Figaro Chain

The most ornate silver plated chain I currently provide is the figaro chain. This chain is perfect for a delicate looking charm. The pattern of the chain is five small links and then one longer link.

Link measurements:

Shorter links: 0.2cm X 0.3cm
Longer links: 0.2cm X 0.5cm

Thick Chain

Mainly used for charm bracelets because the larger loops allow for charms to be hung on them, either with a jump ring or a clasp. The medium curb (thick) chain is a repeated pattern of one size loop. Also available in gold plated.

Link measurements: approximately 0.5mm in length and 0.3mm wide.

Thin Chain

The small cable chain is a repeated pattern of small loops. I mainly use this chain for necklaces, as using this for a charm bracelet would make it awkward to add extra charms.

Link measurements: approximately 0.3cm in length and 0.2cm wide.

Waxed Cord

This thread is 100% cotton. It has a bootlace type feel to it. Currently available in 13 colours, I usually use one thread for a necklace. I can use more than one thread on a necklace if you wish, please contact me for more details about this.

Synthetic Suede

Ultra micro-fibre suede is not made from animals, but it looks and feels like real suede. It is actually a little stronger and longer lasting than real suede cord.

I usually use this material for necklaces and the plaited/friendship bracelets, however it can also be used for a charm bracelet, but the charms would need to be added by me (clasp charms would not work very well with this material).
Synthetic suede is currently available in 9 colours.
