<p>The method involves a length of wire mesh or woven wire type of "fabric" of a width and length corresponding to the proportions of the jewelry chain to be created is provided whereon a series of hollow link sections are received such that the interior surfaces of the links surround the mesh. The links are arranged in end-to-end abutting relationship upon the mesh until the length of chain desired is reached. Upper and lower die members are brought into contact with the preformed chain and forced thereagainst with a magnitude of pressure and for a duration of time sufficient to deform the links and bring the inner surfaces thereof into at least partial engagement with the mesh. The contour of the operating surfaces of the upper and lower dies may be of any desired ornamentation, as the finished chain conforms to, and at least one of the working surfaces of the upper and/or lower dies is provided with an ornamenting pattern which forms a corresponding embossed expression in at least part of one surface of the chain.</p> |
