Curb

Curb chains are a popular, durable choice for both standalone wear and for holding pendants. Available in sterling silver and gold filled metal, they’re commonly used in both traditional and modern designs. The interlocking, flattened links make them ideal for use with jump rings, bails, clasps, and other jewellery making supplies. They're compatible with most findings and are often paired with gemstones like amethyst, sapphire, and tourmaline. These chains are frequently used in jewellery workshops across New Zealand. Whether you’re soldering with solder wire, refining with silverclean, or assembling with pliers, curb chains are a staple in any jeweller’s kit.
