In the jewelry market, you often have to deal with incomprehensible names. A large number of types of weaving chains and bracelets. In fact, everything is much simpler, because each species got its name based on the associations that weaving causes. Let's look at the most popular options for gold (silver) bracelets.
Types of weaving bracelets made of gold (silver)
Each of the following types is not self-sufficient. Often different names are the same species, but with minor features and changes.
Bismarck
The name is associated with the first chancellor of Germany. The reliability and majesty of Otto Bismarck became a prototype of the same qualities of weaving.
There are products with one track of links, but more often chains and bracelets of the Bismarck type consist of 2-3 tracks. Jewelry with Bismarck weave lasts up to 40 years.
Pharaoh
This weaving is considered the most reliable and consists of many links (photo). It turns out that the load on each link is reduced, and the risk that one of the chain rings will fray, thereby destroying the entire product, is reduced to zero.
Python (Italian)
This is one of Bismarck's most popular destinations. There are reasons for this:
Python is the strongest weave of its subspecies.
The production of this chain cannot be automated. The complex manufacturing process does not allow making the Python chain a conveyor product. It means that each one is hand-assembled by a jeweler. This gives life to another important characteristic.
Each sample is unique, since during weaving an experienced jeweler can include additional elements in the classic version of the python, which will make it even more elegant.
Kaiser (Cardinal)
And one more Bismarck's view. It is not so different from the previous weave. Like the Python, the Cardinal is a chain consisting of several rows of links. But in Cardinal the links are thicker. This draws the line between two bracelets of the same type.
If Python often consists of thin links and is more often preferred to be worn by women, then Kaiser, due to its massiveness and dimensions, can be called a man's chain.
Armored (tape)
This - flat jewelry. It is ground on both sides, resulting in a ribbon rather than a three-dimensional chain. The structural features determine the specific application. Most often, armored weaving is used for bracelets, since it does not twist and lies comfortably on the body.
Classic armor weaving is preferred by men, since the design allows the use of large links in manufacturing.
Figaro (Nona)
First of all, it is a self-sufficient decoration that can be used for wearing a pendant or as an independent element of the image. Often used as a gift for women.
The chain has an original weave. Originality is achieved through the following characteristics:
- Simultaneous use of small and large links.
- Visually, the product consists of two tracks intertwined.
- It's still flat, but more feminine. Double weaving allows for thinner links.
Anchor weaving
Anchor weaving is one of the easiest to make. Ultimately, it is a smaller copy of a regular anchor chain. Accordingly, its configuration is as follows: each subsequent link is in a perpendicular plane.
Attention! This weaving may not be suitable for everyone, but in combination with the right way it will favorably emphasize the individuality of the owner. It is convenient to wear a cross or pendant on such a chain.
Fox tail (Byzantine weaving)
It is one from subspecies of armored weave. Rarely are there men among the owners of this type of chains. The female audience accepts the product much more readily.
There are several reasons for this:
- Elegant appearance of the product. This is achieved due to the fact that the weaving vaguely resembles lace.
- Play of light. During the movement of this chain, light refraction occurs, emphasizing the value of the metal.
Cobra (Snake)
Most often it is woven not by hand, but on a special machine. A special feature of the product is the effect of continuity. It has a discreet appearance and is often found among office workers.
Rope (Harness)
Just like the previous copy, it is not handmade. This is a view that is sharply different from all other chains. The “Rope” sample chain consists of small links.Their density is very high, so that a feeling of integrity is created.
Important! This product can be used either with additional decorations or on its own.
Rombo
This piece of jewelry consists of two tracks. The diamond-shaped links sequentially fit into one another. This gives the chain volume and strength.
The decoration is considered universal, as it is suitable for any gender at any age.
Venice
One from subspecies of anchor weaving. The principle is the same. Each subsequent link must be perpendicular to the previous one. Weaving differs from the anchor form in its links.
If in the first case the links have the shape of an oval, then here they can be represented by a rectangle with various additions.
Rose (courage)
This chain can be safely attributed to the Baroque style. It cannot be otherwise, because the links in the chain here are significantly different from all the others. They are spirals reminiscent of a noble flower.
Important! The product is exclusively handmade.
Singapore
One of the subspecies of armored chains. It has a complex structure that provides glare when rotated.
Type LOVE
A light chain usually worn by the fair sex. It got its name because it consists of elements that resemble hearts.
Ear
Its structure is similar to the Byzantine chain. The difference is that there is no lace effect. All lines are directed parallel to one direction.
Turtle
Quite rare, but not difficult to make. Consists of plates that resemble turtles.
Important! The only drawback is that the plates, falling on top of each other, scratch the polished surface. This chain is best worn in the summer, when contact between clothing and product is minimal.
What should a man or a woman choose?
Most products are suitable for both men and women. However, as an exception, there are several chains that target mainly men or women.
For women's products Luxurious bracelets with Rose, Figaro (Nona) and Fox Tail weaves are more often considered.
More suitable for girls weaving types Love, Turtle, etc.
Men will like it weavings such as Pharaoh, Bismarck, Kaiser, Anchor and Shell.
Everyone will find a bracelet to suit their taste and status.
