Upscale jewelers know a ton of ways to turn a classic chain into an elegant accessory. One of the most popular is the Byzantine weaving. Such models look truly noble and attract everyone's attention. In vain, this method of weaving is also called royal.
Features
Byzantine weaving is a variation of the Bismarck technique. In the manufacture of such a chain combine the same square, round or oval links. Curling together, they create a bizarre pattern. Such a chain is sometimes called the "fox tail."
Jewelry models, whether it be chains around the neck or bracelets, do not need additional decor elements. This is a self-contained decoration that can overshadow any accessories. It is already eye-catching. Therefore, additional pendants, pendants and other elements will turn a noble decoration into a tasteless accessory. The task of a royal weave necklace is to clearly, but unobtrusively emphasize the status of its owner.
The technique of the fox tail is quite complicated. It requires a highly qualified master. Therefore, such a product in the store will cost much more than a simple chain, similar in weight. It takes a lot of time to produce one model.
The thickness of the product affects the style to which this decoration corresponds. Massive necklace designed for men. Women can wear it for a celebration. As a daily decoration, it looks more appropriate on more mature people. Young girls should wear gold royal chains for special evening events. But a thin necklace made of silver perfectly complements the bow for a day walk with friends or a date.
Benefits
Byzantine weaving jewelry is very durable. Choosing such a product as a gift, there is no doubt that it will serve for many years and delight its owner with an impeccable look and quality. Any other common types of products are inferior in strength to the fox tail. To break the chain with the Venetian weaving, it is necessary to make inhuman efforts. Therefore, the jewelry can be worn without taking off, without fear of losing it.
This type of jewelry looks very presentable. Products made in the technique of Venetian weaving, look at the same time interesting, solemn and restrained. This necklace emphasizes the excellent taste of its owner.
Talented craftsmen experiment in the process of creating their masterpiece, combining links of various shades of metal, as well as glossy and matte elements. Two-tone steel chain looks great. In jewelry stores, the Byzantium chain is found, which stands out for its thickness. Such jewelry is suitable exclusively for solemn images.
Byzantine weaving harmoniously looks on products of any length. The fox tail bracelets and chains are popular with both men and women. Royal weaving is even used to create voluminous parts - pendants and key rings.
Kinds
Due to the various types of processing links, jewelers achieve certain effects that make products even more original.
- Collected fox tail. It is made of spirals that twist in different directions. Each link has six elements, manually connected by a thin wire. Such a masterpiece of jewelry is extremely expensive.
- A circle. Very durable type of weaving. The internal ligaments of the links are distributed evenly, making it almost impossible to break such a chain.
- Semicircular weaving. Elements in such a product have a smaller bending radius.
- Square. In cross section, the chain has a square shape. Suitable for more massive products.
Any of the above types of Venetian weaving is highly durable and beautiful in its own way.
If there is a desire to add a cross or a pendant to a necklace, it should be borne in mind that the mass of pendants should not exceed the mass of the chain. This rule applies to jewelry with any weaving. Heavy decor can spoil the main product. And in the case of the royal chain, massive pendants can adversely affect the sophistication of jewelry.
