Chains:
We offer a variety of chain styles, all of high quality and designed for durability.
The material, weight, and intricacy of a given chain style are the factors which determine its price. Heavier chains are made with more metal, meaning it comes with a higher price tag. Simple and light weight chains such as cable chains are typically the least expensive option.
Findings:
Findings are the components in jewelry that connect one element to another. The price of findings depends on the material, type, and number used in a given design. There are many different types of jewelry findings, the most common include:
Findings for Earrings – Includes earring hooks, posts, backs, and findings for dangles.
Jump Rings – Small metal rings used to connect different elements.
Clasps – Fasteners such as lobster clasps, spring ring clasps, toggle clasps, and hook clasps.
Pendant Settings/Bailings – Connectors that attach pendants to chains.
Chain Extenders – Additional chain links to lengthen necklaces or bracelets.
Head Pins – Pins with a flat or decorative end used to create dangles or pendants.
