Weaving "Italian"
What does it look like?
An “Italian” bracelet or chain is a weave that goes with any clothing. Jewelry of this type is heavy and can be decorated with a pendant or pendant.
What makes it unique:
- Suitable for everyday wear and more.
- Has durability.
- Has a unique design.
Italian jewelry design is popular. A chain of such weaving does not deform, is worn for a long time, and is made of the following metals:
- gold;
- silver;
- brass.
The chain has a structure of several links, due to this the decoration is heavy and does not have a low cost. Most often, chains and bracelets of this design are made of 585 gold or silver.
Brass is also suitable for such weaving, but the cost of such decoration will be significantly lower than products made from precious metals.
This decoration is suitable for both men and women; The length of the chain is determined individually at the request of the buyer.
“Italian” weaving is complex; its production requires thick wire made of gold or silver. If the work is done manually, the cost of the product may be higher. Mechanical production is cheaper, but when purchasing jewelry, it is worth studying all the pros and cons of hand-made and machine-made.

Advantages and disadvantages
Italy is a country of strong men and passionate women. Therefore, a chain with this name has certain specifics:
- Quite massive.
- It is difficult to choose a pendant or pendant.
- The decoration is quite heavy.
It is difficult to imagine such a product on the neck of a fragile girl; rather, it is suitable for a mature woman. It looks quite respectable and immediately speaks of the status and position of the owner or owner.

Jewelry is heavy, so jewelers provide them with a reliable lock - this is another plus of the “Italian”. In addition, the links do not deform; they fit tightly to each other; if the decoration was made by hand, then its minimum weight is 6 grams.
There are products that are classified as women's or men's, for example, “Bismarck” is more often chosen by men. The product is massive, its weight and appearance are not entirely suitable for women and girls.
“Italian” is a weaving of several links. The decoration can be of any length, and it is not gender specific. Not produced specifically for women or men. If desired, a man can purchase the product and give it to his business partner or girlfriend.
How to choose?
Jewelry should be chosen based on the basic rules:
- the metal must have a uniform color;
- be durable in appearance;
- there should be no stains or damage on the surface of the gold.
Jewelry made from gold has a characteristic shine. When choosing, you should pay attention not only to the sample, but also to the appearance of the jewelry. Gold is a metal that is not subject to corrosion, so chains made from this material will last a long time.
Silver jewelry is not as durable and the metal can oxidize due to contact with air or water. If the alloy contains many impurities, the silver may change color or become coated with a film.
Brass is a metal that is not subject to corrosion, but it is not classified as a precious metal. Therefore, its cost is quite affordable.
A gold chain or bracelet is a great gift to give to a colleague, friend or wife. You can choose jewelry based on a person’s taste and preference. “Italian” is a good choice that will suit both men and women and will complement any outfit.
People have been partial to jewelry since ancient times. They were manufactured according to the technical capabilities of their time. Chains became one of the most popular types. The history of these jewelry goes back centuries; they were worn by both kings and commoners. They were made of precious metals and copper, and diamonds and a simple pectoral cross were hung on them.
Along with the development of crafts, the emergence of various mechanisms and machines, the appearance of products also changed, and new weaving methods appeared. Initially, the entire process was carried out manually - from drawing out the wire to connecting ready-made links, securing them by soldering and trimming the ends. The work is painstaking, requiring patience, skills and time. Over time, some of the work began to be done using machines, and later machines were able to completely carry out the entire process. But at the same time, hand weaving has not become obsolete; it is still in demand and valued as highly as in former times.
To date, many varieties of weaving have been created, each of which has its own characteristics, advantages and finds its admirers.
Bismarck- a fantasy type of weaving, which involves several links connected in different directions. Weaving is quite complex and is done mainly by hand.
One of the types of such fantasy weaving is weaving "Italian", which may also have the name “Python”, “Royal”, “Italy”, “Caprice”, “American”, “Pharaoh” and others. Let's talk about him.
Why Italian? Most likely, the reason is that Italian jewelry houses have always been considered trendsetters, and Italians are devoted fans and connoisseurs of jewelry made from precious metals.
Peculiarities
As already mentioned, the structure of such weaving consists of several links intricately intertwined. Such a chain can only be made manually, using special mechanisms. Handmade products have more weight - a gold product of such weaving will weigh at least 6 grams. Accordingly, the weight and handwork make such chains made of precious metals quite expensive.
Advantages
- Strength and Durability, due to the large number of fastened links.
- Lock security, usually taking into account the weight of the product.
- Wear a chain like this It can easily be used as an independent decoration, thanks to its volume and beautiful weaving.
- Such decoration equally suitable for both men and women. It is suitable for wearing with casual wear and evening wear.
Flaws
- Massiveness, such decoration is not very suitable for young fragile girls.
- If you match it to the chain pendant, then it should be quite large and not everyone can afford to wear such a bulky decoration.
- Quite a price products due to weight and manual work.
Materials
Traditionally, precious metals are used for chains - gold and silver. Such chains emphasize the wealth and power of the owner. Their cost, especially if they are handmade, has always been high. These jewelry are available for both men and women.
Gold is perfect for weaving chains.
It is not subject to corrosion and oxidation, is plastic and looks great when finished. All types of gold are used for weaving: yellow, red, white. Typically, chains are woven from gold no higher than 585 carat, because a high gold purity makes the metal soft and reduces the strength of the product.
Silver is a very sensitive metal to environmental influences.
It can oxidize and darken. Therefore, 925 sterling silver and lower are used. To protect the metal from darkening, gold plating is used, as well as modern technological coating methods such as oxidation and rhodium plating. Occasionally, blackening is used for silver jewelry. The so-called Italian silver is excellent for making such chains - when the product is coated with a very thin layer of pure 999 silver. Thus, strength increases, but the appearance is not lost.
Base metals are also used to weave chains. Previously, brass was used for them, but now jewelers prefer modern materials and alloys. Men's chains made of tin and jewelry steel are becoming very popular.
How to choose
- If you want to buy precious metal jewelry, then you need to ensure its authenticity and compliance with the declared sample. Usually the sample is placed next to the lock. Its absence may mean that the chain is made by hand; it will have to be checked by professionals. You should not take risks by buying a product without testing it in person on the jewelry market; in this case, the likelihood of a fake is very high. It is best to buy from reputable sellers.
- In reputable jewelry stores, such products must have certificates, confirming the authenticity of the product. Now there is a great opportunity to make a choice in the online stores of leading jewelry houses. This will allow you to calmly choose a product based on a photo, select several options, and get the necessary advice online.
- It has already been mentioned that chains This weave looks great on both men and women, they can be worn around the neck or as a bracelet. They can differ in length and width, weight and metal used. As a more economical lightweight option, you can choose a product made from the so-called “blown gold”. In such chains, the links are made of wire that is hollow inside. In this case, the weight will be less, and with it the cost. The disadvantages of such products are fragility and difficulty in repairing in case of rupture.
- The length of the chains is selected individually. Usually the length of the product is in the range of 40-50cm. Young girls rarely buy chains with such weaving, and if they do, it is better to choose a short one 40-45 cm, which emphasizes the beauty of the neck. For older ladies, it is preferable to choose a length up to the décolleté area, over 60 cm. A gold chain of this length is perfect for evening wear. For everyday wear, it is better to choose silver items.
- Men can afford massive and wide chains. The metal can be different depending on the taste and preferences of the owner. Massive jewelry made of steel looks no less respectable than those made of precious metals, but at the same time costs much less.
- When choosing a chain, you should pay attention to the reliability of the lock.. Considering that jewelry with such weaving is never light, the best option would be a carabiner lock.
How to care
Any piece of jewelry requires careful treatment so that it does not lose its beauty and shine.
First of all, you should avoid mechanical damage, scratches, and tears. Try to protect from exposure to aggressive environments, high humidity, temperature, perfumes and cosmetics, and dirt. The product must be cleaned periodically. For such cases, special cleaning products are produced.
At home, this can be done using soapy water with the addition of a few drops of ammonia. The chain is soaked in this solution for several hours, and then carefully and carefully wiped with a dry cloth. A flannel or microfiber cloth is best suited for this.
Tarnishes on silver can be removed using lemon juice or a strong solution of citric acid, vinegar-salt solution, and even toothpaste and powder. But if you value your decoration, you should refrain from experiments.

The aristocratic appearance of the gold chain only favorably emphasizes the wealthy appearance of its owner. The weight of such a chain may vary depending on the wishes of the customer. After all, in any size, a gold chain made with Bismarck weaving looks very good!
The principle of weaving consists of a fantasy connection of links, which in turn consist of several multidirectional “rings”. Bismarck is the strongest type of weaving, so this chain can be worn without removing it.
A little history. Just a few hundred years ago, such weaving was considered truly feminine, and chains made in this style were thin and long. Over time, due to its excellent strength, Bismarck chain weaving began to be used in men's jewelry. Only the gold chains were more massive and thick. In the 90s, every “new Russian” wore a heavy gold chain weighing 150-200 grams, thereby indicating the wealth and high status of its owner.
Subtypes of Bismarck weaving:
- The semi-volume bismarck is characterized by the fact that the thickness of the link is the same or slightly greater than the width of the gold chain.
- Python (American, Cardinal, Pharaoh) - characterized by elegant openwork weaving. Looking for an inexpensive, beautiful and durable gold chain? This type of weaving is ideal for you. Below we will look in more detail at the weaving of Cardinal gold chains.

Thanks to this method, the gold chain has a smooth surface and looks like a single whole. Externally, the method of placing the links resembles a chain mail shell, which is where the name of this method of weaving a gold chain comes from. Such jewelry is also highly durable.
There are the following types of armor weaving:

8. Weaving a spikelet.
Floor: unisex (male, female)
Weave strength: very durable
Difficulty of doing the job: high complexity
Spikelet weaving (Byzantine weaving) is very similar to Fox tail, but the difference is that the links are directed in the same direction. The chain, made of Byzantine weaving, looks like a spike of wheat. This gold jewelry is very popular in England. The gold chains of Kolosok are quite strong and are worn well every day. By the way, they are difficult to confuse, which is a definite advantage when choosing the type of weaving of gold chains!
“Italian” is the name given to very beautiful openwork chains. Italian gold weaving owes its name to a country where men are strong, women are passionate, and jewelry traditions are passed down from generation to generation.
Weaving features
The “Italian” chain stands out from others in volume - it looks massive no matter how thick the wire is used for weaving. The handmade chain looks especially beautiful - it is openwork and delicate, and even looks elegant on a woman’s neck. Men often choose it instead of the heavy Bismarck.
For an “Italian” chain, round links are taken, connected in several rows. The appearance of the weaving can be described in this way: two side rows of links are intertwined with each other, and the central one is needed so that they do not diverge. In this case, the upper link is threaded through the free space of the outer rings.
Depending on the method by which the links are made, weaving is distinguished:
- Machine. Automatic production allows you to obtain a finished chain. The links compressed with the help of staples form the walls of adjacent rings.
- Stamping. Link rings are made on a special machine, which the jeweler checks manually. They are then placed under a press to solder adjacent links.
- Handmade. First, the craftsman needs to make a thin thread, which is subsequently cut into pieces equal to the circumference of the link. The ends are soldered together, you get a lot of rings. After polishing each link by hand, the craftsman weaves the chain.
The work of a jeweler is very labor-intensive, but this method allows you to get a perfectly smooth, thin and openwork chain. The difference from the machine method is that the finished product comes out of the chain knitting machine - all that remains is to measure the required length and install the lock. Handmade work requires time, special care and the skill of a master jeweler, which is why it costs more.
In “Italian” hand weaving there are no thickenings at the places where the links connect to each other - the craftsman cannot squeeze them too much to get even edges.
Price and value
“Italian” is not a mass-produced product, and chains made of large handmade wire are most valued. Therefore, such weaving is more an indicator of the status of the owner than just a piece of jewelry.
This is how the knitting is done:
- thin chains and bracelets with ring widths of 0.2-0.3 mm;
- wide and flat bracelets;
- volumetric products with large links - from 0.5 mm;
- flat bracelets with large links.
Important: Thin things are always machine work; it is impossible to work with miniature links manually.
Taking into account the specifics of manufacturing, “Italian” weaving is used to make chains and bracelets from gold and silver, and less often from brass. The voluminous look recommends wearing chains without pendants, for several reasons:
- “Italian” is beautiful in itself, and the pendant will not be visible against the background of the openwork weave of the chain;
- it is difficult to choose a pendant that matches the size - it will look impressive and weigh accordingly;
- Not a single standard pendant has an eyelet large enough for a bulk chain to pass through it.
The chain looks impressive and can decorate both a business suit and an evening outfit. The correct combinations when wearing will be:
- thin chain and thin wide bracelet;
- a chain with wide links plus a thin bracelet with a small pendant.
The emphasis should be on one product, and the second should complement it. Women should not choose chains “the size of a fist” - even to demonstrate their own status. A thin openwork chain will emphasize the social affiliation of the hostess just as well - in addition, it will demonstrate her sense of proportion and style.
To prevent it from looking massive, you can make a chain from hollow wire - the weight and price will decrease, but the aesthetics and strength will not decrease, because “Italian” is one of the most durable weaves, its attractive appearance has already been mentioned.
How to choose decoration
Approach the choice of jewelry consciously, considering that it is not just decoration, it is an investment. When choosing a chain, such as Italian weave, think about what you will wear it with. Take into account the significant weight of the chain - even a short and thin decoration 40 cm long, “under the neck”, will weigh more than 10 grams, and long options - from 20 or more.
A young girl with fragile shapes should not choose such weaving, or she should prefer the thinnest version of the chain to emphasize the beauty of her neck. Older ladies can purchase a chain up to the neckline.
“Italian” will look great in combination with evening dresses - without additional decorations it can enliven a simple black dress with a closed neckline or, conversely, an open one with thin straps. The difference will be in the length and volume of the product.
Thick chains should not be worn for everyday wear. In any case, they are gold. If you can’t resist the temptation, buy a thin “Italian” made of gold or silver jewelry. It also looks aesthetically pleasing, but costs several times less.
Men will go for massive chains and wide options for jewelry. Gold or silver - depends on the preferences of the owner. The fashion for thick chains has passed, but a chain can emphasize the masculinity of a representative of the stronger sex, his affiliation with social circles, financial well-being and wealth, depending on fashionable looks.
Pay attention to the lock when purchasing. Considering the large weight of the product, it is better to choose a chain with a carabiner lock. If you place an order from a master, specify this immediately.
Gold should always shine, and it is better to entrust the professional care of “status” jewelry to a professional, but it is not difficult to maintain the beauty of a gold item at home.
- Soak the chain in warm soapy water for a few minutes. If the contamination is strong, add a couple of drops of ammonia. Then rinse under running water and dry. Never listen to advice to clean gold with tooth powder and a brush - it will leave micro-scratches on the metal.
- Plaque from precious metals is removed by placing the chain for a couple of minutes in a soda solution (50 g of soda per liter of water), to which finely grated potatoes are added.
- Olive oil will save a silver chain from darkening - wipe the product with a soft flannel cloth soaked in it.
The chain, which was called “Italian”, will make you look at jewelry differently - now you won’t want to have something like everyone else. It will emphasize your individuality and give significance not only in the eyes of others, but also in your own. And you are guaranteed the attention of men, eyes riveted to your neckline.
Italian weaving and its technology differs from other types. The products have a traditional appearance - round volumetric links that are connected to each other. The soldered rings form several rows. This distinguishes the Italian from other complex bracelets and chains. And the birthplace of the method is Italy, the very country where simple and great arts are born.
Chain weaving technology
Before considering traditional weaving technology, it is worth noting the types that are found in the Italian weaving technique. Attention is paid to the methods of connecting staples and rings. Preference is given to standard technologies that were invented in past centuries.
Traditional methods are somewhat simpler, although jewelry alloys in the hands of talented craftsmen can also be transformed to indescribable beauty.
There are three ways to perform weaving:
If in automated work you get ready-made chains right away, then in manual weaving technology only links are made. The products are then made by jewelers based on factory orders.
External differences between manual and machine production differ little from each other. The only point that indicates handmade work is the absence of thickened areas on the sections of the links. The master cannot compress the rings in such a way as to create uniform edges. Only machines can do this, but even here it is worth paying attention to the polishing of the final product.
An important aspect in weaving is the identity of the product and its general image of matching the image of the owner. The thinner the chain, the lower its value, regardless of the amount of material used and its grade. Thin and neat chains are always made on machines. Manual work involves making large rings - this makes it more convenient to work with products.
Finished products are distinguished by density and width of the rings. There are:
- Thin bracelets and chains.
- Wide and flat bracelets.
- Large and voluminous bracelets and chains.
- Large and flat bracelets.
Chains with wide and large links are not even made by hand, since the technology involves weaving rings. Massive connecting brackets will prevent the jeweler from threading the auxiliary ring. Therefore, the best solution for combining products would be a thin and wide bracelet with a thin chain. Another type of combination is a chain with wide links, but in addition a thin, neat bracelet with some kind of pendant or insert.
External image of Italian weaving products
The advantages of Italian weaving are the traditional style. Externally, the chain resembles a simple combination of three rows - two side and one middle. The side links are intertwined with each other, forming a single thread. To prevent them from moving apart, an auxiliary central row is added. Thus, the upper ring is threaded through the cross-section of the free space of the side links.
It is believed that Italian chain weaving comes from the old Bismarck chain weaving method. However, this is a misconception, since the Italian jewelry house initially did all the work by hand. Bismarck is made only on machines due to its complex crossing of all links. The Italian chain is much stronger; it is not deformed and does not distort the fold lines.
Preference is given to gold, silver and brass when weaving such chains. Ready-made jewelry can be complemented with pendants and pendants. For men, a standard medium-sized bracelet made of 585 gold is suitable. It is better for a woman to choose thinner links - the jewelry will look more elegant and graceful.
The advantage of Italian weaving is the versatility of any collection and the ability to emphasize the social status of the owner.
It will suit a business suit and a casual style of clothing. The color scheme depends on the type and purity of gold - the redder it is, the more elegant it looks. To complement an evening dress, you can choose a thin chain with a massive pendant.
Products are also differentiated by size:
Particular attention should be paid to the weight and direction of the lines of the rings. They can be bent in the direction of weaving, forming oval shapes.
The overall figure turns out to be extraordinary for an Italian, but analogues also exist. The chain may have small engravings; There are jewelry masterpieces - reverse inscriptions and secret signs.
Modern jewelry offers several variations of standard weaving:
- straight round bracelet/chain;
- oval straight bracelet;
- ornate chain.
In the latter form, all the links themselves have an arched wavy shape. Such weavings are found in large versions of products; most often they are made of brass. This is a base metal, so the price may be more affordable. Rarely is Italian weave made from platinum; gold in this matter is the main and popular material. Of course, there are also silver bracelets, although the demand for them is less due to the properties of the metal.
