A variety of variations of weaves and shapes allow you to create a unique image with this decoration. One of the oldest and strongest weaves - “Bismarck”, has undergone many changes, created on its basis a chain with weaving “Italian” - today a popular and welcome accessory.

The original weaving differs from other species in its massiveness and versatility. Unique jewelry is created using a special linking technique. Thanks to this, the chain has such an unusual shape and has special strength and durability.

The massive Bismarck gained particular popularity in the 90s, when the weighty gold chain was an indicator of wealth and high position in society. After some time, the model fell in love with women, proving the universality of jewelry.

Small changes affected the size of the segments, the weight of the metal, and new colors appeared, in addition to the classic yellow gold.

• The strength of the links allows you to be sure of the durability of such weaving. Also, it is not subject to deformation.
• A reliable lock on all products protects the links from tearing, all of them are adjacent to each other quite tightly, in several rows.
• The "Italian" weave is universal, such a chain on the neck suits men and women, for any outfits and looks.

• Arabic - an imitation of Arabic script in the interweaving of round elements. Arab weaving has the unique ability to reflect natural and artificial light, and faceted diamonds give extra shine.

For the manufacture of weaving "Italian" double and triple links are connected at different angles to each other. Weaving can be carried out both manually and automatically.

The main stages of manufacturing:

• The formation of a wire from a metal alloy, twisting it and dividing it into parts with two or three turns.
• Connection of coils in the form of links, spike of coils.
• Trimming excess tips, bleaching products, grinding.

A large number of links are made using the machine. The jeweler, using a magnifying glass, checks each for the absence of various kinds of damage, then removes the finished parts from the machine. They are placed under the press, where the faces of adjacent links are connected.

The whole process is under the control of machines and conveyors. They are developing the form, density of the metal. Automated work allows you to get finished chains based on production results.

The main difference between machine labor is the ability to stamp the product. For a jeweler, even the most experienced one, this is too delicate work, and most often custom-made jewelry is not branded.

• A genuine quality product must have a mark. It confirms the presence of precious metal in the composition, is a guarantee of quality. On Italian weaving, the stigma is placed near the castle, it is noticeable upon close examination and does not catch the eye of others. The only good reason for the lack of stigma is the manufacture of custom-made jewelry. In this case, the work is so delicate that the mark is not possible to apply manually.

• Massive decoration with a large number of links is easy to fake. Fake chains and bracelets are usually gilded, made of low-grade metal, and are sold without product certificates. You can avoid meeting scammers if you buy jewelry in branded stores and from professional jewelers with an impeccable reputation.

• The decoration is self-sufficient, but if desired, it can be decorated with a pendant or pendant of an attractive design. When purchasing a chain, you need to understand whether it will look with additional elements or whether it is inappropriate.

• The price of a product mainly depends on its massiveness and weight. It is possible to reduce weight, and therefore cost, if you prefer empty links to filled ones. Inside such a link made of precious metal is an empty cavity. Such changes do not affect external signs, but reduce weight and save money.

• Female models are more elegant, delicate.The length can be selected in accordance with the zone that will be open on the body. A deep neckline will decorate a long product, and a small neckline will look better with a short decoration. If you choose a bracelet suitable for color and material to the chain, the image will be harmonious and full.

• When choosing a chain of silver, you need to make sure that the Italian weaving is covered with a layer of rhodium, otherwise the noble metal will react with oxygen and become covered with dark spots.

If your favorite accessory has darkened or acquired a gray coating, this does not mean that it can not be saved. This is just a natural reaction of the metal to oxygen and contact with the body that produces sweat.

Professional cleaning of products is carried out by professional jewelers, but there are several ways to return the chain to its original appearance at home:

• Plaque from gold and silver can be removed by placing the product for 2 minutes in a jar of finely grated potatoes diluted with drinking water and soda (50 grams of soda per 1 liter of water).
• Darkened silver perfectly returns to life olive oil, applied to a soft flannel flap.
• It is easy to clean steel by soaking the jewelry in soapy water and brushing it with a soft brush.
• After the cleaning procedure, the jewelry should be dried with a soft cloth.
