Double rhombus weave chains

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.

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).

Product variations:

• rounded double links - soft and delicate shape, reminiscent of floral elements;
• square - a more voluminous form;
• elongated rings are the most traditional form.

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.

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.

Almost any metal is suitable for making jewelry, but nowadays, precious metals are increasingly preferred.:

• gold (585 standard);
• silver (925 standard);
• gold plated silver.

Material thickness varies between 0.2 mm and 1 mm.

The most common double rhombus chains are:

• Chains: 40, 45, 50, 55, 60, 65, 70 and 75 cm.
• Bracelets: 16, 17, 18, 19, 20, 21, 22, 23, 24, 25 and 26 cm.

A universal option for women is a chain of 45-50 cm, and men, in most cases, will feel comfortable with a length of 55-60 cm. Of course, in this matter, everyone starts from their own tastes. Personal comfort and your dress code must be considered.

The unambiguous advantages of this decoration include:

• The strength of the products. Chains of this type have always been pleasing, because they break less often and serve for quite a long time.
• Various product variations. Various techniques and types of diamond chain weaving provide a huge selection of this type of product. Everyone will be able to choose a piece of jewelry for themselves, depending on their tastes and preferences.
• The versatility of jewelry. It is easy to choose an outfit for such products, because they will be appropriate both with classic or evening dresses, and with everyday clothes.
• The accessory has an interesting and voluminous ornament and will suit almost everyone, regardless of age and gender. There is a tendency for women to give preference to flat chains. Men usually opt for double weave chains, because the product acquires volume and some massiveness.

Another argument in favor of choosing jewelry of this type is their ideal combination with other accessories.

An addition to your image can be, for example:

• Small pendants and pendants;
• Jewelry with stones;
• Name pendants;
• Zodiac pendants;
• Long elegant pendants.

It is these combinations that are given the greatest preference. In any jewelry salon you can find a spectacular and unique gift for yourself or your loved ones.
