Why ItaliaChains Has the Best Moissanite Tennis Chains (And Why Yours Keeps Flipping)
If you've ever worn a men's tennis chain that flips more than a politician during election week, chances are it didn't come from ItaliaChains. Because let's be honest — the moissanite tennis chain might be one of the shiniest pieces in men's jewelry, but not all of them are created equal. Especially when 90% of what's out there is mass-produced in China, with stones that fall out faster than your trust in gas station sushi. Enter: — the real ones behind the best handmade Italian tennis chains, made from solid 925 sterling silver, set with VVS D-color moissanite, and polished smooth like a glass of aged limoncello. Let's start with the obvious: these chains are actually made in Italy. Not 'Italy-inspired,' not 'Italy-designed,' and definitely not 'ships from Italy but made in who-knows-where.' ItaliaChains handcrafts their moissanite tennis chains in Arezzo, Italy, the jewelry capital of the country. Each link is carefully engineered and polished to lie flat and smooth on the neck — no flipping, twisting, or awkward tangling. Because what's the point of an iced-out chain if the back of it is always the part showing? Look, we're not here to throw shade — but let's call it what it is. Mass-produced Chinese tennis chains often: Use cheap prongs or glue to hold stones (not good) Don't have proper link balancing, so the chain flips like a pancake Feature stones that look shiny… until you turn on the light shiny… until you turn on the light Are plated over brass or mystery metal instead of real silver Meanwhile, ItaliaChains offers: Real VVS D-color moissanite stones — yes, they pass the diamond tester stones — yes, they pass the diamond tester Solid 925 sterling silver bases or 14k gold vermeil over silver bases or over silver Hand-set stones that won't pop out the second you sneeze that won't pop out the second you sneeze Polished links that are smooth, flexible, and made to lay flat like a pro 1. 'This moissanite tennis chain looks better than my friend's real diamonds. No one can tell the difference — not even the jeweler.' — Andre M., New York, NY 2. 'Finally, a tennis chain that doesn't flip! I've worn mine every day for two months and it still sits perfectly flat.' — Brian S., Los Angeles, CA 3. 'I bought the 4mm moissanite tennis chain from ItaliaChains and paired it with their matching bracelet. People think I dropped 10K — I let them think that.' — Jason R., Miami, FL 4. 'I compared mine to one I bought from another site. The ItaliaChains version was heavier, the stones were brighter, and it didn't turn my neck green.' — Elijah W., Chicago, IL 5. 'Customer service helped me pick the right length, and the quality blew me away. Handmade in Italy really does hit different.' — Marcus D., Houston, TX If you're looking for a moissanite tennis chain that shines like diamonds, doesn't flip like a fish, and actually lasts more than two parties, is where it's at. With real Italian craftsmanship, GRA-certified moissanite, and no middleman markup, they're delivering men's tennis chains that check every box: ✅ Shine✅ Weight✅ Comfort✅ Durability ✅ Not made in a warehouse that also sells fidget spinners Skip the hype. Go for the handmade. ItaliaChains has the smoothest, iciest, flattest moissanite tennis chains on the market — and your neck will thank you. TIME BUSINESS NEWS

Soviet-era plane crashes in Russia's far east killing all on board
STORY: :: WARNING: Graphic content :: Russian Investigative Committee/Handout A Soviet-era plane carrying 48 people crashed in Russia's far east on Thursday as it was preparing to land, killing everyone on board. The Antonov An-24, made in 1976, was spotted by a search helicopter after it disappeared from radar screens. :: Federal Air Transport Agency It had been attempting to land for a second time after failing to touch down on its first approach, the Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor's Office said in a statement. The plane was operated by the privately owned Siberian regional airline Angara and was carrying 42 passengers, including five children, and six crew. It had been en route from the city of Blagoveshchensk near the Chinese border, to Tynda. :: Far Eastern Transport Prosecutor's Office/Handout There were no roads to the site, and a rescue team had to use heavy machinery to cut a path. Investigators said they had opened a criminal case into the suspected violation of air traffic and air transport rules. Russian news agencies reported the plane had recently passed a technical safety inspection and had been involved in four apparently minor incidents since 2018. President Vladimir Putin held a minute's silence at the start of a government meeting, and expressed his condolences to the families of those killed. The crash is likely to raise new questions about the viability of continuing to fly such old planes in far-flung corners of Russia. Western sanctions have crimped Moscow's ability to access investment and spare parts. More than 1,300 An-24 planes were built in the Soviet Union. Data from the RussianPlanes web-portal and Reuters analysis found 88 have now been lost because of crashes and 65 because of serious incidents without casualties. Another 75 are currently in operation.
