Carapace Chaining

Women's gold chains are always very beautiful and gently looked on the neck. This is a very organic and self-sufficient decoration that can perfectly fit into any image and become its highlight. One of the advantages of chains is that they can act as an independent decoration, as well as be bundled with a pendant or a pendant. Modern jewelry stores offer the broadest selection of jewelry made from various precious metals. Chains occupy a special place in shop windows, as they are always the first to attract the attention of buyers.

Before you buy a chain, you should decide on some details that directly affect the price of the product and its appearance. First you need to decide what metal your decoration will be from, then choose the method of knitting, filling the links and at the very end decide on the type of weaving and cut.

As a rule, jewelry is made of three metals: gold, silver and platinum. Much will depend on the purity, sample and type of metal in determining the price. Each metal has several variants of samples indicating its purity, as well as the presence of other impurities in the alloy.

The technological breakthrough allowed many professions to significantly facilitate the work, touched on innovations and the jewelry market. If before all the products were made by hand, now machines that do their job no worse than themselves have come to the aid of the craftsmen, but still they do not reach the strength of hand weaving. That is why the majority of jewelers still try to adhere to the traditional way of doing their work, since it is the proven method that ensures the high quality of their work and makes it possible to secure each link more reliably.

In total, there are three methods of chain binding: stamping, machine and hand knitting.

Hand knitting the most difficult, expensive and traditional, but at the same time the strongest and durable. This method requires great patience, perseverance, as well as jewelry talent. To begin with, the metal wire is tensioned onto a spiral-shaped machine, with the help of which links of the desired diameter and size are cut, and then the chain-link jeweler manually connects each link in a certain order to obtain the desired pattern. Then the links are soldered and, in case the decoration should be flat, the chain is passed through the jewelry rollers.

Machine knitting carries out the special equipment intended for knitting of jewelry. When stamping, the ready-made links are used, but they do not solder them, but simply insert one into the other. Unfortunately, such products do not have high strength and are most often subjected to deformation.

Another choice that buyers face is the type of wire. Chains are made of two types of metal wire:salivated or whole. Hollow products are only visually bloated and massive, in fact they are empty from the inside, and by weight these products are usually not heavy at all. But the price of such jewelry is much lower.

After selecting all the above criteria, the buyer becomes before choosing the type of weaving, which determines the appearance, beauty and price of the product.The quality of the chain and its durability depend on the type of weaving. In total, there are five types: anchor, armored, Bismarck, fantasy and twisted, each of which has its own several subspecies. In this article we will focus on the armor-weaving of chains.

Many jewelers believe that the shell type is a kind of anchor, but there are those who single it out separately. The links are twisted so that a visual sensation of the plane of the jewel is created.

Carapace chain weaving has several subspecies:

• Double Carapace Weaving implies the connection of two links through time;

• AT parallel links are arranged parallel to each other;

• Smooth thin chain called "Snake"

• Singaporewhere the links are twisted in a spiral

• In the method Love and Clip the names are speaking and the links are like small hearts and office supplies

• Way rhombo It has a diamond-shaped arrangement of links, which apparently looks like a traditional shell

• Corda has twisting in the form of twisted ropes

• Openwork weaving Nonna has a very beautiful and delicate appearance and is intended for women. Literally, this name is from Italian as "grandmother", which slightly explains the appearance of the weave, as if knitting with needles. The peculiarity of this method is that the shells are connected not with adjacent links, but with two at once: one large and one small. Outwardly, it seems that the two chains are different in size woven into each other. Nonna chains are incredibly durable and of high quality, and endurance gives them precisely the way of their mating, which requires hard and long work.

• Another way is Figaro or, as it is also called, Cartier. This method got its first name directly for the weaving method, and the second due to the world-famous French jewelry house of the same name. It was the Cartier brand that gave Figaro weaving to world renown, since it was this type that was most often used. The peculiarity of this type of chain is that when it is mated, a different combination of alternation of links is used. For example, there is a Figaro method of five to one, which means the alternation of five short links with one long. There are also four to one, three to one and two to one methods. In this case, the exact thickness, length or diameter of the links is not determined. It all depends on the personal taste preferences of the buyer.

The length of the chain with armor weave can vary, depending on the customer's wishes, from forty to seventy centimeters. At this point, too, should pay particular attention, since it is the length that determines which zone will be underlined.

Chains with the armor-knitting method have several advantages over other methods. The peculiarity of the link of links is outwardly very beautiful, and it is suitable for both men and women. This item is very convenient in many ways, because very often massive chains or bracelets are bought for a long time and passed on from generation to generation, respectively, thanks to the unisex style, you can give jewelry to both your grandson and granddaughter.

Another advantage of the chains of curb weaving is their self-sufficiency. A beautiful way of knitting gives the jewelry an original look and can be worn as an independent adornment, as well as complete with a pendant. It is worth paying attention to the fact that the chains are very bright and the suspensions to them should be matched in size and appearance. Many customers, when buying a massive chain with wide links, are additionally asked to make a diamond cut, which makes the decoration even richer and more luxurious.

Tubular weaving is one of the most durable, due to the strong connection of links, respectively, they are less likely to deform or deteriorate, and therefore this chain will last much longer and will retain its original appearance better even after many years.

It is because of the strength of the knit many jewelers agree to work with gold of the highest standard 999. This sample is very soft and requires special ability to handle it, and not all chains can maintain a beautiful appearance, and not every master will undertake to weave a gold chain 999 And the carapace guarantees the maximum durability of gold products of any sample.
