Gold plated chains

The gold chain is a stylish and elegant accessory that has long been loved by girls from all over the world. Depending on the weaving, size and quality of the gold, such jewelry can be very expensive. However, if your budget is limited, and the desire to buy an elegant thing is unbeatable, then gold-plated chains can be a great solution.

The first and most indisputable advantage of gold chains is their cheapness. This is not to say that such products are extremely cheap, but two or three gold-plated chains will definitely cost one gold.

The look of gilded jewelry is no different from natural gold, so people around you will not notice this little trick. Jewelry with gilding is also quite strong and durable, in addition, their assortment will satisfy any demanding client.

There are many types of chains - thin, massive, medium thickness. They are also different in length and weaving method. The gilding applied to the jewelry also comes in different tones - yellow, slightly silvery, reddish, with a slight shade of green.

Thanks to today's modern technologies, it will last for a long time, and if it peels off a little, an experienced jeweler will quickly update it.

Gold-plated chains are also good because they are more practical than just silver. Often silver is inherent in the property of blackening. This happens because the metal, touching the skin, begins to oxidize from sweat. The gold-plated product will not be exposed to moisture and will last much longer. In addition, such jewelry does not cause allergies and is more durable.

There are two main methods of applying gilding to silver chains - electroplating and rolled gold.

Using this method, the jeweler puts the silver jewelry in a specially prepared electrolyte liquid saturated with gold particles. When the product cools down, these very particles seem to stick to it, turning silver into gold. The result is an interesting coating that looks no different from real gold. Jewelry made in this way will delight you with a pleasant aesthetic appearance and prices.

The second method will cost a little more, because it is of higher quality. When performing such a technique, real gold links are taken, empty inside. These links are filled with other types of metal, mainly copper. This method is called “rolled gold”. Products made thanks to this technique are very durable, because there is nowhere to take gilding, which can peel off at the most inopportune moment.

Today, every jewelry salon is ready to offer its customers a huge assortment of chains made in different styles. There are more than 70 types of weaving, each of which has its own subspecies, as well as advantages.

This type is one of the most common classic weave types. The style got its name because in the end result the decoration resembles an anchor chain. The links here are oval, and connect them perpendicularly. Thin gilded anchor chains look very delicate and sophisticated.

The main subspecies are "Rollo", with rounded links, and "Venetian", with square and rectangular elements.

Weaving "Bismarck" has been popular for many years due to its sophistication and delicate weaving of links. There is no need to hang additional pendants and pendants on such a chain - the product looks luxurious even without them. The links, consisting of small rings, touch each other very tightly and form an interesting fantasy ensemble.

Women's chains of the "Bismarck" type can include several types of gilding, which only adds to their originality.

This type of weaving is characterized by a similarity to chain mail, which is why it got this name. The links are so tightly aligned in a single plane that, ultimately, the decoration looks very much like a ribbon. Armor chains are perfect for full girls, as well as for those who love a business style of dress.

One of the subspecies of armor weaving is "Mona Lisa", a feature of which is the conclusion of small rings into large ones. This makes the jewel even stronger and more elegant.

These are not all types of weaves that can be found in fashionable jewelry stores. There are many more options for classic, modern and fantasy weaves. For young girls, such options as "Love", "Figaro", "Plait" will become especially gentle. These techniques use thin yet durable links of various shapes and sizes, combining them into interesting and unusual patterns.

When choosing a gold-plated chain, pay attention to the type of figure and face:

1. All types of chains are well suited for slender girls, but plump girls should opt for medium and long models.
2. Weaving "Cleopatra", which resembles an Egyptian necklace, looks great on overweight ladies.
3. The square and pear-shaped face type involves wearing long chains that can be decorated with beautiful pendants and pendants.
4. Models of short and medium length are suitable for an oval face, long models without additional elements for a round one.

Unfortunately, if you buy a product in questionable stores, the chance of getting a fake is very high. True, such models also look sloppy - there are roughness and scuffs. But it also happens that the chain, at first glance, is perfect, and after a few months all the gilding disappears somewhere. In order not to get into such a situation, it is better to turn to trusted jewelry brands.

On the Internet, many girls leave reviews about the choice, purchase and subsequent socks of gold-plated chains. Basically, such reviews are positive, customers talk about the good quality, durability and hypoallergenicity of the products. Among the advice for choosing a manufacturer, the chains of the jewelry houses Sokolov, Pandora and Estet are especially highly valued.
