The segments of an Omega are parallel to each other and run across the width of the necklace. The assemblage is flexible because the links are independent of one another and are supported by the flexible mesh substrate. In this fashion, attractive jewelry items are crafted that seem rigid, but are flexible & thus appealing to the wearer.

This is the distinctive characteristic of the omega chain. It is composed of metal plates (that appear like the links in a chain) instead of real links. In this sense, omega chains are not chains at all. They are pseudo chains or false chains. Nonetheless, this unique and unusual weave creates a gorgeous chain like design. It is used to create trendy jewelry accessories like necklaces and bracelets.

This chain has a greater tensile strength as compared to conventional chains composed of links because it is thicker and also because of the way its disks fit together on the underlying mesh. Then again an omega chain is not as flexible as a traditional link chain.

Omega chains, which are fairly strong, are also easy to damage because of limited flexibility. You have to fawn over these fantastic fashion accessories. Take care that the chain does not snag into your garments. Take off the chain before sleeping. The chain’s disks can bend the wrong way and kink the chain. And the chain is not easy to mend. Take proper care and your Omega chain will last you a lifetime.

Another distinguishing feature of this chain is that it is a flat chain. The flat design offers a greater surface area to incident light for reflection. An omega is given a high degree of polish and designed to capture light at every opportunity. This gives the chain a rich feel and an incredible shine. Omega chains make eye-catching jewelry pieces because of this ability to reflect light.
Variations of this flat design are also available nowadays. There are round Omegas which are full circles, dome Omegas which are half circles & flat Omegas which are essentially flattened omega chains. All three types look very similar from the top view. Wide Omegas are good to wear alone as well as with a pendant. All Omega chains retain their shape as a circle or an oval. They do not drape like a chain on you.
