gold chain

When the manufacture of gold chains began, this is a question that is as difficult to answer as it is to understand where the chain has its beginning and where its end. Chains have long been the wealth of wealthy people, they decorated the hands and necks of men and women, and made them entirely by hand, because no machine production originally existed.

Most often gold or silver was used to make chains. At first, the metal was melted, then it was pulled into a wire, and rings of different shapes were twisted from it. After that, all the links were connected, soldered, rolled and polished by hand. As once, and in our days, the finished piece of jewelry is the product of the highest class.

In the modern production of gold chains, machines are used to make them in a wide variety of forms. Such products are distinguished by perfection and intricacy, but they do not have such value as manual work.

The golden thread around her neck always looked elegant, you can wear it on your wrist, you can decorate even a leg with a chain. At will, the chain from this precious metal can be added with an ornament in the form of a pendent, a cross or a pendant. And, making your choice, you need to know some selection criteria:

If the gold is blown, then the chain will look more voluminous, and at the same time cost is relatively inexpensive compared to a chain of the same amount of not blown gold. But it should be borne in mind that blown gold cannot always be repaired if necessary, and the product itself can break down faster, so you need to weigh the pros and cons and then make your choice.

A thick chain of gold is considered more status, but you can’t hang a pendant on it - it will look much better on a thin product. In this regard, girls who are planning to wear a chain with a cross or a pendant are recommended to select jewelery thinner, and the chain for muscular guys should be rather thick.

A women's chain of gold to a closed evening dress should have a small length, like a necklace, but if the chest is half-open, then a longer chain will do. On men, such products are best looking medium size.

It depends on the purpose for which you are purchasing this product. For wearing a cross? Then you should not choose any bright and flashy models, in this case weaving by the standard type will be the best choice. If the chain is worn as a separate decoration, something more extravagant will do. For example, for a guy, beautiful products with chain weaving will be an excellent choice, and for ladies - what is more married.

It is important that the chain fastening is sufficiently smooth and does not cling to your clothes. In addition, there should be no difficulty in fastening and unzipping it.

The most popular option among customers is sample 585. This gold and not very soft, and in the percentage of its product more than half - 58, 5. Gold of the highest 999, of course, more prestigious, but in the case of the chain is unlikely to be a good choice - it will be soft, bend and break fast.

The sample determines how durable the product will be. A sample is put on gold chains different, and it depends on the content of the precious metal in the alloy - the higher its percentage, the less durable the chain will be. Therefore, 375 sample is much stronger than the popular 585 or 583.

Most often, consumers are offered a choice between 585 and 750 samples and the Russians most often stop at sample 585 - both the quality is good and the price is suitable, despite the fact that there are more impurities in such jewelery than in the 750 sample.

If we talk about pure gold, then for permanent wear it is impractical - not to avoid deformation and scratches. And with impurities of silver, palladium, nickel, zinc and copper, the alloy becomes stronger. 750 samples of such additives contain only 25%.

If there is a desire to purchase a gold chain, but funds do not allow it, then choose gold plating, but remember - sputtering has the ability to wear out, and therefore such decoration will not serve you for a long time.

Chains of gold are full and hollow inside. If the body of the product is filled with metal, then it is a cast chain, and this becomes understandable by its weight. Such a product will be durable and durable, it can be worn every day and, if necessary, can be easily repaired. The disadvantage is the high cost.

The weight of hollow products is small, hence their relatively low cost. But the durability and strength in this case, there is no question. Before bedtime, the product should be removed, and for children it is also not suitable, because they are unlikely to be careful with the product.

Product quality is very important.

For example, a quality smooth chain is ideal for wearing it with a pendant, because in this case there will be no permanent clings. You can’t call such a high-quality chain, which looks massive and it seems that its weight is almost 100 grams, and the price is lower than the usual smooth chain. The voids inside the product threaten with permanent deformations and breakdowns, and polishing if necessary will become a real problem.

Wearing a gold chain has always been popular - it is both an addition to the image and an emphasis on the status of a person. It has long been observed that as soon as spring comes, the demand for chains of gold in jewelry stores increases. And it is quite understandable - the clothes become light, their necks are exposed, and these glittering decorations in the sun look wonderful on them.

All are not indifferent to jewelry, and it is normal for a woman when there are 5 rings in her casket, several pairs of earrings and a pair of chains (not very wide - 3 mm, maximum - 5). A men's jewelry arsenal, as a rule, consists of several chains of gold, each of which is necessarily wide, and the types of weaving are different.

It depends on what type of weaving it depends on how easily the gold thread will get tangled and how easily it will tear. For example, a chain with herringbone or omega weaves will become tangled or twisted easily. Problems in this regard will be with the weaving of "snake". These are constant clinging to clothes, constant entanglement, and even then try to unravel and not break.

The type of weaving is very important. He is chosen according to his style, his preferences and according to whether or not jewelry will be worn with or without a pendant. For added weight, the chain must be strong enough.

The spikelet technique or Persian weaving is durable and flexible products, they are suitable for wearing a pendant. A suitable option in this sense would be the marine version of weaving, anchor (especially double, which uses a double oval wheel), armor-plated, "harness", as well as "figaro".

What is better is difficult to say, because for a young lady, for example, a thin chain with a heart would be an excellent choice, and a solid massive uncle would suit a solid “uncle” that would emphasize his status.

More about some types of weaving:

The links of such a chain form is square or rectangular.“Venetian woman” is called double, triple, and so on, depending on how many gold links are woven in one block.

This type of weaving is also called "belzer." Here the links are not oval, as it is most often found - their shape is round. This weave has one more name associated with the Chopard fashion house, which is actively using such a weaving technique - “shoard”.

The advantage of weaving "Pharaoh" - in its technology. This is the most durable and reliable connection links. Decoration is durable and resistant to the process of abrasion between parts of the links. This technology is suitable for both women's and men's jewelry. The pattern looks very rich, and the product can be worn as a separate decoration, or in combination with any pendant.

Such a beautiful name has an armor-clad (one of its varieties) - these are fantasy chains. The links are interconnected in series, polished on each side and get a cut of diamond. Weaving turns out volume, thinned, with openwork and with links which have a difficult interlacing.

Of course, every buyer decides for himself what kind of gold chain to choose. Jewelry is both purely female and male, and there are universal. But men, as a rule, choose weaving more impressive and cumbersome in appearance - “Bismarck”, while women traditionally give their preference to elegant models of chains.

For example, the chains for wearing on the hand of a woman are most often chosen in such a style as “lava”, “nonna”, “singapore”, but there are also other, originally feminine modifications. As for universal products, the most common option is “anchor”. The chain for a child should have a rather dense weaving of a “snake” type; you can also replace it with a jewelry leather or rubber cord.

When buying a chain of gold, you should check how its lock works. The most reliable is recognized lobster clasp. It is strong enough and will not unfasten, even if you sharply pull the chain. Many products have a lock in the form of a ring with a spring, they are inexpensive, but do not differ in reliability, at least, to "lobster" they are very far away.

The merry-minded people have always been and are, and they cannot refrain from refusing to cash in on the substitution of gold jewelry with fake metal. Unreal gold or cheap gold-plated metal is sometimes not so easy to distinguish from gold products. They may be identical in weight to gold, and look just as good, but the gilding will soon be erased and then it will only become clear that the product is a fake.

How can you not get the bait to such dealers and not throw a decent amount to the wind for a penny goods? Understand that a real gold chain is in front of you or a fake one; some simple rules will help:

• Marking This is what you should pay attention to first. The product must necessarily have a sample, which is determined by the purity of the alloy from which it is made. For our country, samples of 375, 500, 583, 585, 750, 958 are generally accepted, and imported products are labeled as: 9K, 12K, 14K, 18K, and 23K.

• If you have such an opportunity, it is best to check the chain for authenticity, in consultation with an experienced jeweler. Money for this service is usually not taken.

• Take a magnifying glass and carefully look through it to the clasp. If the chain is gilded, it can be noticed at the junction of the ringlets of the chain with the clasp. And if the work is inaccurate, then this can be seen without a magnifying glass. If such a check led to the discovery of black or green patches on this spot, keep in mind - you probably will not have gold in front of you.

Typically, manufacturers make chains, focusing on the same standard of length. An ornament made of any material is always a multiple of five in its length.

If a girl has a small breast, she needs a longer chain, and if a lady has volumetric shape, then it is better for her to buy a short chain.

The shortest length, which is recommended for both slim women and thin men, is 35-40 cm. Products 45-50 cm long are considered to be a universal option for men and women of any body size.

Those who prefer maxi jewelry, the best choice would be a long chain (55-60 cm), but such a length of gold chains in jewelry stores can not be seen very often.

They also determine sizes by other parameters, for example, by type of face. For example, if the links in the product are long and oblong, then such a chain is suitable for a girl with a round face. And if a woman of fashion or a mod has a face of a square type, for them the best option would be gentle chains, and having round links.

In addition, you can choose a pendant to the chain in accordance with the eye color, for example, a blue-eyed beauty will fit a pendant with jasper.

Are there any special rules to follow when wearing a gold chain? In principle, this product belongs to the universal, because it can decorate almost any style of your clothes, except with a sports outfit would be inappropriate. A chain of gold is the only or almost the only decoration admissible for any, even with the most strict dress code. Still, the limitations in wearing chains are:

• If they are too massive and expensive, then on a fragile young girl will be completely inappropriate. Where it will look better, wearing a thin gold chain with a coin, with a drop or, for example, with an angel. But for a woman of mature age it is quite acceptable for greater expressiveness and giving luxury to even the most discreet alongside to wear a massive look or wear two chains.
• A chain consisting of small links will embellish any clothes, and larger links can emphasize the extravagance and brightness of the person’s style and image. The chain with asterisks can be worn as a strap on the waist - this is the original version, the only question is whether the length is suitable.
• In ribbon jewelry chains, the links are 3-5 ringlets connected perpendicularly. These are very cute and romantic decorations and are suitable as decorations not only for young girls, but also for women in age. To possess such a chain is to be self-confident, to feel light and always feel young.
• There are also unique gold chains of black color - with the addition of cobalt, ruthenium and chromium, but such jewelry made of black gold is the prerogative of only men.
