and suits different wardrobes. Gold jewelry emphasizes the status and taste of the owner. The men also decorated themselves. A solid status will be emphasized by a gold chain around the neck, a bracelet or a pocket watch chain. Consider several types of weaving gold chains:

Quite a popular type of weaving. Its name comes from the name of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who became famous for his iron character, self-confidence and firmness. Jewelers tried to combine all these qualities in weaving a chain. It has sufficient wear resistance and strength. Weaving consists of several rows and looks very massive.

This type of weaving is suitable for both the male half and the female half."Bismarck" goes well with business suits and in evening dress it will be appropriate if the option is not too "heavy".

The Bismarck weave chain has many design options: Triple, Moscow, Armenian, etc. All varieties of this type of chains are made of separate springy spirals, which are connected in pairs and pressed with a special press. The difference may be in the thickness of the chain itself, the number of connected spirals, their size.

Another way of multilayer weaving is the “Royal Mantle”, in this case, some links are braided with thin wire. Such jewelry should be worn with care, they can catch on clothes.

A non-standard option is a chain with inserts of precious stones, semiprecious stones or cubic zirkonia. Dark stones or neutral colors are suitable for men, and colored stones for women, but everyone has individual preferences, you should rely on your own taste.

Weaving "Python" - a kind of chain "Bismarck". This type is considered the most durable and most often made by hand.

A chain with such weaving is a fairly independent decoration that does not require additional accessories. But, if the weaving is thin, you can add a pendant or pendant to it. Another such model is called "Italian" or "Scorpion", if it is made of flat wire, and not of bulk.

This model can be made of the highest 999 gold. Thick weaving will not allow soft metal to deform and will last a long time. Other alloys are also suitable: 958 and 750 samples. Alloys above 750 are stable in air and don't worry about tarnishing and losing their golden color.

The chain of such weaving can be quite heavy.You should choose a reliable lock of the "carbine" type. A chain 55 centimeters long looks organic on women, men can choose a chain shorter and thicker.

Anchor weaving is quite common among gold chains. This option can be combined with pendants, crosses and pendants.

The weaving method really resembles an anchor chain: oval, round or rectangular links are connected to each other perpendicularly and form a single thread. In jewelry stores you can see several types of such chains:

• "Cartier" consists of links of different sizes. Several small links are combined (3-8 on average) with one oblong one, but the variations can be very different. There are examples with diamond processing, notches, figured embossing.
• "Tape" or "Knocked" weaving. The links are quite thick and fit tightly to each other. This chain is like a shiny ribbon. As an independent option, it will fit a business outfit and a festive dress.

• "Garibaldi" - the chain is named after the Italian hero, fighter for the liberation of the motherland. This weaving looks quite heavy and suitable for men.
• Another version of anchor weaving is the “Sea Chain”. Weaving consists of links with jumpers in the middle.
• A large selection and good quality of chains can be seen in the jewelry company "Estet". The line of this company is presented in many stores in Russia.

Armored weaving is one of the most reliable, and according to the manufacturing technology, it is similar to the knitting of chain mail. All links are located in the same plane and are polished on both sides, which prevents the chain from twisting.

Weaving is divided into several varieties. For example, "Figaro" - combines different links in weaving.In special cases, you can find a chain with links from different materials. There are options from three types of gold: white, yellow and red. Two-color weaving of white and yellow gold is quite popular.

Among women, armored weaving "Snake" or "Cobra" is popular - a hollow chain of compressed links. The decoration really resembles a wriggling snake around a woman's neck. There are both voluminous models and elegant thin ones.

For women, weaving "Nona" with smooth-shaped links is also suitable. Diamond cut chains look great. The faceted decoration shimmers in the light and attracts attention. Weaving "Nona" is carried out by machine and by hand. The name of this chain comes from the Italian phrase "grandmother's weaving".

The “Persian” weaving, consisting of large round links, is also referred to as chain mail weaving. This option can even be two-color. For example, from yellow and white gold.

Weaving "Turtle" consists of links with a plane in the form of a tortoise shell. This decoration is very beautiful, but not practical, the links will often catch on hair or clothes.

Another type of flat weaving is Cleopatra, it is recognized as one of the most durable.

Very romantic weaving is suitable for young girls and luxurious ladies. The chain of ring-shaped links twists beautifully around the neck and shimmers.

A variant with a small thickness can be supplemented with a pendant or a cross, and a thick chain is completely independent. A twisted chain is a universal option, appropriate for any age and outfit.

The pendant to the chain should be chosen carefully and tried on in a jewelry store. Too heavy and large pendant will strongly pull the chain, and expose it to breakage or breakage. Too light option can dangle and move along the thread.

Women's thin models are ideal for everyday wear, they can be worn without removing.

As in the armored version, the links lie in the same plane, but they have a quadrangular shape - a rhombus. The most common options are triple and double weaving. The chain is especially popular among men for its concise form and integrity.

Non-standard options may have single-row weaving or more than three rows. A thick chain with several rows of links can combine several colors of gold.

A subspecies of armor weaving. To create it, links in the shape of hearts are used. Thin light chains with small links will fulfill the whim of little fashionistas, and jewelry with links of large and medium size will suit young girls.

The chain with large flat edges looks like cast and does not twist around the neck. "Love" comes in single, double and triple weave.

Exclusively for women. Also, such weaving is called "Chamomile", it is very similar to a ribbon of three-dimensional flowers. With a small weight, the chain looks quite voluminous: thin patterns of round links are fixed together in the form of a bud.

Such a chain can be worn at a gala reception, and it is perfect for older women.

Weaving "Rope" or "Flagellum" is quite dense, which corresponds to the name. A thick chain of such weaving can be an independent decoration for men and women. Due to the simplicity of execution, it can be made on the machine.

Women's options are most often solid, while men's ones are complemented by inserts of gold plates.

The fox tail armor weaving shimmers brightly in the sun due to the flat edges and is used to make fairly thick chains. The first chains of this type (link to link) began to be made back in the Bronze Age. All elements of the chain are stacked and fixed in one direction, which gives the decoration a special elegance.

Consider several types of weaving "Fox tail":

• "Circle" is a high-strength product. The rounded spirals of the links are interconnected in such a way that they cannot be separated or broken.
• Weaving “Square” looks very original and consists of wire, ligament links and rings, complemented by a diamond face. Weaving is voluminous and time-consuming to manufacture, but it looks very unusual and rich.

• An option assembled from spirals that are twisted in different directions is considered extremely expensive. Such decoration involves only manual assembly. Each individual element consists of six thin rings.

The name of this weaving is really connected with the culture of Ancient Egypt. Archaeologists have found a similar decoration on the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamen.

The chain of weaving "Pharaoh" is very resistant to abrasion. Such an ornament looks quite voluminous, but “air” is preserved between the rings, which gives the chain an openwork look. It consists of several rows of links arranged longitudinally and transversely. Suitable "pharaoh" for both representative men and women.

Weaving "Rollo" or "Shepard" is reliable and unpretentious, the chain is easy to clean. Links for decoration are selected in a perfectly round shape.

Inflated hollow rings look quite voluminous and allow you to create a thick chain. The thin version of the Rollo thread is suitable for women, and the voluminous version is suitable for men.

The "Paperclip" or "Snail" variant is created from links with a small curl. The version of the women's puffy chain looks like a necklace and will suit an evening dress with an open neckline.

The chains of this weaving are made of various types of gold: red, yellow, white, etc. Such a chain will not attract too much attention and will organically fit into the everyday look. Often the “Tondo” weaving chains are complemented with small round beads. Balls of gold are attached to a chain and look like a garland.

Weaving "Ear" resembles "Fox tail", but the links of each row are directed in one direction. The chain pattern really looks like a wheat ear. This option is flexible, but difficult to confuse, perfect for everyday wear. The complexity of execution is high and the price is appropriate.

This option is unusual in the form of links, which are small double balls-pearls and "barrels" of gold. Quite feminine and elegant decoration, but not too popular. Suitable for girls and young ladies, emphasize individuality.

The name comes from the English "perl" - a pearl. A variant of such a chain appeared relatively recently, this may be due to its low popularity. But, "Perlina" has another drawback - fragility. An awkward bend can break the cable or bend it.

For owners of a swan neck, the “Pearl” option - a choker, is amazingly suitable, and for ladies with a neck of medium length - chains from 55 cm. The options look great:

1. Classic - a ball and a barrel on a thin cable.
2. Ball - only balls on a cable.
3. Double - a chain with two twisted cables with balls or barrels.
4. The braid is a triple chain.

The original options can be complemented by balls of multi-colored gold or platinum.

This is a wide and flat chain of tightly fitting twisted threads. But there are options with voluminous threads, in which the links do not fit tightly to each other. A solid chain looks very rich and does not require additional pendants and pendants.

Exquisite weaving, consisting of two threads woven into one "braid". Such a chain is quite voluminous and does not require additions. It is worth wearing such an ornament very carefully, it can be twisted and very tangled around the neck.

In 2017, jewelry fashion did not stand aside from fashion trends. Chains and necklaces made of white, yellow, lemon and rose gold deserve special attention. Every woman wants the most beautiful, fashionable and exclusive jewelry to be hers. Let's take a look at some of the best fashion design examples of 2017.

In the modern jewelry industry, as well as in design and clothing, a harmonious and simple style of "minimalism" has come. Such jewelry can be worn at a business meeting, a walk or a party. Thin chains of simple anchor weaving with pendants in the form of geometric objects, flat or voluminous, will do.

Earrings with similar geometric objects can complement the jewelry, but a combination of different objects will also look good. For example: round earrings and a flat triangular pendant.

Do not choose too heavy a pendant and a thin chain, it can easily break. The 1x2 ratio is perfect.Some fashion chains already have a pendant insert, it cannot be detached from the thread itself. The ratio of weight, size and design in such models is perfectly matched, but it will not work to replace the pendant. A fashionable addition to the image will be several chains of different thicknesses and lengths. It is worth considering carefully the selection of chains.

The outfit must be chosen with a high neckline. Blouses made of light flowing fabric are ideal. The largest and shortest chain is put on top, and thinner threads can be chosen long.

Typically, manufacturers adhere to the standard chain length, it is always a multiple of five. Slender women and men fit chains 40-45 centimeters long. Universal option - 50-55 centimeters. Quite rarely in stores there are chains with a length of 70 centimeters or more.

Massive jewelry is in fashion in 2017. Large short chains will look great with plain sweaters, t-shirts and dresses. A massive yellow gold chain can be worn to work with a business suit, and for a party - with a dress of a simple silhouette. This option is suitable for girls and women, and little girls need to pick up something more elegant.

Large and short models are especially suitable for ladies with a long or medium neck. They can be worn with a simple T-shirt collar closed or open. In the office, you can wear a large gold chain under the shirt collar so that only the central part is visible.

Fashion stylists in the new 2017 prefer lemon gold and white. Puffy rings in "Anchor" weaving look great.It is worth paying attention to chains with complex weaving: “Fox tail” or “Rose” with a diamond face. For an evening and business look, "Turtle" weaving with large edges is suitable.

Men this year are advised to combine voluminous long chains and simple t-shirts in neutral colors. This style is rather casual, but upon closer examination, many will like it. Reviews about fashion trends in jewelry are divided. Many of the fair sex this year choose short jewelry - chokers and complement them with pendants. This option is suitable for young girls for a walk or a date. The chain can be chosen flat with weaving "Snake" or "Cobra". Fantasy weaving with flat links in the form of eights, large rings will look self-sufficient. It is important that the links do not have snagging or sharp links, this can injure the skin and make the dyeing toe a real torture.

Other girls are in favor of massive heavy jewelry. In this case, you need to pick up chains with inflated links, they will cost less. Such an ornament does not require additions in the form of pendants, and you need to choose a fantasy single-row weaving. Long hand thin chains with clones are also not in last place. In the warm season, girls prefer to wear them with dresses and blouses, as they lengthen the silhouette. Many solved the problem radically and combined short chains - chokers and long models with pendants. Here it is worth considering the distance between the chains. The same gap is not an interesting option.The best arrangements are long chains together, almost on the same level, and the distance to the short chain is greater.

In this version, unusual and exclusive textures and colors of gold are welcome: black, white, lemon, with and without a diamond edge, openwork and flat chains.
