The weaving technique and design of gold bracelets
The weaving technique and design of gold bracelets integrate traditional skills with modern aesthetics. They not only reflect the flexible texture of gold but also showcase rich cultural connotations and fashionable styles.
Weaving technique
Four-strand rope weaving method
Select two jade threads of different colors (such as yellow and red), wrap gold thread around the middle and tie two snake knots to fix it. Then, make a four-strand rope.
During the weaving process, it is necessary to maintain uniform tensile force to ensure that the knots fit closely together.
After the length is sufficient, tie a snake knot again to fix it. At the end, you can tie a single-thread button knot and add a coil to adjust the length to enhance the flexibility of wearing.
Gold wire weaving technique
Taking advantage of the malleability of gold, gold bars are stretched into extremely fine gold threads (such as 0.3 millimeters in diameter), and then hand-woven into smooth and soft necklaces and bracelets.
During the weaving process, the gold thread is closely wound around the thin iron rod to form a hollow gold chain, which is both tough and elastic, and has a smooth touch like silk.
Filigree technique
Made of pure gold, through a series of complex manual techniques such as rolling, weaving, weaving and winding, the gold wires are woven into delicate patterns.
The details of the work are subtle, transparent and warm, perfectly presenting the essence of filigree craftsmanship and conveying the elegance and dignity of court art.

Innovative Design and Technological breakthroughs
Gold knot weaving technique: It is formed by self-winding a single strand of gold thread to create a spiral pattern. The jeweler's technique is precise. After cutting it into small sections, they are welded onto the gold edge of the bracelet. No trace of the joint can be seen from the outside, endowing the bracelet with depth and luster.
Gold wire braided flower necklace: Hand-woven by goldsmiths from gold wires with a diameter of 0.3 millimeters, it is tightly wound around a special thin iron rod to form a hollow gold chain. It is tough and smooth, and has a certain degree of elasticity.
