Types of modern chain weaving

Design ideas are easily brought to life thanks to a dozen types of weaving that have been invented over the past century. Spectacular, interesting, creative chains adorn not only the necks of eminent personalities, but also ordinary people.

Anchor weaving

The anchor type of link connection is considered the most popular and easiest to perform. Weaving is borrowed from the marine technique of tying ropes, it is a connection of the “ring + ring” type. Based on the classic connection, a large number of variations have been developed. Links of different sizes and shapes can participate in anchor weaving, which form from one to several rows. Composite elements can be rotated to each other along the axis or against it.

Anchor weaving is often found in gold items. Chains are well combined with pendants and pendants.
The type of "cartier" refers to a type of anchor connection. The links have different sizes, are combined into groups of 3-8 pieces, each group is connected to the previous one by a separate oval-shaped link.

In the "tape", or "knocked together" weaving, the links are thick, massive, tightly connected to each other. Visually, the decoration resembles a gold ribbon. This type of product is suitable for a business suit, a strict dress.

Weaving "garibaldi" bears the name of the Italian hero-liberator. It looks heavy, suitable for male images.

"Giotto" is the strongest connection, which, even if one of the links is accidentally broken, will not collapse completely and will not be lost. In Russia, this connection is called "curtains". The links are thin in cross section, have the shape of rings. A group of several rings is connected by another group of rings, which is located in a different plane. The Giotto chain looks modern and eccentric.
"Sea chain" is a classic anchor weaving, which has a jumper in the middle of the links.

Carapace weaving

The manufacturing technology of the armored connection is similar to the knitting of chain mail. The links are connected to each other in the same plane, both sides are ground to prevent twisting. This type of fastening is considered the most reliable.

This type has varieties. "Figaro" is a group of identical links, connected by a link that is larger in size. There are products in which "figaro" is made with the inclusion of links from different materials, for example, two-component chains made of white and yellow gold.

Among the female half of humanity, chains with shell weaving of the "Cobra" type are popular. The decoration is hollow, consists of densely compressed parts. The chain twists interestingly, resembling a snake. You can find voluminous jewelry, and, conversely, thin, incredibly elegant.

"Nona" is the most elegant embodiment of the shell connection. One link group consists of two elongated ovals of different sizes. The large oval of the next group is connected to the small oval, which, in turn, is intertwined with the large one from the previous group. The product is made manually or by machine. The weave looks very smooth, in the sun it plays beautifully in the rays, attracts attention. Such chains are loved by young girls, and mature ladies complement the jewelry with a pendant with a precious stone.

"Persian" weaving refers to a type of chain mail connection, consists of large round links, often two-colored.

Figure-eight links make curb weaving even more interesting. Spraying on the elements will create a beautiful iridescence.
The Turtle connection is interesting, but not practical. The links cling to hair, clothes, making it uncomfortable to wear.

"Love" looks like a subspecies of chain mail weave, has the shape of "heart" links. The chain is weightless, light, looks like a golden thread, ideal for little fashionistas and teenage girls. The product does not twist, does not cling to the hair.
"Fox tail" has flat edges in the structure, connected according to the "link to link" type. The product shimmers beautifully in the sun. This species has its roots in the distant past, in the Bronze Age. All links of the product are laid in one plane, which gives it a refined elegance.

Singapore for romantics

Weaving "Singapore" looks feminine, suitable for girls of all ages.

Ring-shaped links form the product, twist beautifully, creating shine and shimmer of the sun on the neck. This is the most romantic option of all chains.
Thin chains are complemented with a cross or a small pendant, a thick chain looks self-sufficient without additional elements.

The choice of a pendant for a twisted chain must be approached wisely and tried on right at the time of purchase in a jewelry store. A large, heavy pendant will pull the chain and cause it to break. A light pendant will rush along the entire length of the product, creating an untidy effect.
Chains "Singapore" are ideal for everyday wear, complement the image of romance and grace.

rombo

Weaving "rhombo" resembles armor, but the shape of the links is quadrangular. Composite elements are in the same plane. "Rombo" is found with double and triple connection. The product looks concise, holistic, suitable for men.

Rope

The name speaks for itself. "Rope" is a tight connection of links, the product always looks thick and massive. The chain is equally preferred by both men and women to emphasize status and wealth. The decoration is made by machine.

Pharaoh, echo of ancient Egypt

This type of connection has been known since the reign of Pharaoh Tutankhamun. On his mummy in the tomb, archaeologists found an ornament with interesting weaving. The pharaoh chain consists of links located in the longitudinal and transverse planes. The rings create an openwork look, between them there is an empty space filled with air. The product looks voluminous, suitable for respectable men and mature ladies.
The "pharaoh" connection is considered the most resistant to abrasion and has a long service life.

Perlina

Weaving "perlin" looks unusual. The links are made in the form of golden "balls" or "barrels". Decoration subtly emphasizes individuality, young girls love it. Such products are not very popular. Perhaps this is due to their recent invention. In addition, the decoration is short-lived. The cable connecting the "balls" and "barrels" quickly collapses and bends, and the repair is very difficult.
