Finished Silver Chains & Gold Chains

What is a finished chain??

A finished jewellery chain comes complete with bolt rings and clasps, which makes them the faster and better choice for jewellers who are creating collections in bulk or looking for a quick, yet high-quality, finish. With a finished chain, you take away the need to attach the findings yourself and therefore speed up the production process.

What are the different types of finished chains?

The most common types of finished chains include contemporary snake chains, box chains and belcher chains , as well as traditional trace chains and curb chains.

Snake chains are known for their smooth, flexible structure, perfect for delicate pendants. Box chains consist of square-shaped links that create a clean, geometric appearance. Belcher chains feature round, uniform links and offer a strong, classic look.

Trace chains have small, round links with a fine and subtle style, ideal for simple designs. Curb chains are made with interlocking flat links that lie neatly and are often used for bold pieces. Each of these chains provides a different aesthetic, allowing you to choose the best style to complement your jewellery project. Our finished necklace chains are available in lengths from 16” upwards, and widths of 0.5mm and more. If you’re looking for a specific length for your gold and silver chains, our loose jewellery chains may be the best option.

How to choose the perfect finished chain for your project

Choosing the right finished chain depends on the design and intended use of your jewellery. For delicate pendants, opt for a thin, lightweight chain like a cable or trace chain. If you’re creating a statement piece, consider a chunky curb or rope chain for added impact and durability.

Ensure the metal complements your pendant and matches your design style, whether it’s classic, modern, or bold. Also, ensure the clasp style suits your design for functionality and security.
