Chain can be used easily by adding a clasp to desired length to create necklaces and bracelets. Also, chain links make great additions to chandelier-style earrings.

An economical alternative to sterling silver chain, silver-plated chain is constructed of base metal chain dipped or electroplated with a microscopic film of silver particles. Because of the nature of the plating process, silver plated scratches easily and eventually will chip and tarnish over time.

Chain is sold by the inch and has figure-8 links between round links.
