Double Rhombus Weaving Chain

Chains and bracelets are unisex jewelry, because both women and men wear them. The appearance of jewelry depends on the type of weaving. One of the most popular classic options is the double chain, in which rhombuses go in a double layer.

The manufacturing technology of products of this type is quite simple. Links of chains and bracelets are made in the form of two separate diamonds. Then the master connects and solders the rings.

The chain, which consists of one row of rhombuses, is made by jewelers using a machine. The double row is carried out only by machine (machine knitting). After manufacturing, the chain is under pressure, so that it aligns, becomes smooth and flat.

To give the product a finished look, the masters resort to manual metal processing and, if necessary, cover the chain with a galvanic composition. In the jewelry industry, galvanization is widely used to coat products with a layer of precious metals (gold and silver).

Product Variations:

• rounded double links - soft and delicate shape, reminiscent of floral elements;
• square - more voluminous form;
• elongated rings are the most traditional form.

Many craftsmen resort to the following technique: small notches are made on a gold or silver chain. Jewelers make such wedge-shaped grooves using special diamond tools. These notches differ in depth and in angle of incision. It is interesting to observe the play of light on such a pattern. The impression of inserting real gems.

Depending on how close the chain links are to each other, their angle of inclination changes. The greater the slope of each chain link, the smaller the distance between the connection of the rings. The following types of compounds are distinguished:

• Straight twist - chain rings are far apart (achieved at an angle of more than 90 degrees).
• The average distance between the links (achieved at an angle of 70 to 90 degrees).
• Adjacent rings - angle less than 70 degrees. The effect is that the links of the chain are soldered to each other.

Almost any metal is suitable for jewelry making, but nowadays precious metals are increasingly preferred.:

• gold (585 fineness);
• silver (925 test);
• gilded silver.

The thickness of the material varies between 0.2 mm and 1 mm.
