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.


Sterling Silver Black Oxidized Diamond Cut Rope Chain

If you’re after a chain that adds a touch of luxury, this is the one for you. A great choice of chain in winter or special events, with its dark colour and beautiful sparkle. 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.


Sterling Silver Fine Trace Chain

The fine trace chain is a popular choice among jewellers as it's perfect for designs that are worn daily due to it's simplicity.

This chain is available in a variation of lengths perfect for necklets, bracelets or simply choose your desired length.


Sterling Silver Black Twisted Chain

Also available in silver

For something a little different, our twisted chain is great for more sophisticated jewellery designs due to its stunning sparkle. This particular chain comes with a 6mm bolt ring clasp and is ready to wear with your chosen pendant.

Sterling Silver Beading Chain

Are you a beader? This beading chain has closely connected links, making it great for stringing beads with small holes that need a bit more strength and durability than using usual thread.

Sterling Silver Bead Chain

This popular ready made chain is popular among both women's and men's jewellery. The bead chain is made from round silver balls and doesn't consist of links like most chains.

Connector bars are used to secure the balls in place along the chain. This chain is also known as ball or pelline chain.

Sterling Silver Satellite Chain

One of our newest chains at Kernowcraft is the satellite chain, perfect for dainty designs and offering something a little more modern.

The chain has tiny silver beads evenly spaced along the chain - it’s a design that we have been seeing more and more of in jewellery creations and we’re loving it!
