Beauty of Byzantine Chains & Gold filled chains
If you are looking for a unique design in chain then you must take a look at the Byzantine weave chains. These chains are also known as birdcage, fool’s dilemma and idiot box because of their interesting weave design. Especially popular among women these chains are available only in two metals, namely, gold and platinum. However, this could be used in combination with different metals in order to bring out a bright and shiny luster. The first Byzantine design was used on the rugs that were woven with the use of two harnesses. From there, the jewelry makers took the inspiration to use that design for chains. Thus, just like its design the Byzantine chain has a very unique and interesting historical value as well.
The Byzantine designs are made by using a bunch of jump rings tied together in a folded back and forth manner. Every individual knot is then opened at the end in order to tie all the separate knots together as one. This creates an intriguing and beautiful pattern that makes such byzantine chains different from the other commonly available chains. This design can also be used for making small rings; however, it can prove to be a little tedious process as the size of the ring is small as compared to long neck chains.
One can easily make a choice between traditional yellow gold, a much modern white gold or perhaps a combination of the two. Depending upon the choice and the financial budget, a person may make a choice of the metal of the chain. Sporting a Byzantine chain is a mark of wealth and affluence as only rich people can afford to wear such an expensive piece of jewelry. The price of the chain would depend upon the selection of metal. If one chooses to buy the chain in yellow gold it will be lesser in price as compared to white gold while if the person opts to buy it in platinum then the chain would be priced very high. Therefore, it is considered a symbol of prosperity and wealth and also signifies an eye for quality and great taste.
Due to the reason that these gold filled chains are made from fourteen carat of gold and such intricate and exquisite designs are usually made for people of King’s designation, these Byzantine chains are also referred to as King Chains. Certainly, these beautiful chains can make anyone look no less than a king.
