It’s always a good idea to complement your look with any decoration. Of course, it is necessary that it be maintained in a certain style - in harmony with the other elements or in appropriate contrast with them. A gold neck chain is always in trend and goes with any outfit. It can be of different weaving, complemented by decor, but it will never lose its relevance. How do famous designers propose to decorate the neck in 2020? Let's try to understand the current trends.
Fashionable options for weaving gold chains around the neck
The strength of the chain depends on the type of weaving, but for those who are interested in fashion trends, this parameter is also important from the point of view of relevance. Classic versions of twisting - “Bismarck”, “Anchor”, “Pantsirnaya” - they are also the most popular.
As for the first technique, it is considered predominantly “male”. But with a certain thickness of the chain elements, such weaving is also relevant for women's accessories. Therefore, it is fair to classify “Bismarck” as a unisex weave.Each of the main options also has several varieties - there are about 50 in total.
Reference. Other names for Bismarck weave are “Kaiser”, “Cardinal”. This is one of the most expensive techniques. Jewelry using it is made only by hand.
"Bismarck"
The peculiarity of weaving is that the links are fixed in different directions. It can be simple or complex and consist of several layers - from two to four. The length of such decorations is never less than 50 cm.
Types of Bismarck technology:
- “Royal” - looks elegant and aristocratic, ornate type of weaving;
- “Arabic” - the pattern is similar to the script of the Arabic alphabet;
- “Flat” - considered classic, the links arranged in a spiral have a double curl;
- “Italian” is a complicated type of curling; the jewelry looks incredibly feminine, and its main feature is its exquisite shine when moving.
Anchor technology
A simple type of weaving, as you might guess from the name, similar in the method of fixing elements with an anchor chain. The links, as a rule, have an oval shape. 
Varieties of Anchor weaving:
- “Double anchor” - the links consist of two rings;
- “Rollo” or “Chopard” - the elements have a rounded shape.
Reference. Gold “anchor” jewelry is made using different methods—by hand, by machine knitting, and by stamping. The last option is to use ready-made elements - stamps that are threaded into each other. The manual manufacturing method, of course, increases the price of the product significantly.
The two types of weaving considered - “Bismarck” and “Anchor” - are the most durable. A significant advantage of “anchor” jewelry is that it can easily be combined with any jewelry accessories and can be combined with pendants of various shapes.
Armor technology
This fashionable knitting is reminiscent of chain mail links. The elements of the decorations are not connected perpendicularly, but as if in one plane. Due to the smooth surface of the links, it seems that they are all one piece. 
Fashionable varieties of “Armor” weaving:
- “Nonna” - both sides of the links are diamond cut, which gives them a magnificent shine;
- “Figaro” and “Cartier” - links of different shapes and sizes;
- “Byzantine” - especially strong links of the same shape and size, fastened in a fancy way, turn into a truly “royal” decoration;
- “Singapore” - the links twisted together form a luxurious feminine decoration shimmering with an exquisite shine;
- “Snake” - links tightly adjacent to each other form a smooth cord resembling a snake;
- “Love” - elements of elegant decoration resemble a heart in shape.
Current trends in women's gold chains
In addition to fashionable weaving options, for those who want to be in trend, it would be useful to know a few more fashionable nuances related to the choice and features of wearing jewelry accessories. First of all, it's multi-layered. The option of complementing an image with several jewelry of different lengths and shapes at once cannot be called a novelty for 2020 - this trend has been relevant for more than the first season. You can combine from two to five chain models.
Reference. The trend is to combine gold and silver or gold and platinum. Therefore, if you wear several chains, and even from different metals... It will be an ultra-fashionable addition to the image.
Along with classic and minimalist decorations, which are appropriate, as they say, always and everywhere, massiveness is trendy this year. Of course, the truly “giant” chains that could be seen at fashion shows are costume jewelry, but this “volumetric” trend has also affected the jewelry sphere. The leaders in the “massive jewelry” category were neck accessories with “anchor” weaving.
Reference. Voluminous chains will be appropriate not only in an evening look. Such accessories will become a fashionable and noticeable addition to your everyday outfit. The ideal backdrop for massive jewelry would be an evening dress with a low neckline or simple clothes in neutral tones.
As already mentioned, as if “in contrast” to massiveness, a laconic design is welcome. Neck accessories in Snake or Figaro weave are ideal to complement your everyday look.
Another nuance - massive chains or chains made using a complex technique are “self-sufficient”, but thin, simple design neck jewelry can be complemented with a pendant or pendant. It’s good to have several of them and combine them with different outfit options, choose depending on your mood or in accordance with any event.
Pendants and pendants can be decorated with pearls, enamel or multi-colored semi-precious stones (diamonds today are more of an “ever-trending” classic than a trendy option), be of different geometric shapes, made in the shape of a heart, star, bird, etc.
A fashionable combination is a women's long chain with a voluminous pendant. This does not mean that short and medium-length chains are no longer relevant, but the real trend is when large jewelry is at chest level or below.
A variety of options for current neck jewelry will allow you to choose a fashionable chain in accordance with your own preferences and lifestyle.
