You the beginning jeweler, or have just decided to join at a leisure fine – art of creation of jewelry. The most widespread and popular of them, of course, chains. There is no such person who did not put on such ornament at least once in life. Independently to weave the most beautiful chain, it is necessary to learn elementary weaving at first.
Instruction
1. The simplest weaving of chain "link in link". To create such chain you will need to perform three main procedures: to make links, then to give them the form and after it, to weave them into chain. At first solder the ends of links and then begin to weave them into chain.
2. Add links on one, they have to have one focus. Pass each new link through previous. Spin chain in one direction.
3. Observe compliance of diameter of wire to the size of loop and density of pattern. Do not use very fine wire if you cast it over big crossbar. Otherwise you will weave too fragile chain. And if, on the contrary, you use thick wire for normal crossbar, then the chain will difficult spin.
4. Do not use wire with a diameter less than 24 calibers when weaving, when bending it can be deformed. Use the twenty fourth caliber, only when you cast such wire over crossbar of very small diameter. The chain "link in link" has openwork weaving and if you weave it inaccurately and inaccurately, loops will be uneven, and it will look carelessly.
5. Alloy chain in special conditions. Heat link so that metal in connection point has melted and has begun to flow. It has to fill space between the ends of link. If you make everything correctly, then the link which will be continuous loop from uniform metal without place of joint has to turn out. Such link will maintain loading when weaving.
6. Before you braid links in chain, give them the form. Stretch, squeeze and bend them until they become ideal.
7. One more kind of weaving – double chain "link in link". That to create it follow the following recommendations. In perpendicularly the located compressed links, add link through the last and penultimate segments of the increased chain.
8. As a result you will create strong chain with dense ornament. It will be both beautiful and durable. Double chain one of the most often used weaving options "link in link". It was made in old times, she has not lost the relevance and today.
9. Process of weaving of chain "link in link" is simpler, than at production of other products. During creation of chain "the link in link" is very easy to correct deviations.
