Both contemporary machine-making techniques and conventional handcrafting techniques can be used to create rope chains. In the past, expert jewelry makers would painstakingly twist and braid tiny bits of wire into the appropriate rope-like design to create handmade rope chains. While many contemporary producers utilize automated gear to produce rope chains, several luxury jewelry firms still use handmade processes. Rope chains created by machines can be produced more rapidly and effectively, and their quality and look are typically more constant. These devices feed wire through a sequence of rollers and dies that twist and form it into the appropriate chain pattern. Machine-made rope chains are becoming more and more popular for many commercial jewelry applications because of their remarkable level of detail and precision, which is made possible by technological breakthroughs.
