Every woman should remember that the product chosen by her is designed to be in harmony with the outfit, not to stand out from the general style, but to complement the image, emphasizing its femininity and sophistication.

Weaving methods

Jewelry in the 21st century is based on the following methods of weaving chains and bracelets made of gold:

• Machine knitting is a complex automated process that is performed on special machines. Allows you to make jewelry with ultra-thin links (wall thickness does not exceed 0.2 mm). But not all varieties of weaving can be machine knitted. For example, Bismarck is always hand weaving.
• Stamping is the weaving of jewelry from pre-prepared links - stamps. They are not soldered, but threaded one into the other. Stamped bracelets look massive and heavy, but in fact they are not strong and durable, they often twist and deform when worn.
• Hand weaving is painstaking and delicate work. Jewelers who weave bracelets by hand are called chain binders. First, they wind a gold thread on a base in the form of a spiral, after which the resulting blank is cut into rings of the same size, from which the links are soldered. The resulting links are fastened together with pliers, weaving a pattern. The hand-knitted gold bracelet has a minimum weight of six grams, and its appearance and quality depend on the skill of the chain tie.

After weaving, chains and bracelets are processed in two to four stages - diamond cutting, flattening, and chipping.

The choice of jewelry is a matter of taste, but designers advise the fair sex with graceful wrists to choose finely woven gold bracelets. And massive ones, with many inserts and pendants, look better on a full arm.

The chain is the most versatile and functional product, which, thanks to the skill of specialists, has become a full-fledged piece of jewelry. It is worn as an independent accessory, supplemented with a pendant, a wearable icon or a cross.

Now they offer us a huge number of chains: short and elongated, wide and narrow, classic and decorative, male and female, gold and silver, not to mention dozens of different types of weaving. How to choose the chain that is right for you? Let's figure it out together.

Chain weaving technologies

The production of chains is carried out in several ways - manual, machine knitting or stamping.

Machine weaving is an automated technology using special equipment. The use of machines allows you to create jewelry with links up to 0.2 mm thick.

Despite the latest technology, some types of weaving can only be done by hand. And here you can not do without specialists - chain binders. The minimum weight of a hand-woven chain is about 6 grams, and its quality largely depends on the skill of the jeweler.

This is really painstaking and time-consuming work. First you need to stretch the gold or silver wire, wind it on the prepared base and cut the resulting spiral into rings of the same size. Chainlink manually fastens the links with pliers, "tying" the pattern, which provides for the type of weaving. In order for the rings not to disperse, all the links are soldered. The resulting chain is clamped between special shafts so that the links become flat.

Stamped chains are made from ready-made links - stamps. At the same time, they are not soldered to each other, but threaded into each other. As a rule, such jewelry is less durable, easily twisted and deformed.

Solid or Hollow: What's the Difference?

All chains, regardless of the type of weaving, are divided into solid and hollow.

A distinctive feature of hollow chains is a combination of volume and lightness. The wire from which the decoration is woven is hollow inside, therefore, with the outer thickness of the links, hollow chains have little weight. Most often they are made using complex decorative types of weaving and look quite solid. The advantage of such chains is their affordable price, which is determined by the mass of the product.

Solid chains are much heavier than hollow ones, which is reflected in the cost of jewelry. However, they are very comfortable in everyday wear, resistant to deformation and external influences and therefore durable. In case of damage to the links, the specialist will be able to easily solder the product and restore its original appearance.

Types of chain weaving

There are three basic technologies for knitting chains: "Anchor", "Shell" and "Bismarck". Over time, they have received so many variations that today there are more than 50 types of weaving: from the simplest to the most intricate with links of complex configuration. Each weave has a special name and can be made in both gold and silver.

It is easy to guess that "Anchor" weaving got its name due to the similarity with the weaving of a real anchor chain. It is characterized by simplicity and uncomplicatedness. In the classic version of weaving, each link has an oval shape.

Links can consist of one or two "rings". Therefore, technology is also distinguished "Double Anchor".

"Anchor" weaving with round links is known as "Rollo". At one time, this type of knitting became popular thanks to the Chopard fashion house, so it has a second name - Chopard.

Very similar to "Rollo" weaving "Garibaldi". The links of these chains have a round bifurcated shape. It is believed that the knitting was named after the spouses Giuseppe and Anita Garibaldi, the folk heroes of the Italian liberation movement, who were very friendly and shared each other's views.

Fantasy types of "Anchor" weaving also include Aurora and Hawaiian.

"Shell" technology has become the basis for the creation of various types of decorative weaving. Its distinguishing feature is that the flat links polished on both sides are attached not perpendicular to each other, but, as it were, in the same plane. The technology, which is highly durable, got its name due to its resemblance to chain mail links.

Weaving can be single, double and triple, depending on the number of fastened rings. A "shell" knit with diamond-shaped links is called "Rhombus" (it can also be double and triple).

"Nonna" is one of the most elegant varieties of shell weaving. Thanks to the diamond cut applied on both sides, such chains shine more in the light. Despite the external sophistication, these decorations are very durable. Oddly enough, the name of the weave has nothing to do with the female name. Nonna is an abbreviation for the Italian maglia della nonna, which means "grandmother's weaving".

An equally spectacular variety of armor knitting is Figaro, named after the famous comedy hero Beaumarchais, who was distinguished by his changeable temper. Just like Figaro, weaving is characterized by “inconstancy” - links of various shapes, short and long, alternate in the chain. The most common combinations are from 1:1 to 1:5. Figaro chains gained popularity thanks to the jewelry house Cartier, and gradually became known also as Cartier.

Chains often get their names from the special shape of the links. So, the "rings" resembling hearts gave the name to the romantic and gentle weaving "Love". Thanks to the links twisted into a spiral, the “Snail” weaving appeared (it is also called the “Paperclip” for the similarity of the “rings” with the stationery of the same name), and divisions similar to a beautiful flower gave the name to the “Rose” chain.

A snake-like, smooth jewelry cord with tightly fitting links is known as a "Snake" (from the English snake - a snake). This weaving is comfortable in everyday wear, so it is often used not only in the manufacture of chains, but also in bracelets for pendants and charms.

The most popular twisted weaves are Korda, similar to a rope, and Singapore shimmering in the sun. Such chains are usually worn by women. These jewelry are elegant and at the same time reliable in operation.

But the truly masculine type of weaving in Russia is considered "Bismarck". Named, according to one version, in honor of the first chancellor of the German Empire, Otto von Bismarck, he is also known as "Kaiser" or "Cardinal". This weaving is one of the most difficult, so it is often done by hand. Fantasy knitting consists of links, which in turn consist of several multidirectional "rings". Weaving can be double, triple or quadruple, making it one of the strongest. Due to the thickness and volume, one of the varieties of "Bismarck" was called "Python".

An undeniable trend is the so-called fantasy chains. These ornaments are distinguished by unusual types of weaving, a combination of different shades of metals, multi-layeredness and the inclusion of decorative "links". Fantasy chains are more like necklaces or beads and are a completely independent decoration that can be worn without a pendant.

Which weave to choose?

Of course, this is primarily a matter of taste. However, some types of chains are traditionally classified as women's, men's or universal. Thus, the massive and solid "Bismarck" is most often preferred by the representatives of the stronger sex, and the elegant "Nonna", "Singapore", "Rose", "Love" and a number of other varieties are considered truly feminine. A typical unisex weaving option is "Anchor".

For children, tight-knit chains, for example, Snake, as well as jewelry cords made of rubber or leather, are most optimal.

Choosing a chain length

One of the important criteria when choosing a chain is its length. As a rule, the size range is made up of models from 40 to 70 cm.

• 40 cm - the chain is worn at the very neck
• 50 cm - the chain is worn at the level of the upper part of the neckline
• 60 cm - the chain is worn at the level of the middle part of the neckline
• 70 cm - the chain is worn at the level of the lower part of the neckline

It is believed that it is better for women to choose chains up to 50 cm, and for men - longer. And yet, there are exceptions to every rule, and when buying a piece of jewelry, you must definitely try it on.

Types of chain locks

When purchasing a jewelry chain, pay attention to its lock. Firstly, it must be of high quality, since the safety of the jewelry depends on this “insignificant” detail. And secondly, the lock should be comfortable so that you can fasten and unfasten it yourself, easily putting any pendants on the chain.

As a rule, the type of lock is selected by the jeweler depending on the weight and type of weaving of the product. More massive chains have reliable carabiners, while a spring lock is more suitable for elegant thin models. Most often, both types of fasteners allow you to freely put pendants with different eye thicknesses on the chain, therefore, in terms of convenience and reliability, they are approximately equivalent to each other.

Combination of chain with bracelet and pendant

Many of us wear a chain all the time, so we do not perceive it as an ornament. Nevertheless, do not forget that this is an accessory that, like any piece of jewelry, requires special combination rules.

The pendant should match the chain in size, weight (about half the weight) and color of the metal. So, a large pendant or a cross on a thin chain will look ridiculous, and at the same time, too small a pendant will not be worn on a massive item.

Be sure to check that the ear of the suspension passes freely through the lock.

In addition to ordinary chains, there are also chain bracelets, which are often worn by both women and men. Ideally, the types of weaving of both products should match, but this is not common - jewelry can be donated, bought in different places or with a difference of several years. Therefore, it is quite enough that the bracelet and chain are combined with each other in thickness and metal. For example, the "Nonna" chain will look good with a "Rhombus" or "Love" weaving bracelet, and "Bismarck" - with a wide "Shell" knit.

In any case, if you doubt the compatibility of two jewelry, it is better to leave one. As the incomparable Coco Chanel said, “When choosing accessories, take off what you put on last.”
