It's proven to be a great seller in the smaller version and its big sister is quickly climbing the charts.

Same great chain in antique brass, gunmetal and antique copper with added features like…

• Larger links allow for use as Chain extender
• Handle some weight with larger pendants and chunkier beads
• Mixes well with other styles
• Use for tassels, lariats, anklets, earrings..the list can go on
• Worth mentioning that I always appreciate having the option to cut the smaller in between links opposed to cutting large links when designing with chain.

I'll stop raving about it and here are quick links to get a closer look:

Antique Brass #27 Medium 3 and 1 Chain

Antique Copper #36 Medium 3 and 1 Chain

Gunmetal #35 Medium 3 and 1 Chain

Have a great weekend.. I'm hitting SummerFair this Sunday with friends to enjoy all the great artisan made goods..buying some too!

Using bar link chain makes for an attractive easy pair of earrings. The chain is nice without alot of extra. My daughter created these in less than 20 minutes wire wrapping beads to the end of each chain and connecting all three chain lengths to the ring of the earwire. It took less time than folding the laundry and more enjoyable to say the least.

Stunning acorn bead caps with antique copper finish are back on the shelf. Couldn't help but include some new caps like the tulip/rose petal cap and the open 8 petal bead cap.

Bead caps always add so much texture, character and whimsy to your designs. 

BTW, the large rose petal cap is perfect for gathering multiples strands and cords. My Kumihimo friends will love this!

More caps in antique brass finish arriving in a couple of weeks.

 As I have said before it's the little things really that can bring so much joy.

Cheers again,

Simple style, great contrast, and a bit flirty. Perfect look for lunch with girlfriends.. deck parties or a wine tasting outing.

New Black chain (a.k.a. gunmetal) with flattened oval links has just arrived and I really like the versatility for the price!!

• Great chain extension size
• Larger open links but still lightweight for earrings
• Use for bracelet, necklace, earring and anklet designs.
• Mix and match with other chains

and.. this chain also comes in bright silver, antique brass, and antique copper.

Cheers,
