Silver men's chain with weaving "Bismarck"

The chain is an accessory that does not lose its popularity over time. And he is equally good for both sexes. It all depends on the weaving. Women's chains are more subtle and tiny, men's - massive and brutal.

Depending on the technology of weaving, allocate armored and anchor. "Bismarck" and "Pearl" constitute a special group.

Anchor. A characteristic feature is the perpendicular placement of links in relation to each other. It looks very interesting cord weave, in which the chain is formed by double links. Anchor weaving is one of the most reliable.

The shape of the links can be very diverse: a circle, an oval, a square.

Carapace. It is no coincidence that this group of chains bears this name. The links create a kind of shell and are located in the same plane. Usually it is a wide and flat chain.

Perlina. Chain form the elements that connects the thread. The product resembles miniature beads. These conditional beads are round, cylindrical, oval, smooth, with a cut. This option is ideal for women.

Bismarck. Basically, this type of weaving is used in men's chains, which look bright and catchy due to the massiveness of links. Decoration with this type of weaving does not need pendants. They only overload it, and it will lose its charm.

Weaving "Bismarck" is characterized by durability. Such a silver men's chain looks massive and impressive due to the snug fit of the links leaving it. Some types of this weaving are done only manually. Another name "Bismarck" - Cardinal or Kaiser.

There are several types of weaving "Bismarck":

• Flat or trickle. Each link looks like a double ring. The chain is quite wide and flat. It is equally suitable for both men and women.

• Semi-volume or spring. Very beautiful and elegant decoration. The links are intertwined with each other in different planes, forming a volume chain. Round links form the base, which is braided additionally with oval rings. The parameters of the thickness and width of such products are almost equal.

• "Python". This type of weaving mimics the reptile. Not by chance has a corresponding name. Looks volumetric and extraordinary, but without a doubt stylish and fashionable. It has other names: American, Italian, Venetian, whim, Pharaoh.

• Royal or Byzantium. Such decorations are considered the most voluminous. The links are intertwined in a complex order. They look great on the neck of men.

• Fox's tail. The basis consists of paired links interconnected. It is a variant of royal weaving. Such a product may be round or square. The links of a square chain more closely fit each other. The decoration looks like a lace with a conditional square section. Round fox tail more prominent.

• Double (double row "Bismarck"). This method is often used in the manufacture of bracelets. Often used additional decoration in the form of stones, inserted in the middle of a repeating element. "Bismarck" itself is quite massive, but in this case there are two rows in the chain. Therefore, the finished product is very wide and large. To wear around the neck is better to choose another option.

If you want a silver chain to last a long time, choose a product with hand weaving. This method has been around for a long time and is time tested. For the manufacture of links used silver wire. Handmade chains are the most expensive.But they, in turn, are the strongest.

A more budget option - a chain made by the machine. The base metal is taken on which a silver band is wound. After that, the base is etched. The result is an empty chain inside. It can look quite massive, but at the same time have a small weight. In comparison with the chain of hand weaving, such a product is not strong enough.

One of the main criteria for choosing the chain for men - physique. Thin men should choose products that have small links. The massive version does not suit them. A large or wide chain will look good on the neck of large men. Moreover, it visually lengthens it.

Often, men wear a chain with a cross, an icon or a medallion, which are quite heavy. This addition reduces the service life of the chain. Therefore, sturdy, armored or anchor weaving products are suitable for wearing hangers. It is better not to hang the suspension on a light or twisted chain, as well as an automatic-made suspension.

Whatever the chain, it is sometimes necessary to give it to a jewelry workshop to clean and detect defects. The jeweler will identify vulnerabilities, eliminate them and the jewelry will please its owner for a long time.
