Manual production

In the case of custom-made chains, you can discuss the thickness, fineness, number of links with the jeweler.
Stamping production
A large number of links are made using the machine. The jeweler uses a magnifying glass to check each one for all kinds of damage, then removes the finished parts from the machine. They are placed under the press, where the edges of the adjacent links are connected.

Machine production
The whole process is controlled by machines and conveyors. They are used to develop the shape and density of the metal. Automated work allows you to get ready-made chains as a result of production.

The main difference between machine labor is the ability to apply a brand to a product. For a jeweler, even the most experienced, this is too delicate work, and more often than not, custom-made jewelry does not have a stamp.

Chain selection tips
- A brand must be present on a product of genuine quality. It confirms the presence of precious metal in the composition, it is a guarantee of quality. On Italian weaving, the stamp is placed near the castle, it is noticeable upon close examination and does not strike others in the eye. The only good reason for the lack of a hallmark is custom-made jewelry. In this case, the work is so delicate that it is not possible to apply the stamp manually.

- A massive piece of jewelry with many links, it is easy to fake. Fake chains and bracelets are usually gold plated, made of low grade metal, and sold without product certifications.

- The price of a product mainly depends on its massiveness and weight. It is possible to reduce the weight, and therefore the cost, if you prefer empty links to filled ones.
