Gold Jewelry Designs - 9 Common Chain Types

Exclusive summary about Gold Jewelry Designs by Rolf Joho

Here are the different chain types you will typically see in gold necklaces:

Bar and Bead: Bar-shaped or round, rectangular links are interlinked with golden bead links to make the bar and bead pattern.

Box: Tiny box-shaped links are connected to make the box chain. This chain type is best worn with a pendant.

Cable: Oval links are connected alternately, giving the chain a classic appearance.

Curb: Flattened, circular links are connected to make the curb chain. This chain type is best worn by men.

Fox: Two strands of gold are bound together to give this chain its braided look.

Herringbone: This chain is often worn without a pendant because there is no need for one! It looks intricately woven and lends a rich, lustrous look to any wardrobe.

Marine: Oval links with either a bar or a post centered vertically between each link are interlinked to make this chain type, which looks just like a standard oval chain except that it's more intricate-looking.

Rolo: Simple but stunning are two words that describe the rolo type. This chain is made of circular links that are as broad as they are sturdy.

Rope: As implied by the name, this chain looks just like a rope. It's best worn with a pendant.

Creating a Gold Jewelry Design

Gold jewelry has been loved and worn by people since ancient times. Gold comes in several colors including the traditional yellow gold, white gold, and rose gold. The quality of gold is determined by karats with 24 karat gold being 100% pure. Gold will not dull, tarnish or oxidize. Every gold jewelry design should speak for itself and say something about the designer. Making a custom designed piece of gold jewelry can be an exquisite gift that is creative and thoughtful. You can design gold earrings, rings, bracelets, necklaces and many other unique pieces of jewelry.
