Gold jewelry emphasizes the status and taste of the owner. Men and themselves adorned themselves. Solid status will emphasize the gold chain around your neck, a bracelet or a chain of pocket watches. Consider several types of weaving of gold chains:

Bismarck

Rather popular type of weaving. His name comes from the name of German Chancellor Otto von Bismarck, who became famous for his iron character, self-confidence and hardness. Jewelers tried to combine all these qualities in the weaving of the chain. It has sufficient wear resistance and durability. Weaving consists of several rows and looks very massive.

This type of weaving is suitable for both the male half and the female. "Bismarck" is perfectly combined with business suits and in evening dress would be appropriate if the option is not too "heavy."

Chain with weaving "Bismarck" has a lot of options for execution: "Triple", "Moscow", "Armenian", etc. All varieties of this type of chains are made of individual springy spirals, which are connected in pairs and pressed with a special press. The difference may be in the thickness of the chain itself, the number of connected spirals and their size.

Another way of multilayer weaving is the “Royal mantle”, in this case some links have a thin wire braid. Such jewelry should be worn with caution, they can catch on clothes.

Non-standard option - a chain with inserts of precious stones, semi-precious or cubic zirconias. Dark stones or neutral colors will suit men, and women - colored, but everyone’s preferences are individual, you should rely on your own taste.

Python

Weaving "Python" - a type of chain "Bismarck." This type is considered the most durable and most often made by hand.

A chain with such weaving is a fairly independent piece of jewelry that does not require additional accessories. But, if the weaving is thin, you can add a pendant or a pendant to it. Another model is called "Italian" or "Scorpion", if it is made of flat wire, and not from bulk wire.

This model can be made from gold of the highest 999 standard. Thick weaving will not allow deforming soft metal and will last a long time. Other alloys will do: 958 and 750 samples. Alloys with a value higher than 750 are stable in air, you can not worry about the fact that they fade and lose their golden color.

The chain of such weaving can be quite heavy. It is necessary to choose the reliable lock like "carbine". Organically it looks 55 centimeters long chain on women, men can choose the chain shorter and thicker.

Anchor

Anchor weaving is quite common among gold chains. This option can be combined with pendants, crosses and pendants.

The weaving method really resembles an anchor chain: the links of oval, round or rectangular shape are interconnected perpendicularly and form a single thread. In jewelry stores you can see several types of such chains:

  • "Cartier" consists of links of different sizes. Several small links are combined (3-8 on average) with one oblong, but variations can be very different.There are examples with diamond processing, notches, figured embossing.
  • "Tape" or "Spliced" weaving. The links are quite thick and fit snugly together. Such a chain is like a shiny ribbon. As a standalone version, it fits to a business dress and a festive dress.
  • "Garibaldi" - the chain is named after the Italian hero, a fighter for the liberation of the motherland. Such weaving looks quite heavy and suitable for men.
  • Another option anchor weaving - "Sea Chain". Weaving consists of links with jumpers in the middle.
  • A wide choice and good quality of chains can be seen in Estet jewelry company. The line of this company is represented in many stores in Russia.

Armored

Carapace weaving is one of the most reliable, and in terms of manufacturing technology is similar to knitting chain mail. All links are located in the same plane and ground on both sides, which does not allow the chain to twist.

Weaving is divided into several varieties. For example, "Figaro" - combines various links in weaving. In special cases, you can find a chain with links from different materials. There are options of three types of gold: white, yellow and red. The two-tone weaving of white and yellow gold is quite popular.

Among women, the most popular armor weaving "Snake" or "Cobra" - a hollow chain of compressed links. The jewel really resembles a snaking snake on a woman's neck. There are both volumetric models and elegant thin.

Weaving for women “Nona” with links of a smooth form is also suitable for women. Chains with diamond look great. The faceted ornament shimmers in the light and attracts attention. Weaving "Nona" is carried out by machine and manual method. The name of this chain comes from the Italian phrase "grandmother's weaving."

The “Persian” weaving, consisting of large round links, is also referred to chain mail weaving. This option may even be two-color. For example, from yellow and white gold.

An interesting option would be armor weaving with links of "Eight", and the elements with the coating will shimmer beautifully in the sun.

Weaving "Turtle" consists of links with a plane in the form of a tortoise shell. Such a decoration is very beautiful, but not practical, the links will often catch on hair or clothes.

Another type of flat weaving - "Cleopatra", it is recognized as one of the most durable.

Singapore

Very romantic weaving will suit young girls and luxurious ladies. The chain of ring-shaped links is beautifully twisted around the neck and overflows.

A variant with a small thickness can be added with a pendant or a cross, and the thick chain is completely independent. Twisted chain is a universal option, appropriate at any age and outfit.

Pendant to the chain should choose carefully and try on in a jewelry store. Too heavy and large pendant will strongly pull the chain, and subject it to breakage or rupture. Too easy option can dangle and move along the thread.

Female thin models are ideal for everyday wear, they can be worn without removing.

Rhombo

As in the armored version, the links lie in the same plane, but the shape is quadrangular - a rhombus. The most common variants of triple and double weaving. The chain is especially popular among men for its brevity of form and integrity.

Non-standard options can have single-row weaving or more than three rows. A thick chain in several rows of links can combine several colors of gold.

Love

Subspecies of armor weaving. To create it use links in the form of hearts. Thin light chains with small links will perform the caprice of little fashionistas, and jewelry with links of large and medium size will suit young girls.

A chain with large flat edges looks like a cast and does not twist around the neck. "Love" are single, double and triple weaving.

the Rose

Exclusively female version. Also, such weaving is called “Daisy”, it is very much like a ribbon of volumetric flowers. With a small weight, the chain looks quite voluminous: thin patterns of links of a round shape are fixed together in the form of a bud.

Such a chain can be put on a ceremonial reception, and it is perfect for older women.

Rope

Weaving "rope" or "Flagellum" is quite dense, which corresponds to the name. A thick chain of such weaving can be an independent decoration for men and women. Due to the simplicity of execution, it can be made on the machine.

Women's options are most often solid, while men's options are complemented with gold plate inserts.

Fox's tail

Carapace woven “Fox tail” brightly shimmers in the sun due to flat edges and is used to make sufficiently thick chains. The first chains of this type (link in the link) began to be made back in the Bronze Age. All elements of the chain are laid and secured in one direction, which gives the decoration a special grace.

Consider several types of weaving “Fox tail”:

  • “Circle” is a high-strength product. Rounded helix links are interconnected in such a way that they cannot be separated or torn.
  • It looks very original weaving "Square" and consists of wire, links, ligaments and rings, complemented by a diamond face. Weaving is voluminous and time consuming to manufacture, but it looks very unusual and rich.
  • The option assembled from spirals which are twisted in different directions is considered extremely expensive. This decoration involves only manual assembly. Each separate element consists of six thin rings.

Pharaoh

The name of this weaving is really associated with the culture of ancient Egypt. Archaeologists have discovered a similar ornament on the mummy of Pharaoh Tutankhamen.

The chain of weaving "Pharaoh" is very resistant to abrasion. Such a decoration looks quite voluminous, but “air” is preserved between the rings, which gives the chain an openwork look. Consists of several rows of links, arranged longitudinally and transversely. "Pharaoh" will suit both representative men and women.

Rollo

Weaving "Rollo" or "Shepard" is distinguished by reliability and unpretentiousness, the chain is easy to clean. The links for decoration are selected perfectly round shape.

Often the chains of weaving “Tondo” are complemented with small round beads. Balls of gold are fixed on a chain and look like a garland.

Ear

Weaving "Ear" resembles "Fox tail", but the links of each row are directed to one side. The picture of the chain is really similar to the wheat spike. This option has the flexibility, but it is difficult to confuse it, perfect for everyday wear. The complexity of the execution is high and the price is appropriate.

Perlina

This option is unusual in the form of links, which are small double pearl beads and “barrels” of gold. Pretty feminine and elegant decoration, but not too popular. Suitable for girls and young ladies, emphasize individuality.

The name comes from the English "perl" - a pearl. A variant of such a chain appeared relatively recently; this may be due to its low popularity. But, “Perlina” has one more drawback - its fragility. An awkward bend can break a cord or bend.

Owners of the swan neck are amazingly suitable option "Perlina" - choker, and the ladies with a neck of medium length - chains from 55 cm. Looks great:

  1. Classic-ball and barrel on a thin cable.

Exquisite weaving, consisting of two threads, woven into one "braid". Such a chain is quite voluminous and does not require additions. It is worth wearing such a decoration very carefully, it can twist and get very confused around the neck.

Fashion Design Examples and Reviews

In 2017, jewelry fashion did not remain on the side of fashion trends. Chains and necklaces of white, yellow, lemon and rose gold deserve special attention. Every woman wants her to have the most beautiful, fashionable and exclusive decoration. Consider some of the best examples of fashion design in 2017.

In the modern industry of jewelry, as well as in design and clothing, harmonious and simple style “minimalism” has come. Such jewelry can be put on at a business meeting, a walk or a party. Thin chains of simple anchor weaving with pendants in the form of geometric objects, flat or three-dimensional, will do.

Earrings with similar geometric objects can complement the jewelry, but a combination of different objects will also look good. For example: round earrings and a flat triangular pendant.

You should not choose too heavy pendant and a thin chain, it can easily break. The 1x2 ratio is perfect. Some fashionable chains already have a pendant insert; it cannot be detached from the thread itself. The ratio of weight, size and design in such models is chosen perfectly, but to replace the pendant will not work. Fashionable addition to the image will be several chains of different thickness and length. It is necessary to carefully consider the selection of chains.

Attire must be chosen with a high neckline. Blouses made of light flowing fabric are ideal. From above put on the largest and most gentle chain, and it is possible to choose threads thinner long.

It will be strange to look too long chains with pendants on a fluffy underlined chest. In this case, it is worth choosing another option.

Typically, manufacturers adhere to the standard length of chains, it is always a multiple of five. Slender women and men fit chain length of 40-45 centimeters. Universal option is 50-55 centimeters. Rarely in stores there are chains with a length of 70 centimeters.

In 2017, massive jewelery is in fashion. Large short chains will look great monophonic sweaters, t-shirts and dresses. A massive chain of yellow gold can be worn to work for a business suit, and a party to a dress of a simple silhouette. This option is suitable for girls and women, and little girls need to find something more elegant.

Large and short models especially suit ladies with long or medium neck. They can be worn with a closed-collar t-shirt or open. A large gold chain can be put on the collar under the collar so that only the central part can be seen.

Fashionable stylists in the new 2017 prefer the lemon color of gold and white. Inflated rings in “Anchor” weave look great. It is worth paying attention to the chains with complex weaving: “Fox tail” or “Rose” with a diamond face. For the evening and business image fit "tortoiseshell" weaving with large edges.

Fine handmade jewelry will suit the feminine look, and you can wear a less refined chain with simple weaving to work.

Men this year are advised to combine voluminous long chains and simple T-shirts in neutral colors. This style is quite casual, but upon detailed examination, it will appeal to many. Reviews on fashion trends in jewelry are divided. Many of the fair sex this year choose short jewelery - chokers and complement them with pendants. This option is suitable for young girls for a walk or a date. The chain can be chosen flat with weaving "Snake" or "Cobra". Fantasy weaving with flat links in the form of eight, large rings will look good enough. It is important that the links do not have catching or sharp links; this can injure the skin and make the dyeing of the dye a real torture.

Other girls advocate massive heavy jewelry. In this case, you need to pick up the chain with blown links, they will be cheaper. Such decoration does not require additions in the form of pendants, and weaving needs to choose a fantasy single-row one. Long hand thin chains with clones are also not in last place. In the warm season, girls prefer to wear them with dresses and blouses, as they lengthen the silhouette. Many solved the problem radically and combined short chains - chokers and long models with pendants. It is worth considering the distance between the chains. The same gap is not an interesting option. The best locations are long chains together, almost on the same level, and the distance to a short chain is longer.

In this version, unusual and exclusive textures and colors of gold are welcome: black, white, lemon, with and without a diamond face, openwork and flat chains.
