The chain is a luxurious, refined decoration to complement an attractive look. When choosing it, it is worth paying attention to its strength, which directly depends on the type of weaving.
Many jewelers recommend the Venetian chain weaving, as this type has many advantages.
Features
Venetian weaving looks elegant and delicate. It requires a lot of attention and effort, since creating such a weave is painstaking work.
This type of weaving attracts attention with simplicity, but at the same time it looks expensive and unusual. It wins in front of the classic anchor chain.
Weaving chains like Venice can be of different thickness and length. Jewelers use a variety of alloys, so among the variety, everyone will be able to choose the perfect option, taking into account their wishes and financial capabilities. A chain made using the Venetian weaving technique is called the Venetian.
The Venetian type is a kind of anchor. The product consists of links wider and flatter than with anchor weaving. The width of the links can be from one to eight millimeters, and the length does not exceed one centimeter.
Elements can be in the form of a square or rectangle. The choice of shape mainly depends on the alloy from which the jewelry is made.
Who is it for?
The technique of Venetian weaving is in great demand both among the strong half and among the fair sex. It is universal, because a chain made using this technique looks beautiful on a thin and wide wrist.
Technology
Venetian weaving belongs to the classical type, since jewelry consists of links of the same shape and type.Masters do not use additional jewelry or engraving.
There are two main technologies. Jewelers make a choice depending on the desired thickness and shape of the product. The linking method affects the strength and reliability of jewelry.
Traditional
This technology consists in the fact that each ring of the chain is created separately. Masters manually create the desired shape, while paying special attention to the places where the product is bent. If the jeweler works with soft metal like gold or silver, then the bend must be sealed with a diluted alloy. Gold bracelet cannot be created using this method 100 percent of gold.
The Venetian is distinguished by good wear resistance and durability. But it is very important to take into account the shape and thickness of the rings. The product of wide and flat links is not made by this technology, since it is characterized by fragility. Jewelers create large volumetric links that can weigh 20 grams.
Alternative
The main difference from the previous technology is the fastening of the rings. Links are made in turn. Masters make a notch on each edge of the previous ring.
The recess is the mounting location for the next link. This technology is also called costal, since fusion occurs between the extreme edges of adjacent links.
An alternative type of weaving allows you to use a variety of materials to create chains. It can be a noble metal or non-precious alloy. There are no restrictions on the shape of the links. The choice is completely individual.
Jewelers create stunning patterns using straight, oblique or corner weaving. Interesting weaving technology allows you to create complex and unusual patterns.
The rib method allows you to create bulk chains, with each link being attached at an angle of 45 degrees compared to the previous one. A twisted product is obtained due to oblique weaving. Each ring on the front side is located on a bend.
Parenthesis
The connection of rings directly affects the strength of the jewelry. Jewelers when designing jewelry take into account design and style. The strict style is very popular.
The type of fasteners and the size of the links directly affect the appearance of the chain.
Small and thin rings look elegant and gentle. Chains for men usually consist of massive and large rings, and jewelry for women includes small links.
