The chain bracelet is the most popular and versatile piece of jewelry for girls. It perfectly emphasizes femininity, beauty of hands and adds charm to the image. The main place was taken by jewelry made of gold: in the past centuries, only people from the upper strata of society could afford them. Today bracelets in the form of chains are not only available to everyone, but are also actively used to create classic and original bows.

Types and models
Strict and playful, thin and thick, classic and fancy - this is not the whole list of what chains-bracelets can be.
The look will be more stylish if you choose a model with stones or diamonds. For example, Arabic bismarck weaving is combined with sapphires, rubies, blue topaz and other stones.

Hollow and full-bodied
Overweight ladies' models are made of solid wire. Hollow bodies have more volume, but less weight. The fact is that during the manufacture of any product, a metal wire is placed in a wire made of precious metals, which is removed at the final stage. This is how the void inside the links turns out.
It is worth noting that the price of hollow products is lower than the cost of full-weight ones, but this does not affect the strength. Jewelry can withstand weight up to 15 kg.
You need to follow the rules of wearing in any case. The jewelry will last longer and will be shiny if you take it off at night. It is inappropriate during physical activity, it must be protected from contact with chemicals. It is better to store such a piece of jewelry in a box with upholstered inside.

On hand
A woman's handle can be decorated with both a simple large chain and an exclusive one with natural stones, pendants and charms, as well as in an unusual design. Models with engraving look interesting.
Slave bracelets are very popular now. Indian women call their national jewelry hand flowers, because the bracelet is connected to the ring (or rings) by one or more chains. Jewelry can be decorated with beads, stones and other decor.

Types of weaving
The chain bracelet belongs to the soft type of bracelet, therefore the modern market offers the following types of weaving:
- Armored - the links on each side are ground and located in the same plane. The technology of their weaving is similar to the creation of chain mail. This allows the chain not to twist and delight with shine. This weaving includes "rhombo", "nona", "figaro" and many others.
- Anchor - here the links are perpendicular to each other. In the classic version, the link has an oval shape, but it can also be round.
- "Bismarck" - has many varieties of weaving. It looks solid due to the complex execution technique and volumetric pattern.
- Combined - in one bracelet, the links have different shapes.
The length of bracelets in the form of chains is the same as that of ordinary bracelets - from 16 to 21 cm.

Material
Centuries later, gold remains a favorite in jewelry, as the female sex still breathes unevenly towards the noble metal of 585 assay value. To please the most fastidious girls, designers combine several colors in one piece.
To create chain bracelets, not only various types of gold are used, but also silver, platinum, hypoallergenic metals.
Silver jewelry often looks as attractive and stylish as gold jewelry. It's all about the craftsmanship and imagination of the jewelry brand designers, as well as the quality of the metal. For example, models made of rhodium-plated silver will sparkle like gold items, only their cost will be an order of magnitude lower.
Platinum chain bracelets are famous for their durability. They are often combined with other metals or decorated with stones.

Selection recommendations
There are a few rules to keep in mind:
- The chain bracelet should not be tight. It hangs down a bit. If the finger passes between the chain and the hand, the product fits.
- Pay attention to the sample of precious metals or the quality of jewelry.
- The quality of weaving is also important, as is the reliability of the fastener.
- Choose a bracelet based on the jewelry you already have. They must be in harmony with each other.
