Frequently asked questions about the collection: Chain
Q: Are these chains sterling silver?
A: These chains are silver plated but we do stock a fine 18" sterling silver chain assembled chain www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Assembled-chain-18-STS/bo7008
Q: Do you do a bronze type colour chain?
A: We have a copper finish www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Light-chain-AC/bo7199 which is similar to bronze or an antique gold www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Light-chain-AG/bo4129 which is more of a brass colour.
Q: Do you ever stock snake chain, preferably 16" or 18" complete with fastener? I think it looks much classier than the other types when making pendants etc.
A: We don't current sell snake chain only trace and curb chain but I will pass your request onto our buyers.
Q: Do you sell the same collection of chains from your website in your Brighton shop?
A: Yes we do, all of our current product range is stocked in the Brighton Bead Shop.
Q: Hi do you have any chains thin ones which I could use to make a bracelet and put beads and letter beads onto it. I want it to be strong so it can hold beads and also I dont want it to be too thin so that the beads can't fit on nicely. The beads will be quite big but I dont have an approximate size of the bead hole.
A: We have trace chain which is our thinnest chain and is 2mm thick or our light curb chain which is 3mm. The chain should be able to support the beads but it really does depend on the weight.
Q: Hi, Does the antique gold (light chain AG CHLAG) match the steam punk pendants? Do you do a heavier antique gold chain? thanks.
A: Yes, the antique gold chain should match all of the antique gold findings and the antique gold steampunk charms, we've tried to keep the whole range the same finish to make it easier to mix and match. We have a thicker 2mm antique gold chain at: www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Heavy-chain-AG/bo4130
Q: Hi, I need a chain that I can undo the links (like you do for a jump ring) and then close again. Do you do one in a continuous length - not just in 1 metre lengths?
A: We don't have anything like that ready-made but you could try our round or oval link chain www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=link+chain which comes in continuous lengths, you can open the little connecting pieces (if you are careful) but not the links. The only other solution would be to make your own chain from jump rings like in this project www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/projects/jump-ring-jewellery/169
Q: Hi, im looking for chain that is quite strong as i like to add lots of beads to my bracelets, which chain would you suggest
A: I'd suggest either the light www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=chl&x=0&y=0 or the heavy www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=chh&searchbutton=Search chain, they are both really strong and can take loads of beads dangling off them. You'll probably find the weakest part of a chain bracelet is the jump rings so it may be a good idea if you're making a really heavy bracelet to double up your jump rings or use really stiff heavy ones.
Q: Hi, which chain would you recommend for using as an extension chain as I don't want one too thick or heavy. Thanks.
A: I'd probably go with our ready made extension chains www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/home/search.php?searchfor=Extension&x=14&y=14 as the links are nice and big but the chain is quite thin.
Q: Hi. Could you tell me the nickle content in your findings please?
A: All our products are low nickel and conform to EU Nickel Directives 94/27 & 2004/96. The Nickel Directive imposes limits on the amount of nickel that may be released from jewellery and other products intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin. 0.2 µg/cm2/week for post assemblies which are inserted into pierced ears and other pierced parts of the human body and 0.5 µg/cm2/week for other products intended to come into direct and prolonged contact with the skin.
Q: I am only 11 and cannot yet afford the expensive sterling silver fine chain can you suggest what I could try to use on fine earing drops with small garnet chips please?
A: If you don't need sterling sliver we have a great range of silver plated chain. You could use our 2mm Trace chain www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Trace-chain-2mm/bo4124 or if you are looking for something slightly finer you could buy a sliver plated assembled chain to cut up to your own desired lengths www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Assembled-chain-18-SP/bo4119.
Q: I have been buying your 18in assembled silver chains. Since I only use 14in of this and throw the middle bit away I hoped to save money by buying a roll of it. I can see that 10m of 2mm trace chain seems to cost more than buying 20 chains made up, why is this? is it better quality than the made up chains?
A: The assembled chains are slightly finer than our trace chain and these two products also come from two different suppliers and this is why there is a slight price difference.
Q: Is there any heart shaped chain?
A: We have round and oval link chain but not currently any heart shaped unfortunately.
Q: What size are the links on this chain: Assembled Chain 24" GP Product code: CHA24 ?
A: They are approximately 2x2.8mm.
Q: What size are the links? and how many are there in an 8 length for both light and heavy silver plated chain?
A: The CHH heavy chain links are currently 4x5mm and there are 49 links per 8 inch length. The CHL light chain links are 3x4mm and there are 63 links per 8 inch length.
Q: What size in mm are the links on the AG light and heavy chains please?
A: The CHL (light) links are each 5x3.5mm and the CHH (heavy) are 7x5mm.
Q: What size links would I need to add charms to make a bag charm? and I would want them about 4 and 6 inch long pieces to add to a clip
A: You can see and example of a bag charm on our new range to stop motion videos www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/videos/pearl-and-flower-bag-charm-stop-motion-animation/33. You can use either our light or heavy chain and cut your desire lengths to size. To add your charms I recommend a 5mm or 7mm jump ring www.beadsunlimited.co.uk/Jump-Rings/c425.
