Chain necklaces
Production and online sale of 925‰ silver chains

Chains represent the most appreciated and most widespread type of timeless necklace in the world. They are a loved jewel, worn by everyone without distinction. They are a source of inspiration not only for goldsmiths but for artists, designers and stylists, too.

By definition, they are strings of metal, made up of a series of closed rings joined together. These rings, which in technical terms are called links, can have different shapes, sizes and structures that define various models of chains.

History and evolutions

References to chain necklaces can be dated back to the most ancient civilizations such as the Egyptians, which stood out among the others for having great skill in making jewels.

During the Middle Ages and later in the Renaissance, chains were worn as a display of economic power.

In the mid-eighteenth century, in France, they began to be considered real jewels, revisited with details and shapes typical of Art Dèco up to the present day with significant dimensions and bright colors.

Meaning and types of chain

The chain has been identified over time as a symbol of loyalty, devotion and sometimes slavery.

Being able to connect, tighten and support it embodies a profound meaning related to the concept of the circle.

Tofay, various models of chains are made: the Venetian, the twisted serpentine, the forzatina, the rolò, popcorn, Korean, the alternating chain and many others; they are characterized by different thicknesses and resistances depending on the use to be made of them. They can also have smooth or diamond meshes.
