Rubber chain

A rubber chain with inserts of precious metals and stones will be a great gift, although it may seem that a tourniquet that looks more like an elastic band cannot be an ornament. But rubber products have long come into use and are loved by both teenage girls and adult women.

Rubber is an allergy-free material. And supplemented with gold or silver, it is capable of doubling the properties of these noble metals. Rubber chains remain the epitome of restraint, elegance and luxury. Today, every jewelry brand includes this material in their collections.

A rubber chain can be considered a conventional name, because this jewelry consists of a cord and is decorated with inserts of precious metals. There is also another decoration option, when the rubber serves as an insert to the main chain.

Another option for decorating rubber products is stone inlay. To make the product look harmonious, and the stones do not stand out from the general style, they are not processed to the end, but only slightly tweaked. The most popular combinations with matte black cords are jasper, opal, kyanite, aquamarine, and rock crystal.

Moreover, such "unprocessed" stones are now at the peak of popularity and neck jewelry with them is found in almost every jewelry store. Uncut stones can be supplied with a chain or sold separately.

The main metals used in rubber jewelry are 585 gold and 925 silver. Considering that products with a cord will be much lighter, then their price category is lower than that of solid gold or silver chains.

Rubber does not tolerate tobacco smoke; if they come into contact, the product may change its original color.Therefore, these jewelry is not recommended for smokers, unless you are ready to give up this habit for a beautiful decoration. For such consumers, willpower can be enhanced by rock crystal, labradorite or jasper pendants or pendants.

Of course, rubber products cannot be called cheap. With the growing popularity, the price is also growing, the average cost of a black lace with a magnetic fastener will vary from 3000 thousand rubles.

Rubber products are conventionally divided into two types, synthetic and natural.

Rubber, which is produced by refining petroleum products, is called synthetic. By itself, such a material does not bring health benefits, but some manufacturers exacerbate its properties with harmful additives and dyes.

A finished product made from such raw materials can cause allergic reactions, rashes and even vomiting. This is especially true for childish fragile organisms. As for adults, we are more resistant to such manifestations, but it is better to buy synthetic rubber products in stores of trusted brands and require all certificates.

Natural raw materials are made from the sap of tropical trees, they are hypoallergenic and a reaction can occur only to additives. To ensure the authenticity and safety of the product, ask the store for its documents, where the composition is indicated.

The hardness of the cord is directly related to the addition of sulfur. From 30 to 50 percent of the mineral in the composition gives the property of a stone. With this ratio, rubber is converted to ebonite.

Based on this, experts advise to ensure that the rubber chain does not come into contact with sulfur-containing liquids, then it will remain soft.

Each time the products are presented, their dullness and bright black color are emphasized. Although, in fact, the raw materials are yellow or beige. It flows down the trees, from where it is collected by workers, and then the material is vulcanized.

In the production process, sulfur and special additives are added, which give the desired density and color to the finished rubber product.

At 30 degrees Celsius, pure rubber loses its properties and elasticity. And when the temperature drops to minus and below, it becomes glassy and breaks.

In addition to the natural properties of the rubber itself, gold and silver inserts, as well as magnetic fasteners of the product, play an equally important role. They have a beneficial effect on the human condition and can help to cope with migraines, high blood pressure, relieve postoperative pain and diseases of the vascular system.

Gold combined with magnetic fasteners gives the body additional energy by transferring positively charged ions through the skin. This fact has been scientifically proven. The magnets, in turn, track the polarity of the cells.

The main difference between a rubber chain and any other is integrity. Such jewelry is difficult to lose or break. The clasp will never open itself, and the cord is almost not subject to deformation. Except that if misused, it may harden.

To bring the product back to its original form and soften it, follow these steps.

• Release the cord from the pendant or pendant.
• Pour gasoline or kerosene into a large cup. Dip the chain into the liquid and cover the container tightly.
• After you remove the cord from the container with gasoline, rinse it thoroughly with warm water and dry it with a dry towel.

After these simple manipulations, you will be able to put on the jewelry again. This method is suitable for chains without metal inserts.

If getting gasoline or kerosene is a problem, then use another method. It consists in heating.

Place the jewelry on a flat surface and heat it up with a regular hair dryer. Make sure that the temperature does not exceed 85 degrees. Otherwise, the product will deform without a chance of recovery.

When using a steam generator, the elasticity of the rubber is restored almost completely.

If there is neither one nor the other, then boil the water. Using the pliers, hold the jewelry over the clasp and hold it over the steam. This method is less effective, but it will soften the material by a small percentage.
