Technologies

There are two main technologies. Jewelers make a choice depending on the desired thickness and shape of the product. The link joining method affects the strength and reliability of jewelry.

Traditional
This technology consists in the fact that each ring of the chain is created separately. Craftsmen manually create the desired shape, while paying special attention to the folds of the product. If a jeweler works with a soft metal like gold or silver, then the folds must be sealed with a diluted alloy. A gold bracelet cannot be crafted using this method to be 100 percent gold.

The Venetian is characterized by good wear resistance and strength. But it is very important to take into account the shape and thickness of the rings. A product from wide and flat links is not made using this technology, since it is characterized by fragility. Jewelers create large volumetric links that can weigh up to 20 grams.

Alternative
The main difference from the previous technology is the fastening of the rings. The links are made in turn. Craftsmen make a notch at each edge of the previous ring.

The notch is the attachment point for the next link. This technology is also called rib technology, since fusion occurs between the extreme edges of adjacent links.

An alternative weave allows you to use a variety of materials to create chains. It can be a precious metal or a non-precious alloy. There are no restrictions on the shape of the links. The choice is completely individual.
Jewelers create stunning patterns using straight, oblique or angled braiding. Interesting weaving technologies allow you to create complex and unusual patterns.

The rib method allows you to create volumetric chains, with each link attached at an angle of 45 degrees compared to the previous one. The twisted product is obtained thanks to the oblique weaving. Each ring on the front side is located on a bend.

Connecting brackets
The connection of the rings directly affects the strength of the jewelry. When creating jewelry, jewelers take design and style into account. The austere style is very popular.
The type of fasteners and the size of the links directly affect the appearance of the chain.
