The assortment of men's silver chains for wearing around the neck is huge. The stores sell products that differ from each other not only in weaving, but also in length parameters. On this criterion it is important to pay attention when choosing the best option. An inappropriate length can visually distort the wearer's appearance.

Correctly selected elements will decorate a masculine image, make it more presentable and solid. You should not decorate with pendants (especially large ones) too long silver chains. Choosing such components, the buyer runs the risk of spending money on jewelry that looks ridiculous and lurid.

Men's hand chains are often made thicker and coarser than graceful women's products. Most often, gentlemen choose brutal options that look more severe and solid.

Men's silver chains differ not only in the rules of wearing or design, but also type of weaving. Let's consider what they are and how they differ from each other.

This is one of the most simple and widespread types of weaving. Chains of this design look good on both men and women. Anchor chains are made in such a simple way. This is where the name of weaving comes from.

The links of the chains of anchor weaving are located perpendicular to each other... Their location is consistent. This pattern has several varieties. It all depends on the presence of special crossbars in the inner part of the links. The size of the links also influences a lot. In the classic version of anchor weaving, these elements are distinguished by an oval structure.

This is one of the many varieties of anchor weaving described above. Rollo chains differ from classic products in that have a special shape of the links. They are rounded.

Men's chains with cord weave look interesting. This is also a subspecies of anchor execution. In such copies several links are fixed on one, "jumping" simultaneously over adjacent links... From the side, the chains with this weave appear twisted.

With this option of weaving the chain are made up of small rectangles or squares. Sequential attachment takes place. Thanks to this solution, from the outside it may seem that the product is assembled from small cubes.

Nice and attractive weave, but more suitable for women than men. They do it like this: large links are connected to each other using small elements that are located in their inner part.

This weaving option provides arrangement of all links in a single plane... Grinding is carried out on one side and on the other. As a result, a very beautiful shine is achieved.

With this type of weaving first, weaving of small links are fastened together. There can be 2, 3 or 4 of them - this parameter is not so important. After that, they are attached to one link, which is longer.

Weaving of this variety is one of the most popular among men. Neck chains and bracelets in this design look expensive and presentable. Also weaving Bismarck is characterized by high strength and reliability, since it provides for a more complex connection of links... Due to this, products can seem massive.

The weave called "fox tail" is a "brother" of Bismarck. In most cases, it is used in the manufacture of large and thick chains. It is a robust and reliable solution because the links are held together very tightly.

Picking up a worthy silver chain it is important to consider its size... This applies to products for both the neck and the hand. If you ignore this parameter, you can purchase jewelry that will look ridiculous and disharmonious on a man.

When looking for a suitable chain for wearing around your neck, you need pay attention to its length. A properly selected product will look neat and stylish. Ornaments are worn under the very neck, the length of which is 40-45 cm... Chains with a length of 50-55 cm... Such options can be safely supplemented with pendants. If you want to add extreme details to your look, then you can choose a silver chain, the length of which reaches 65 and more centimeters. These options are more suitable for tall people with a large physique.

It is equally important to consider the size of bracelets made of silver. The jewelry should fit well on the hand. The chain should hang easily and freely around the wrist, but at the same time not fall off it. You cannot buy such silver bracelets that fit too tightly to the hand. In this case, the accessory will squeeze blood vessels and prevent free blood circulation. As a result, a person may experience hand numbness.

The chains that are worn on the hand are produced with the following size parameters:

• S - with this size, the length of the bracelet is 15-16 cm;
• M - 17-18 cm;
• L - 19-20 cm;
• XL - 21-22 cm.

• Size, length... The first thing to look for when choosing the perfect accessory is its size. Choose a neck chain in such a way that it makes the image more attractive and solid, rather than funny and comical. The longest and most bulky options are the best solution for large and tall men. The same goes for bracelets. They can be dense and massive, but should not put pressure on the hand.

• Material quality... Be sure to pay attention to the material from which the accessory is made. There must be a sample on the product.
