An omega chain, also called an omega hoop, is a very special form of a necklace, as it is not made like other chains and also looks completely different. This jewellery does not have the links typical of chains, which interlock to create the overall appearance. The meaning of the chain's name can be derived from the Greek sign Omega. It stands for the beginning and the end of a thing, which fits perfectly with this almost endless-looking chain. As already mentioned, the omega chain stands out from other types of necklaces due to its purist look and special way of making it. Here, the chain is not made up of interlocking links, but rather of tightly woven individual parts that are attached to an inner net. The metal plates are arranged in a round shape from the beginning, so the omega chain always keeps its oval shape. The advantage of this is that it fits perfectly to the neck and does not get knotted. It also makes the chain very robust. This special production requires a lot of craftsmanship and due to the compactness, a little more material is needed than for other types of chains. That is why omega chains made of high-quality gold alloys are also in the upper price segment. The appearance of the omega chain is also impressive: the closely interwoven chain links make it look as if it has been cast from one piece and give it a beautiful shiny finish. As these chains are very robust, they can form a strong base for different jewellery pendants, but depending on the particular model, they can also be worn without additional ornamentation.
