Women's hand chain

The classic materials used to make chains are precious metals. Most often it is gold or silver. Jewelry made from these metals looks elegant and will never go out of style.

Other metals, as well as their alloys: copper, titanium, tin, zinc, occupy a worthy niche here. These budget options will look great too. If you still want to see the shine of precious metals on your hand, you can choose an accessory made of inexpensive coated metal. Gilding, silvering, platinum plating are in demand.

But modern designers do not know the barriers in the choice of source material, which is why you can find chains made of materials such as, for example, plastic. This way, they get inexpensive jewelry that is easy to play with in certain styles.

Currently, the market offers customers a huge selection of chains: narrow, wide, thick, thin, classic, extraordinary. This variety allows every woman to choose a piece of jewelry that matches her style, age, taste, but one of the main criteria when choosing jewelry is the type of weaving.

There are only three main types of weaving of chains: "Anchor", "Armor", "Bismarck". Possessing its own characteristic features, each of them is constantly improving and supplemented with small nuances, acquiring more and more new variations.

The simplest type of weaving is considered to be anchor. It got its name for its external resemblance to a real anchor chain. It is characterized by the arrangement of the links perpendicular to each other. The classic shape of the links is oval, however, in such varieties of anchor weaving as "Garibaldi" or "Rollo", the links are round. And in the "Double Anchor" weaving, the links are double. Products of this weaving are highly durable and easy to maintain.

The links in armor weaving, like links of a warrior's chain mail, are attached on the same plane with each other. Thanks to a single, double or triple number of rings fastened in a link, as well as various shapes and sizes, this technology allows you to create the most unusual and original chains. Such varieties of shell weaving are very popular as "Nonna", "Figaro"

Weaving "Bismarck" is the most complex and massive, so women rarely choose it to decorate their delicate delicate hand.

Weaving masters are constantly looking for new, original and unusual forms and methods of weaving, using various combinations of weaving to pleasantly surprise those who like to decorate their bodies.

Weaving is often called by a special type of links: "Love" - ​​hearts, "Rose" - the flower of the same name, "Snail" - a spiral, "Rhombus" - rhombuses and others. "Snake", "Serpentine", "Kolos", "Venice", "Byzantine", some of the most popular today "Singapore" and "Corda" - you can list them for a long time, but one thing can be said about all of them - they are all elegant and are unique in their own way.

It would seem that what a simple decoration is a chain. Classic hand jewelry that does not require any decorative elements. You may be surprised to learn that even it can be supplemented with a wide variety of elements.

Perhaps the most popular addition to the hand chain is inserts. They can be positioned on top of the links: as a rule, these are miniature stones. But between the two links of the chain, stones, pearls, metal inserts in the form of a word, a figurine, etc. can be located. Several small additions, the same or alternating different, can be placed in the decoration. This method of insertion assumes complete freedom of imagination for designers, because anything can be a small addition to such an accessory.

The pendant chain is suitable not only for the neck, as is commonly believed, but also for the arm. You can choose such a set for yourself, or you can choose a suspension separately. Such an ornament will look very gentle and graceful on your hand.

For lovers of extraordinary models, there is a very original solution - a chain in which two or more types of weaving alternate. Such a decoration will definitely not leave the hand of its owner unattended.

If you want a piece of jewelry "with a twist", but do not like to deviate from the canon, the best solution for you will be a combined hand chain. Made of two types of metal, this accessory will look bright and elegant at the same time.

The clasp, oddly enough, can also become a decorative element in a chain. After all, there are a considerable number of their types, and some of them can be turned into a whole composition, or just a large piece of jewelry against the background of a modest thin chain. But in no way does this affect convenience. Fastening them is as easy as using a regular fastener.

1. When choosing a chain on your hand, you first need to determine the size. To do this, it is enough to measure the girth of the wrist with a centimeter and add 1-2 cm to this length. So the jewelry will not tightly hug the hand and, on occasion, will not slip off it.
2. The next thing you should pay attention to when choosing is how harmonious this or that chain looks on your hand. For a fragile young girl, a large chain can be cumbersome, but for a respectable woman it can become an elegant adornment.At the same time, a thin graceful chain may look frivolous on a large hand, but for a delicate girlish wrist it is perfect.
3. Harmony should be maintained in style as well. To do this, your accessory must match the image, as well as be successfully combined with other details.
4. If you definitely want to complement your jewelry collection with a new piece of jewelry, pay attention to the trial. On a chain made of several precious metals, there must be a test on each of them.

Women's hand chain is a rather versatile piece of jewelry. And there, nevertheless, there are several tips on how to wear it correctly.

The main question is - on which hand should the chain be worn? As a rule, it is worn on the right hand, since it is more often in sight, which will advantageously make the decoration more noticeable. But if the chain is massive, it can be inconvenient, for example, when writing. In this case, it should be put on the left hand, and left-handers, respectively, on the right.

• You should not wear a chain on one hand with a watch if it is made in different styles. A classic chain will not look good against a sports watch.
• Also, the jewelry should be combined with rings on the same hand. They should be in harmony in style, and also be made of the same metal.
• As you know, fastening the chain itself is extremely inconvenient. To make the task easier, there is a trick. You just need to take a paper clip, bend it in the shape of the letter S, thread one end into the extreme link of the chain, and take the other end with the same hand. Thus, it will not be difficult to fasten the jewelry.

By following these tips, you can make the chain on your arm an effective addition to your look.
