The Venetian necklace for the man
chains have again been very popular with men for some years now. As fashion becomes more and more individual, many men are increasingly interested in setting accents with matching accessories or emphasizing their own elegant style. Chains with or without pendants therefore offer a very good opportunity to put the body in the right light, as men usually wear the chains on their skin. The Venetian necklace is a classic among the necklace types and has been known and loved for decades.
About the chain shape Venetian necklace
As already mentioned, the shape of the Venetian necklace has been around for a long time. The necklace, which by the way is also available for ladies and for children, takes its name from its origin: it was first made in Venice in Italy. Typical for the shape of the necklace is the arrangement of the chain links, which follow a certain pattern, the Venetian pattern. The striking feature of the chain links is their rectangular shape in combination with rather high side walls. With every movement of the chain during wearing, the individual chain links shift, which gives the men's chain a very interesting look. If the individual links of the chain move, they simultaneously cover the otherwise existing hollow space between the individual chain links. Thanks to this very interesting appearance the Venetian necklace is made to be worn without a pendant, which makes it very interesting especially for men. In most cases, the necklace is made of 925 silver, but it is also available in precious gold in white or yellow.
Necklaces and more in the story
The history of men's chains goes back much further than just to Italy, of course. The first pieces of jewellery were created thousands of years ago in antiquity. After the first gold deposits were discovered, it was the ruling class in ancient Rome who hung themselves with partly large-sized gold jewellery and thus presented their claim to power to the people. As gold jewellery was rather coarse to produce at that time, the lords and ladies as well as the children of the ruling families had to bear quite a burden. By the way, this is also the reason why arm jewellery at that time usually had to be worn on the upper arm. Only much later, with the emergence of the goldsmiths' guild, was it possible for craftsmen to produce much smaller and more delicate pieces of jewellery, and various new processes and manufacturing techniques also contributed to this. As a result, chains and rings, arm rings and other gold jewellery became much lighter, which was a considerable relief for men and their families. The emergence of the jewellery craft and the many other guilds had another effect, by the way: for the first time, even the wealthy middle-class citizens could afford to buy gold jewellery, thus ending the ruling class' dominance of the jewellery. In the baroque era, jewellery making experienced a real high point, because thanks to the flourishing of many royal courts, they could afford and commissioned this precious jewellery. The jewellers produced necklaces and rings, earrings and more not only from gold but also decorated with precious stones and the royal courts outbid each other when the kings and their court visited each other. Many of the pieces of jewellery and their forms from the baroque period still exist today, like the Venetian chains made of silver and gold.
Handing over a Venetian necklace as a noble gift
A necklace made of precious silver or gold is a unique gift for men. If you are looking for a gift for a loved one or another close person, a necklace in the style of the Venetian models is always a good choice. When giving a gift, however, care should be taken to ensure that the person is really close. The reason for this is that in earlier times it was common that jewellery was only given as gifts to very close persons in the form of the fiancé(es). In those days, the only possible occasion for jewellery gifts was an engagement or wedding. Since this tradition still exists in many regions today, this aspect should be taken into account accordingly. Besides the engagement or wedding mentioned above, birthday, Christmas or other occasions can also be considered as an occasion for a necklace as a gift. The necklace is best placed in a small jewelry box lined with soft silk or velvet. After closing the jewelry box, you might loop a ribbon around the gift and pass it on with a few kind words.
Venetian necklace properly care and store
If a necklace is worn every day or at least regularly, it is unfortunately not impossible that dust and dirt and even sweat can clog the chain over time. The result is a gold that does not shine as beautifully as it did in the beginning. If the men's necklace is to keep its decorative and new look for many years, it is therefore necessary that the jewellery is cleaned at regular intervals. If you want to be absolutely sure in this context, hand the jewellery over to a jeweller of your trust, who will then clean it professionally. An alternative are the cleaning cloths for precious metal which can be purchased everywhere in the trade today. Please proceed as follows when caring for your necklace: After buying the cloth, take it out of its cover and spread it out in front of you, preferably on the table. Place the open chain smoothly on the cloth and close it. Then gently rub the chain with the cloth for a few minutes and then open the cloth again. You will now see the men's chain as fresh and clean as on the first day, while the cleaning cloth shows slight traces of dust and dirt. These have come off the chain due to the gentle rubbing and the presence of a special solution in the cloth. You can repeat this procedure over and over again, but after a few times you should replace the cloth with a new one. To store the men's chain, it is also a good idea to place it in a suitable box when not in use. There are many different caskets available in stores today, so that you can even choose one to match the interior. Alternatively, the Venetian necklace for men can also be stored in the small box in which the necklace was found when you bought it or gave it as a present.
