The Byzantine chain according to Fasti

The BZ Bizantina automatic machine offers the basic requirements of great reliability and extremely high precision needed in the manufacture of ancient and complex Byzantine chain, which originated in the 5th century A.D. from the creative inspiration of Byzantium goldsmiths. The more than ten steps required to chain together the 14 links that form a finished section are considered the highest manual operation in goldsmithing performed by generations of apprentices, craftsmen and professionals. The care, reliability and meticulousness with which Fasti manufactures the machine, as well as its fully mechanical design, make this model the only automation currently possible for making Byzantine chain in a range of wire diameters from 0.40 mm to 0.80 mm. Suitable for processing gold, silver, solid or hollow wire, it is also available in a laser version for welding the pairs of links that make up the refined and complex Byzantine chain design. The silver and fashion jewelry sector will now be able to entrust the BZ Bizantina machine with the production of this chain model that otherwise could only be produced by hand.
