Chain is an easy way to add a trendy look to your jewelry creations. And, there are so many different styles! In this Beading Lesson, I'll show you some exciting ideas for getting creative with chain.
Silver, gold and gunmetal plated chain is available in a variety of styles. To choose the one that's best for your design, think about the overall look you're going for. You can use Figaro chain for a classic look, curb chain for a funky look, elongated chain for a contemporary look or very thin cable chain for an understated look.
Silver-plated chain looks like real silver at a fraction of the cost and makes it easy to create designer pieces that fit your budget. Use chain to add a bit of metallic flair to necklaces, bracelets and earrings.
Quick Links™ Chain is comprised of geometric links that are attached with removable connectors so you can make your own customized chain. They can be used with Quick Links components to make custom chain designs in minutes. These versatile components add design flair whenever you use them.
Polyester Chain is an innovative, lightweight chain created from polyester fibers that are fashioned into large cable chain. It can be used in place of regular chain and is great for big, bold earring designs without the excess weight.
Chain Kits from Beadalon come complete with easy-to-use foldover ends with no soldering required. Cut chain to the desired length and attach foldover ends with crimping pliers.
