Chains from Zlato — jewelry that will accompany you on any journey

Planning a vacation in the mountains or a romantic trip to the sea? Or maybe you're going to explore the streets of an old town with a camera in hand? On any trip, you want to stay stylish — but without overdoing it. That’s exactly why Zlato’s jewelry chains have become a must-have accessory for travelers. They are lightweight, elegant, versatile, and easily match any look — from a summer dress to a linen shirt.

Jewelry is not just diverse. It impresses with the number of variations. And no wonder — the history of jewelry making spans thousands of years, so it's not surprising that the assortment of pieces is enormous. But there are accessories that stayed trendy for only a short while and have already lost relevance. And there are pieces that, from the very first day of their appearance, have taken a place of honor on the jewelry fashion Olympus and are not planning to leave.

We’re talking about chains, which have been popular for a long time, and you’re unlikely to meet someone who doesn’t have at least one in their collection. In fact, most modern consumers have several chains in their jewelry wardrobe, each differing in design. That’s why manufacturers continue to create new variations and original designs — both classic and ultra-trendy — which are available in the catalog of Zlato’s online store.

Metal — the first factor influencing your choice

Chains are jewelry pieces worn around the neck. There are also items suitable for wearing on the wrist, but those are chain-like bracelets. Sometimes modern ladies wear such jewelry on the ankle (a summer accessory). But when we talk about chains, most people associate them with neckwear. They vary according to several criteria:

1. The metal the piece is made from;

2. The weaving technique;

3. The length;

4. The purpose;

5. The price.

To create beautiful chains, jewelers use both gold (in various alloys) and silver, and more rarely — platinum.

Gold models may have a reddish, yellow, or white hue. In women’s collections, there are also pieces made from rose gold or crafted from multiple alloys at once.

Silver series also have several variations — craftsmen offer silver chains with gold plating, blackening, or rhodium coating.

As for the weaving technique, listing all existing variants is impossible. Conventionally, weaving styles are divided into male and female. But this is quite a conditional classification, since women often enjoy wearing jewelry crafted in bold, massive weaving styles (considered male).

Apart from classic techniques, there are derivative ones, and fantasy-style weaves are also in demand among women.

Chain lengths also vary. While the width depends on the chosen weaving technique, the length depends on how you plan to wear the piece. For pairing with a pendant or charm, stylists recommend choosing shorter models. If you plan to wear a chain solo, you can go for a longer one. But remember: very sophisticated or massive pieces with décor are a choice for evening wear. For everyday use, there are plenty of models made in a minimalist and elegant style.

Purpose — what does that mean? Here, there are several options:

• Who will wear the jewelry;

• When the piece will be worn.

Craftsmen offer series for men, women, unisex, and even children. Regarding the occasion — the collections include options for both everyday wear and evening events. Of course, this mainly applies to women's models, as men don't usually change their jewelry for every outfit or occasion, instead choosing one piece that suits all looks and is appropriate in any situation.

And finally, the price — on Zlato’s website, chains are offered in various price ranges, so it’s easy to find an affordable piece — whether for yourself or as a gift.
