The chain is a piece of jewelry, which in ancient culture served to denote the status of its carrier. So, only the most well-to-do women and men wore several rows with complex weaves, made of expensive metals and stones. A stylish chain of combined gold or a combination of several will suit both a strict office look and an evening dress.
Combined gold chain. Universal uniqueness
Types of gold for making jewelry:
- Yellow is a classic version. Alloy with silver and copper as additional components. The final color - from dark reddish to light lemon - depends on the percentage of copper and silver.
- Red - an alloy with copper in approximately equal proportion. By adding silver and nickel to the alloy, you can get a pink hue of gold. Cheap metal jewelry is often made of rose metal.
- White - a combination of pure gold and platinum. For a cleaner shade, nickel is sometimes used instead of platinum.
- Combined - an alloy of several types of metal. The final cost and uniqueness of the product depend on the percentage of each type.
- Non-traditional types - green, which includes rubidium; blue - with indium; violet - with aluminum. Created for application to the product interspersed or to imitate precious stones.
The combined alloy allows you to create jewelry in a unique design that can not be performed using only one metal. The traditional metal colors for combinations are red, yellow and white. In one chain, you can use interlacing links of different colors or make three harmonious rows of each color.

- Men's products should be wide, women's - narrow and elegant.
- When buying a chain, it is necessary to inspect it - the lock, the attachment of links, all small elements should not have cracks, scuffs, traces of unprofessional work done.
- It is best to pick up jewelry in stores of famous brands with a lot of positive reviews and a clean reputation. Cheap jewelry from unverified stores is distinguished by susceptibility to rapid wear and deformation of elements.
