Chains and bracelets are unisex jewelry because they are worn by both women and men. The appearance of jewelry depends on the type of weaving. One of the more popular classic options is the double chain, in which the rhombuses are double-layered.

Methods for making a diamond weave chain
The manufacturing technology of products of this type is quite simple. The links of chains and bracelets are made in the form of two independent rhombuses. Then the master connects and solders the rings.

The chain, which consists of one row of rhombus-links, is made by jewelers using a machine. The double row is made only by machine (machine knitting). After manufacturing, the chain is under pressure, due to which it aligns, becomes smooth and flat.

To give the product a finished look, the craftsmen resort to manual metal processing and, if necessary, cover the chain with a galvanic compound. In the jewelry industry, galvanization is widely used to cover products with a layer of precious metals (gold and silver).

Many craftsmen use the following technique: small notches are made on a gold or silver chain. Jewelers make these wedge-shaped grooves using special diamond cutters. These cuts differ in depth and angle of cut. It is interesting to observe the play of light on such a pattern. It gives the impression of being inserted with real gemstones.

Features of gold jewelry
Depending on how close the chain links are to each other, their angle of inclination changes. The more the slope of each link in the chain, the smaller the distance between the connection of the rings. The following types of compounds are distinguished:
- Straight thread - chain rings are far apart (achieved at an angle of more than 90 degrees).
- Average distance between links (achieved at an angle of 70 to 90 degrees).
- Adjacent rings - angle less than 70 degrees. The effect is that the links of the chain are soldered to each other.
