Top 6 Chains For Your Jewellery Designs

Choosing the right chain for your jewellery design

Choosing a chain for your jewellery designs can seem tricky when there are so many different types to choose from.

In this post, we’ve hand-picked 6 types of chains from our range, to give you an idea of the many types of chain available and how they can be used to compliment your designs - from glittery to dainty, we've got a chain for every style!

We have a whole range of chains available, including 14ct gold filled, 9ct gold and silver and gold plated chain in a variety of styles. While many of our chains come in a variation of ready to wear lengths, we also offer loose chain that can be any desired length, making them versatile for your designs.

When shopping around for chain for your jewellery designs, one tip we have is to buy in bulk. For example, here at Kernowcraft we offer quantity discount on many of our items including chains, making it more affordable for both hobbyists and small businesses.

Each link has numerous facets, giving a glittery effect and making them twinkle like diamonds! This chain consists of small links which pattern the shape of a rope, hence the name.
