Trace

Trace

Trace chains are a popular choice for jewellers due to their fine, uniform link pattern and versatility across various designs. Commonly used in pendant necklaces, bracelets, and fine jewellery, they work well with materials such as sterling silver and gold filled metal. The subtle style of trace chains complements both minimal and ornate settings, making them suitable for a wide range of jewellery making kits and custom pieces.

Trace chains are compatible with jump rings, bails, clasps, and soldering methods using solder paste, solder wire, or silverclean. Frequently used in conjunction with mandrels, pliers, and beading tools, they’re a reliable option for jewellers across New Zealand.
