The Bismarck chain

For any woman, jewelry is the object of lust. Necklaces, earrings, bracelets , rings and chains of precious metals, encrusted with sparkling glow of stones, can add to any image of luxury, sophistication, elegance. And the gold chains in women's caskets take their rightful place. They can be worn daily or worn on special occasions. The chains of gold are considered one of the best gifts to which the donee will always be happy.

In the past, all the jewelry was made by hand, and today thanks to the efforts and talents of the masters of the chain can be done easel way. This facilitates the work of jewelers and allows women to save their own money, because on the machine you can give the links of chains the minimum thickness, reducing their cost. But, despite the huge number of types of weaving chains, there are those that have held leadership for a number of years on demand. We are talking about women's gold chains, made by weaving "bismarck".

The Riddle of the Name

We can not categorically declare that the name of this kind of weaving of gold chains is directly related to Otto von Bismarck. But one glance is enough for such an association to appear by itself. The fact is that these products look rather massive, strong, reliable, majestic, and the first Chancellor of the German Empire in historical works described exactly this. Perhaps in this way the jewelers respected Bismarck, dubbed his name a new kind of weaving. True or another beautiful legend - it is unknown, but, you see, the story is beautiful!

But there is a more realistic story related to the popularity of the Bismarck weaving. In the early 1990s, when the countries of the former Soviet Union, which had become independent, were just beginning to build an economy, criminal groups were visible to everyone. It so happened that representatives of criminals, for whom gold was of particular value, began to carry chains made by weaving "bismarck." Massive gold chains could tell more about their owners than they themselves. Jewelry, whose weight sometimes reached 500 grams, were statutory. But mostly male jewelry with time became more refined, light, beautiful, so they were chosen by women. Today weaving "bismarck" does not have sex.

Variety of bismarck weaving subspecies

Classical weaving "bismarck" is not connected rings, but springy spirals connected together. They are made by hand, winding a gold or silver wire on the crossbars. Then the resulting spiral is cut into fragments (one and a half turns), slightly unfolded and wound onto the next spiral. After that, the cloth is pressed with a press, and the chain is ready! A chain made by weaving a "double bismarck" is created in a similar way, but the parts are connected in pairs. Accordingly, the "triple bismarck" is three connected spirals. It is worth noting that the hollow elements allow you to preserve the classic look and size of the product, while reducing their weight by almost half.

Depending on the size of spirals, their shape and ways of connecting with each other weaving can be called "Garibaldi", "Arab", "Kaiser", "Cardinal". But all these products are united by a number of characteristics - they are large, incredibly strong, durable (can be worn for 50 years). The gold and silver chain "bismarck" is a good investment in the future and a luxurious decoration that goes to almost everyone.
