• a step of spiral-winding said at least one ornamental wire around said elongated support along said longitudinal extension direction, in order to obtain a solid cord;
• a first step of removing said elongated support from said solid cord;
• a second step of removing said at least one internal core from the at least one ornamental wire of said solid cord;
• said first removal step and said second removal step transforming said solid cord into a lightened cord;
