Byzantine chain weaving

High-end jewelers know many ways to transform a classic chain into an elegant accessory. One of the most popular is Byzantine weaving. Such models look truly noble and attract everyone's attention. For nothing, this method of weaving is also called royal.

Byzantine weaving is a kind of bismarck technique. In the manufacture of such a chain, the same square, round or oval links are combined. Wrapping around each other, they create a fancy pattern. This chain is sometimes referred to as "fox's tail".

Jewelry models, be they neck chains or bracelets, do not need additional decorative elements. It is a self-contained piece of jewelry that can outshine any accessories. It is already eye-catching. Therefore, additional pendants, pendants and other elements will turn a noble piece of jewelry into a tasteless accessory. The task of a necklace with a royal weave is to clearly but unobtrusively emphasize the status of its owner.

The fox tail technique is quite complicated. It requires a highly skilled master. Therefore, such a product in a store will cost much more than a simple chain of similar weight. It takes a lot of time to make one model.

The thickness of the piece influences the style that the given piece of jewelry matches. This massive necklace is designed for men. Women can wear it to a celebration. As an everyday decoration, it looks more appropriate on more mature people. For young girls, gold royal chains should be worn for special evening events. But a thin necklace made of silver will perfectly complement a bow for a day trip with friends or a date.

Jewelry made with Byzantine weaving is very durable. Choosing such a product as a gift, you can be sure that it will serve for many years and delight its owner with an impeccable look and quality. Any other common types of products are inferior in strength to the fox tail. To break a chain with a Venetian weave, it is necessary to make inhuman efforts. Therefore, the jewelry can be worn without removing it, without fear of losing it.

This type of jewelry art looks very presentable. Products made using the Venetian weaving technique look interesting, solemn and restrained at the same time. This necklace emphasizes the excellent taste of its owner.

Talented craftsmen experiment in the process of creating their masterpiece, combining links of various shades of metal, as well as glossy and matte elements. The two-tone steel chain looks great. In jewelry stores, there is a Byzantium chain, which stands out for its thickness. Such jewelry is suitable exclusively for solemn looks.

Byzantine weaving looks harmonious on products of any length. Bracelets and chains made using the fox tail technique are popular with both men and women. Royal weaving is even used to create volumetric details - pendants and key rings.

Due to the various types of link processing, jewelers achieve certain effects that make the products even more original.

• Collected fox tail. It is made of spirals that twist in different directions. Each link contains six elements, hand-connected with a thin wire. Such a masterpiece of jewelry art is extremely expensive.
• Circle. A very durable type of weaving. The internal ligaments of the links are evenly distributed, which makes it almost impossible to break such a chain.
• Semicircular weave. Elements in such a product have a smaller bend radius.
• Square. In cross-section, the chain has a square shape. Suitable for heavier items.

Any of the above types of Venetian weaving is highly durable and beautiful in its own way.

If there is a desire to supplement the necklace with a cross or a pendant, then it should be borne in mind that the mass of the pendants should not exceed the mass of the chain. This rule applies to jewelry with any kind of weaving. Heavy decor can ruin the main product. And in the case of the royal chain, massive pendants can negatively affect the refinement of the jewelry.
