Combined gold chain
Combined chains can be assembled by interlacing several single-colored threads. Sometimes there are instances when all the links of one chain have a different color coloration. Such decorations look very original, bold and, above all, unbroken.
Gold jewelry has long been firmly established in our lives. Their variety never ceases to amaze. To the fact that gold can be not only yellow, we are all accustomed. Women's chains, in which several shades of this amazing metal can be combined, are not yet very common. However, such ornaments have already appeared fans, not only among female audience, but also among men.
Combined gold chain is an excellent choice for office jewelery. She does not over-attract attention, does not distract from the overall outfit and at the same time complements it. A three-color chain is able to slightly soften an unnecessarily strict business suit by a business lady, reminding others that first of all they face a woman, and then a business partner.
If you choose a combination of an alloy earring or a bracelet for such decoration, it will already be a ready-made set for a festive occasion. Since there will be several shades in the kit, you can safely wear it with any other gold jewelry, without worrying about how to combine one brilliant jewel with another. Multicolored trifles can be worn with a pendant, and as an independent decoration.
It is not a secret for anyone that gold itself is a soft material and does not have a special strength. Therefore, other substances are added to it, thanks to which gold products acquire the most unexpected shades. The higher the sample indicated on the product, the greater the gold itself in the gold alloy and the fewer the various impurities. So, for example, 750 pieces of jewelry contain 75% of gold of the total weight.
Variety of colors
Traditionally combined chains are made of jewelry alloys of three colors: red, yellow and white. There is a belief that this classic trinity has a certain meaning. Yellow color means devotion, white shade symbolizes friendship, and pink color says about love.
We are all accustomed to these shades and they do not cause us surprise. However, the shades of gold are much more. At the same time, few people know that products that have the same sample can be completely different in colors. And the color itself depends on which metal is added to the alloy.
- If the gold ornament has a white color, it means that silver or palladium was added to it. Externally, it is similar to platinum, but lower in cost. Looks very nice in wicker chains paired with pink or yellow gold.
- Sometimes you can find offers of jewelry made of green gold. It is nothing but an alloy of gold with silver content. This alloy is called electrum and has a yellow - greenish color. Sometimes in the composition of combined products with electrum there are lemon shades. Zinc, cadmium and some other metals can be added to the alloy to impart a saturated green color. However, zinc is harmful to the skin, and cadmium releases toxins. Green saturated color also gives the compound gold and rubidium. However, this composition itself is fragile and brittle. Therefore, it is used in combined products such as chain and others.
- Orange and red shades are obtained when copper particles are present in the alloy. This is the most common color jewelry in Russia. On such jewelry most often put 585 test.Looks great in chains of combinations of pink and red shades.
- Red gold has the highest 900 sample. Such a metal is very flexible, easily bends and deforms. In tsarist Russia, jewelers made jewelry from pure gold. To compensate for the fragility of the metal, they were made massive and heavy. In modern industry, this type of metal does not apply by itself. But he looks very nice in the finished products with different variations.
- The yellow color of gold is its original shade. So it is found in nature. For this bright brilliant sunny color, people have become accustomed to appreciate it since ancient times. It is believed that it is yellow gold that symbolizes conjugal love and devotion. The chains, which incorporate details from an amber-colored precious metal, are in perfect harmony with wedding rings of the same traditional color.
- Black gold To obtain an alloy of such an exotic color, a layer of amorphous carbon or rhodium is applied to the finished product. Another way to get a black tone: gold is mixed with chromium and cobalt, then smelted and oxidized simultaneously at very high temperatures. It turns out very brutal color, which is often used in the weave of men's chains with white, pale yellow and other cold shades.
The final gold composition is very complex. Often, it contains many different ingredients, and jewelry manufacturers try not to disclose all the secrets of their business. To avoid becoming a victim of fraud, purchase jewelry only in specialized stores.
