Silver men's chains

Silver jewelry can be given to male representatives no matter how old they are. Unlike gold jewelry, silver is known as more versatile options. Jewelry made of this noble metal can be easily combined with casual wear, leisure wear and even business suits. In addition, it is considered that silver takes away all the diseases of its owner, saving him from ailments. This metal is known as "moon" because it is more suited to balanced and self-confident natures.

Silver is pleasant to men for its coldness and severity, but at the same time, silverware has a soft restrained brilliance. A chain of this precious metal is affordable for many, but acquiring it requires several factors to be considered. It is its length, type of weaving, test and price. Considering all these factors, you will get a real favorite piece of jewelry, and not just an unnecessary trinket.

If you choose a piece of jewelry as a gift, be more careful in its quality and that it is not fake. Pay attention to the sample, as a rule, the 925 sample is the most common, but there are also 585, 875, 830, 300 samples. Keep in mind that the lower the sample, the faster it will oxidize, dim and darken the chain. It will not be superfluous to check for the presence of a factory stigma, which can be a depressed nominal, a kind of seal of a factory or a master.

Men's chains of silver can be worn as an independent decoration, and complete with suspension. If the product is powerful and with a beautiful large weave, then it will look great on a man’s chest by himself. More concise and thin chains around the neck are ideal for tandems with pendants. It should be remembered that the pendant should also be made of silver and coincide in style and color with the chain. In no case should not combine the wearing of products from silver of different samples or different spraying.

You should always carefully inspect the chain. Its links must be firmly connected. No defects, curved links, cracks or scratches are allowed. Hidden or obvious defects will sooner or later affect the durability of the chain and the convenience of wearing it. Products with poorly polished links are able to create uncomfortable sensations, and in worst cases, and injure the skin. In addition, an unpleasant surprise for a man will be breaking the links or a broken lock.

Orthodox silver chains for men can be chosen for baptism, and for wearing in everyday life. As a rule, they are more concise in design than those chosen as decorations, emphasizing the modesty and purity of their owner. By the Orthodox chain must pick up a cross or icon. The quality of such chains should be at the highest level. Their strength should ensure the safety of the shrines that they put on.

Do not forget that men wear chains not only around the neck. They can be seen on the arm, on the belt and on the pocket watch. Stylish men are ready to experiment and actively use silver chains when creating their own image.

Silver jewelry can not boast an abundance of as many color variations as gold has. As a rule, without spraying, it is only one color of silver-white. The most common types of silver are: sterling, blackened, frosted. Separately, you can select silver with gold.

Sterling silver is composed of almost pure silver (92.5%).It is characterized by dazzling whiteness and excellent strength indicators of finished products. Since pure silver is a very soft metal, various additives are used. In sterling silver, copper is used. This sterling silver does not blacken for a long time and retains its original appearance.

Blackened silver is obtained by first engraving pure silver and then covering it with black (an alloy of silver, copper and lead oxides). After coating, the product is heated until the mobile melts. As a result, the black goes into the molten state, filling the engraving lines, and forms a beautiful pattern. Real blackened silver made with the right blackening technology will always be expensive. The price of the most difficult copies can be equated to gold.

Matte silver looks very unusual and it is possible to make truly exclusive jewelry from it. To obtain haze, the products are treated with a special emulsion and microscopic surface roughness is obtained. If it is necessary to leave a part of the surface shiny, then it is varnished. There are other matting techniques, such as sandblasting and stamping.

Gilded chains are products made of 925 silver, which is coated with gilding. The percentage of gold should be at least 42%. Gilding is carried out by mechanical or electrolysis method. Mechanical involves the use of a mixture of gold and mercury, after roasting mercury evaporates, pure gold remains. In electrolysis, silver serves as a cathode, and gold anode and under the influence of current is deposited on a silver surface.

The length of the chain depends on the body of the man to whom it is intended. Many manufacturers have unified their length and made this value always a multiple of 5. Chains with a length of 40, 45, 50 and 55 cm, as well as 60, 65 and 70 cm are considered to be the most common. Some designers prefer to stand out release products of non-standard length, for example, 56 or 61 cm.

The length of 40 cm is suitable for teenagers and thin men (with clothing size 44-46). Also this length is chosen by men who prefer to wear jewelry on a chain under their throats. This kind of chains is called chokers.

The length of 45 cm is preferred by representatives of the stronger sex of medium build with clothing size of 48-52. Such a chain slightly sags just below the neckline.

The length of 50 cm is universal, it is chosen by most men. With such a length, the chain will hang loosely, but it will not look too big.

Chains 55-60 cm long are chosen by dense men and bodybuilders, owners of a powerful neck. Smaller size on a large body will look ridiculous. If this length is not enough, you can search for products 65-70 cm.

If you acquire a chain without a man, then you must first measure its length in order not to be mistaken with the size. To do this, take the lace, wrap it around the neck and choose the desired length. After that, the resulting value is measured with a ruler and rounded so that the size is a multiple of 5.

Today, men are offered a choice of chains of different thickness. As in the case of length: the thicker the chain, the more massive the male body should be. Slender and thin males should not choose heavy options. Such models may seem too catchy. On the contrary, large and large models will go more for men with full build, as visually they will not be lost.

The thickness of the chains usually varies from 2 to 20mm. From 2 to 3 mm - these are thin models. 4-5 mm is considered the average thickness; it is already possible to hang a pendant or a pendant on it. Chains with a thickness of 6-20 mm are massive products, they are worn mostly without pendants as independent jewelry.

The weight of the chain depends on the length, thickness and type of weaving. Popular are the male models of silver weighing from 50 grams to 200 grams.

Everyone knows that the chain consists of links that are intertwined by different masters in their own way. Links are round, oval, triangular, rectangular, spherical. Weaving and thickness of links, this is the first thing that catches the eye when choosing a chain. The style of the product and its visual perception depend on them. There are several popular options for weaving.

Anchor weaving is considered one of the oldest, but at the same time, stylish. In this weaving, the links are arranged at right angles to each other, that is, perpendicularly. Modern designers have complicated the initial simplicity of this type of weaving, changing the shape and thickness of the links. Instead of round elements, flat, elongated and bridged in the middle, similar to a real marine chain, are often used.

Carapace weaving involves the location in one plane of oval and slightly curved in the form of links. This is one of the automated views. There is a double and hammered connection of elements that are performed on special machines. Very often the links have a diamond cut. The chain with an armor weave has a respectable appearance.
