For the manufacture of weaving "Italian" double and triple links are connected at different angles to each other. Weaving can be performed both manually and automated.

The main stages of manufacturing:

• Forming a wire from an alloy of metal, twisting it and dividing it into parts with two or three turns.
• Connection of turns in the form of links, soldering of turns.
• Trimming excess tips, whitening products, grinding.

With the help of the machine produced a large number of links. The jeweler with a magnifying glass checks each for the absence of various kinds of damage, then removes the finished parts from the machine. They are placed under the press, where the faces of neighboring links are connected.

The whole process is controlled by machine tools and conveyors. They are developing the shape, density of the metal. Automated work allows you to receive on the basis of the production of finished chains.

The main difference of machine labor is the possibility of stamping the product. For a jeweler, even the most experienced, this is too delicate work, and most often custom-made jewelry does not have a stigma.

• On the product of genuine quality must have a stigma. It confirms the presence of precious metal in the composition, is a guarantee of quality. In Italian weaving, the mark is placed near the castle, it is noticeable upon close examination and does not catch the eye. The only good reason for the lack of stigma - the manufacture of jewelry to order. In this case, the work is so thin that it is not possible to apply the stamp manually.

• Massive decoration with lots of links is easy to fake. Fake chains and bracelets are usually coated with gold, made of low-grade metal, sold without certificates for products. You can avoid meeting with scammers if you buy jewelry in branded stores and from professional jewelers with an impeccable reputation.

• The decoration is self-sufficient, but if you wish, you can decorate it with a pendant or pendant of an attractive design. When purchasing a chain, you need to understand whether it will look with additional elements or it is inappropriate.

• The price of the product mainly depends on its massiveness and weight. To reduce the weight, and accordingly the cost, you can, if you prefer empty links filled. Inside such a link from a precious metal is an empty cavity. This change does not affect the external signs, but it reduces the weight and allows saving.

• Female models are more elegant, openwork. The length can be selected according to the area that will be open on the body. A deep neckline will decorate a long product, and a small neckline will look better with a short decoration. If you choose a bracelet that matches the color and material, the image will be harmonious and complete.

• When choosing a chain of silver, it is necessary to make sure that the Italian weaving is covered with a layer of rhodium, otherwise the noble metal will react with oxygen and will be covered with dark spots.

If your favorite accessory is darkened or has acquired a gray patina, this does not mean that it cannot be saved. This is just a natural reaction of the metal to the effects of oxygen and contact with the body that produces sweat.

Professional jewelers carry out professional cleaning of products, but there are several ways to restore the original look of the chain at home:

• Plaque from gold and silver can be removed by placing the product for 2 minutes in a jar of finely grated potatoes, diluted with drinking water and soda (50 grams of soda per 1 liter of water).
• Darkened silver perfectly brings to life an olive oil applied on a soft flannel flap.
• Steel is easy to clean by soaking the jewelry in a soapy solution and cleaning it with a soft brush.
• After cleansing the jewelry should be dried with a soft cloth.
