Snake chain, also known as Brazilian chain is unlike any other chain as it is not made up of links. It consists of smooth metal plate links that are tightly woven to create a flexible chain. This is a smooth chain and offers a sophisticated look to your designs. We supply a beautiful range of snake chains to suit your needs, from extra fine to medium as silver plated, sterling silver to 9ct gold. Rope chain is an interesting look, featuring links that are woven together to form a twisted effect, resembling the look of rope.
This is great if you're after a chain to take centre stage! Shop our range of rope chain ranging from fine to medium in sterling silver and 9ct gold. We also offer a gorgeous sterling silver black oxidised diamond cut rope chain which is perfect for more luxurious designs. Bead chain, also known as ball chain or pelline chain, is a lovely style to choose for your designs.
It features tiny metal spheres of little balls running throughout the chain, instead of open links. They are fixed at regular intervals along the length of the chain with connector bars. If you like bead chain, you may also be fond of satellite chain which is a dainty chain consisting of silver beads evenly spaced along the length of the chain.
Both offer a lovely modern feel to jewellery designs. Figaro is a pretty chain, adding detailing and interest to your design. It has flattened links and usually features 3 shorter links separated by a longer link.
These alternating sizes of links catch the light and reveal a lovely sparkle. Figaro chain is available in sterling silver and 9ct gold at Kernowcraft. Wheat chain is a style that comes and goes depending on fashion. You must be logged in to post a comment.
