Jewelers see three basic types - these Bismarck, yakir i shell. It is also fantasy - a special kind in which dozens of other techniques are intertwined.
In total, we collected 31 types of weaving . It would be possible to expand this list, but we have selected only the most popular types of wicker.
It is advisable to get to know each of them in more detail, so that it will be easier for you to choose your ideal lapel.
Bismarck
The name is known to be similar to the name of Otto von Bismarck, who became famous for his friendly character, reliability and self-efficacy. The jewelers poured all the characteristic designs of the German Chancellor into the lantern. The weaving technique with many rows can look both massive and elegant.
The wickerwork is more beautiful, but it is more flexible and there are many options for wickerwork. Depending on the shape of the welts and the weaving technique, there are 8 other subspecies. And those that are suitable including men’s models and, in particular, women’s models.
Flat bismarck
Classic openwork wickerwork, the sides of the two are twisted in a spiral, pressing against one another.
Podviyny Bismarck
In front of the classic flat lanyard, three turns of a spiral are drawn.
Arabic Bismarck
Two or three rounded edges are joined in pairs in thick wickerwork, which resembles Arabic script.
String
The weaving is smoother, and the edges of the walls flow into one another. With this technique, you can create a beautiful and voluminous lantern with a small vase.
Royal Bismarck
Composite folding wickerwork with spiral-like strips, which are soldered one to the other. The baby comes out beautiful and voluminous, and the little one is smooth and snug.
Python
This type of wicker is also called “American” and “cardinal”. The lanyard is formed from three long rows of openwork weaving, which are connected one after another. The design of the impressions, which can be guessed at least as quickly as the python pieces.
Byzantine wickerwork or “fox tail”
Such wickerwork can be used on massive bracelets and laces. It is cut with a folding visor with straps that are connected in different directions. It’s not surprising that they still call Bismarck’s “younger brother” - a similar, but still different, technique.
Spikelet or Celtic vuzol
Similar to Byzantine, but the sides are straightened to one side and the V-like bow resembles an ear of wheat.
This type of wicker lanyard forms an extremely attractive decoration. If you carelessly save or wear a bismarck, it is almost impossible to get lost.
Double Bismarck
By soldering two chains located side by side into one whole, a wide decoration is obtained that has a chic appearance and has increased strength; however, this manufacturing method is used mainly for bracelets.
The form of chain weaving is another opportunity to add variety.
Flat bismarck
, unlike the classic oval, it turns out wider. The beauty of the weaving is achieved through large shiny edges, which visually make the chain more massive.
- can rather be called a men's weave, very similar to anchor weaving. With more weight, it looks quite modest, but it has volume compared to its flat counterpart.
Round
– suitable for women, as it looks more delicate and sophisticated, as can be seen in the photo.
Yakirne wattle
The braiding method effectively resembles the anchor lanyard: oval, round or rectangular shaped slats are connected to each other perpendicularly, creating a single thread. I'll go to the sea mooring lanyard for anchor.
Yarn wicker is a classic and never goes out of fashion. However, it is good for both women and men who are more sensitive to the size of the lapel. This type of wicker is divided into several types depending on the shape of the wedge and the joining technique. Let's take a look at the most popular ones.
Suspended anchor
All the same traditional wickerwork, but with some minor additions - wicker oval straps.
Rollo abo Chopard
The weave was named after the Swiss brand of anniversary and decoration, which pioneered the fashion for perfectly round breasts. Rollo is similar to the traditional anchor type, the same type is ring-shaped.
Due to the elegant simplicity and lightness of the design, the roll serves as a harmonious base for a pendant or pendant.
Podviyne rollo or “garibaldi”
A collection of names in honor of the Italian revolutionary friends, activists of the free movement in Italy. The couple was respected by the standard of homeland unity, even though the stinks were always shoulder to shoulder.
The “Garibaldi” wickerwork is divided into two ring-shaped joints, where one has a larger diameter, and the other has a smaller one. A small strap is woven into the middle of a large ring, so the lanyard comes out openwork, but at the same time it is smart and reliable.
Cobra abo giotto
Lightweight type of wicker, which is represented by a miniature rollo with a lamel diameter of less than 5 mm.
Behind its outward appearance, the cobra guesses the little moth. Up to one sling, attach several other slats, jumping over 2-3 slats. This results in a piece of twisted wickerwork that can be worn both as a stand-alone decoration and as a base for a pendant.
Venetian wattle or “box”
They call it Venetian because jewelers first began to work in Venice for a hundred years. Today, one of the most popular types is the wicker lantern.
The four-sided shaped straps effectively form a square box and are reliably sealed using the internal joining technique. Perfect symmetry from whichever side you look!
Anchor weaves
The anchor type of weaving is rightfully considered one of the most popular in the world. The reliability of this technology lies in the fact that the links are made in the form of an anchor chain. They can have either oval or any other shape, using perpendicular alignment. Such chains are suitable for everyone, regardless of gender and age. Anchor links often have the same length, but there are also chains with links of different lengths that alternate with each other.
Double or triple anchor weaving consists of two or three anchor chains, the links of which are soldered together. This arrangement gives the decoration volume and solidity.
Rollo (belzer). A special feature of this luxurious weave is the round shape of the links. Also, for helping to popularize this style, it is called “Chopard” in honor of the Chopard fashion house.
Curtain (Giotto) is a weaving in which the chain consists of thin links of large diameter, somewhat reminiscent of curtain rings. Jewelry with this twist is self-sufficient and does not require addition of pendants or charms. In different variations of this product, the links can be single, double or triple.
The marine subtype of vitya is distinguished by a small partition inside the link itself. It adds strength to the chains when worn.
The Venetian variety is distinguished by the square shape of the links, in which a certain amount of material is added at the corners for strength. Such weaving can only be entrusted to experienced jewelers who have considerable experience in their field. A compound can have from one to three elements.
Cord twisting is an original subtype that looks like a cord, slightly twisted with steps in the form of waves. This effect is achieved by soldering several links through a certain number of elements.
The Singapore type of weaving has not lost its popularity for a very long time, because it has the ability to glow very brightly when exposed to sunlight. The peculiarity of this twist is that its links are slightly curved. Thanks to this, the factor chains have an elegant scrolled appearance. Such delightful products are suitable for both sophisticated women and serious men.
Armor wickerwork
A basic design that has no variations, but is differentiated from others by its characteristic flat shape. The slats are smooth and sanded on the front and inside sides. Due to its smoothness, weaving is also called stitch, although depending on the type of joining of the slats, the technique is more reminiscent of yarn.
Contrary to its name, wattle does not wear down to the shell. Rather, this type of jointed lapels is like chain mail - the armor of middle-class people. The method, when one smooth strap is superimposed on another, forms a thick, reliable and elegant strap.
The name sounds brutal and one might assume that wattle is more human. Different designs allow you to find suitable models for both women and men. Openwork armored wickerwork is often used as a reliable basis for a pendant. The lance looks impressive and is like an independent embellishment - the gold and silver edges shimmer beautifully against the light.
Jewelers see dozens of types of armored wicker, as well as a few of the most popular ones.
Gurmet
Practical flat wickerwork with oval slats. The technique with a suspended row of stripes is called parallel weave gurmet, and the technique with a heart-shaped strip is called “cordino” gurmet. Both options are well suited as a basis for pendants and pendants.
Rhombus
Wickerwork is easy to recognize by its diamond-shaped stripes with rounded edges. There are double and triple variations.
Diamond is one of the most popular types. Such a lance can be worn in pairs with a pendant or okremo.
Figaro abo Cartier
Fashionable Booth Since the 19th century, Cartier has been producing branded lanterns with a wicker “figaro” look, and this is why this embellishment has become popular and recognized. Over time, the brand began to be called this type of wicker.
It is formed from smooth, rich and rounded edges, which rhythmically draw attention to each other. Therefore, the embellishment is complemented by a label with marked wickerwork for a number of strips of drawn-out and rounded shapes. This can be seen as 1+1 or 3+2.
Persian chain mail
The volume of wickerwork is made of rounded edges, which can always be hand-wrought by the master without the need for constant soldering methods. The little one can effectively guess the average military armor. The straps fit tightly one to the other and in one structural element there can be 3, 4 or 6 rings. The specifics of the weaving technique on the waistband are designated as 5 in 1, 4 in 1, etc.
Love
Fantastic literally woven wickerwork, heart-shaped straps.
Ravlik
Classic wickerwork, with decorative stripes. The spiral baby on the skin of the lance resembles the shell of a mollusk.
Nonna
The wickerwork is fine, the pieces are joined in pairs - a small one in the middle of a large one. The oval straps look like loops and are connected to the crotch fasteners.
The same name is “maglia della nonna”, which translated from Italian means “grandmother’s wattle”.
Turtle
Wickerwork from pairs of rings in several rows with intricate decorative plates. The little one looks like a turtle shell.
Wearing a lancet as a personal embellishment. However, it is necessary to ensure that the wicker is worn on the open skin, having collected the hair, otherwise the lanyard may become unstuck on the fabric and get lost in the hair.
Tsar
The wickerwork and the pieces are joined in a checkerboard order. Laconic and can become an excellent alternative to Bismarck. Suitable for men, and in miniature design – for women.
Singapore
The torsion of the straps is slightly bent. This design is loved for the effective light pattern on the metal surface. Lanzyuzhok has gained respect from the pendant or as an independent embellishment.
Cords or lance-snake
The type of wickerwork is smooth, round, empty in the middle. It is ideal for a fancy pendant.
The cords are cut behind the shape of tightly connected stripes. There is also a type of flat cord, for example, Montreal, the blades are more drawn out and stretched behind the type of anchor braid.
Armored twist
Shell type is a general category of elegant weaves used in chain making. The products are distinguished by their particularly expensive appearance, because the elements are connected in one plane, due to which they have high strength. Such jewelry is popular among both men and women.
Figaro (Cartier) is a type of twisting in which the elements have different sizes and alternate in a certain sequence. In the classic design, three round links are replaced by one elongated one, but options can vary depending on wishes. The chains have an original appearance and are highly durable.
Rhombo is a very impressive type, which is distinguished by the exquisite shape of its constituent elements in the form of rhombuses. With this weaving, one link can have up to three diamonds, which makes the product even more reliable. Such jewelry will be a worthy adornment for both men and women of any age.
Nona (Nonna) in such products with elegant craftsmanship, small links are located in the middle of larger ones and are connected in a simple pattern. The name comes from Spanish, which means “grandmother’s weave.”
Snake (snake, string). This elegant type of curling is one of the most popular all over the world. This name was not taken lightly, because such chains, like noble snakes, fall on the necks of their owners and involuntarily protect their peace. The weaving is often based on armor-type weaving, but the distance between the elements is compacted as much as possible and the product is given shape. In the classic design, it is made round, but if desired, you can choose oval or rectangular.
Love is a very delicate type of chain, it creates the impression of a row of hearts intertwined one after another. Such decorations have a very neat appearance and are best suited for a romantic gift. A chain with such a pattern makes the features of its owner more sophisticated and elegant.
Snail (paperclip, double spiral) is an original twist, reminiscent of a corresponding stationery item. Each element of such a chain also looks like a cozy snail house.
Fantasy Lancers
Fantasy wickerwork is created by a jeweler based on basic designs. Thanks to various decorative elements and techniques for joining stripes, the master weaves together beautiful and precious decoration.
Fancy wickerwork looks impressive on its own, without the addition of pendants or pendants. Let's take a look at the most popular ones.
French braid
It consists of two or three smooth lances braided into a braid. Often made from metals of contrasting colors.
Troyanda
An openwork wickerwork, where the leather structural element is folded into a ring into a small piece, which makes a flower. The lantzyuzhok is even feminine and tall.
Lamellar
Wickerwork made from decorative plates with internal connections.
Perlina abo namisto
Lantsyuzhok, a skin strip that looks like a small bag (namistin) soldered to the base. For greater safety, there is a fastening in the middle of the skin, its ends are sealed with a spring fastener, which compresses the edges and reliably removes them.
Love even in jewelry
If you don’t know which gold jewelry to choose, then feel free to purchase a chain with “Love” weaving. Such an original item will help the modern woman stand out from the crowd. This openwork weave is truly a ladies' accessory. Why did it get the name “Love”? The master carefully connects rounded loops, very similar to small hearts. This is where the name comes from - from the miniature links of hearts. Their connection is so neat that the products seem very light and elegant.
Quite often, jewelry with heart-shaped links is given to loved ones as a confirmation of their feelings. Positive reviews indicate that they are purchased by romantic natures.
What types of weaving are suitable for women and men
Visually, you can distinguish a woman’s ankle strap from a human one by the fineness of the weave and the size of the straps, as well as unisex models that fit both.
- Human lances with great bows and brutal wickerwork. These types include a large number of markings, a massive rhombus, as well as wide armored wattle.
- The legs of the lantern are thin and delicate. Ce Nonna, French braid, Venetian braid.
- Lantsyuzhki - unisex . These include minimalist types - classic acorn, rollo, jute, spikelet, bismarck python.
When choosing a male or female lance, aspects such as the size and thickness of the species may be important.
For women's models, the typical length is 40 to 70 cm or short - about 30 cm. For men - 50 to 75 cm. When choosing the size of the embellishment, focus on the size and girth of your neck. Lanzyuzhok is not guilty of being too long - he is not handy and looks stupid. A short one creates a suffocating effect and will look like a necklace (don’t be fooled by the choker - that’s a different decoration!).
An overly thin lanyard on a man's neck looks as empty as a thin lanyard on a woman. There are mistakes if you really want such an effect, but this just confirms the rule.
It would be nice to know about the features of locks. The smell depends not only on the type of seal, but also on the reliability and strength of the victor. A carabiner is most often installed on large lanyards, and a spring lock is installed on thin ones. If you have long nails, the carabiner will be easy to grasp, but then it will definitely show off the moisture of the great pendant. And the springel lock is used for thinner lanyards and for the lightest suspensions.
What should a secure lock be like?
Having decided which chain weaving you like best, do not forget to pay attention to the lock. By making the jewelry heavier with a pendant, you proportionally increase the load on all its elements .
A weak locking mechanism may not withstand this. Therefore, when purchasing, you need to compare several products - so the difference between the designs will become clearly visible. Preference should be given to the tightest of the fasteners. But even such precautions may be in vain if the chain is subject to active exploitation. Constant movements inevitably loosen the lock, shortening its service life. To avoid this, jewelers recommend having several pieces in your collection and alternating them from time to time. For example, one of the items can be worn during the day, with miniature and light pendants, and for more elegant and large evening pendants, it is worth buying a chain with wide links and durable weaving.
How to choose a lanyard according to the type of wicker
From now on, you can focus on the taste, or good luck, with a handful of tips at hand.
- When choosing a lanyard for a pendant, choose the simplest possible weave. Make sure that the straps easily penetrate through the opening of the pendant. In the core of the basic model, snake cords, braided wire, and diamond are used under the suspension. More colorful models can be worn as an independent embellishment.
- Adjust the proportions between the embellishment and the lace. A too small pendant on a massive lanyard will look inappropriate, and a large pendant on a fine wicker can deform the lanyards and damage the lanyard.
- Pay attention to the brilliance of the jewelry product: the color must be equal, the adhesions are neat and do not interfere with their own color. As the decoration comes from the inserts, they must be firmly fixed in the frame and not clogged with glue. A lanyard made of faceless elements: all lanyards are guilty of easily collapsing, like in fancy wickerwork. You will find such embellishments in our catalogue.
It’s important to know how it’s prepared. The method of preparation also determines the value of decoration, the flexibility of design and, most importantly, the price.
The grace of women's gold chains

Methods for preparing lantsyuzhki
There are three methods for preparing lancets and each has its advantages and disadvantages.
- I'll do it by hand.
The jeweler creates the straps by hand and welds them together with a wicker strap. The work is compact and foldable, so the cost of embellishment of manual work is significant. If the connection of the lanks is always hopeless and reliable, then this method is so self-requiring.
- Automated.
Thanks to software control, the automatic (or conveyor) method allows you to produce highly complex designs. The main robot is sculpted by a machine, and the jeweler-operator follows the sculpting programs, which significantly speeds up the time for preparing the product.
Shearing blanks are passed through a special machine and a lance of knitted elements is formed. The job of the jeweler is to cut the wicker into the required pieces and solder the clasps. Using this method, you can create both sophisticated thin laces and fashionable massive embellishments with large lanyards.
- Stamping method.
The technology for preparing lancets is simple and straightforward. Here the ready-made lanks are prepared to be mixed together and sealed with a press. The stamping method significantly speeds up the manufacturing process and reduces waste. Today this method is the most popular. With additional stamping, jewelry and embellishments are made from precious metals. Although the method is less reliable, either manual or automatic weaving, the clear material is resistant to damage and wears for a long time.
