Satellite

Satellite chains feature evenly spaced metal beads fixed along a fine chain, often used in minimalist jewellery or layered looks. Available in gold filled and sterling silver, they pair well with gemstones like amethyst, aquamarine, and zircon, or can be worn as-is for a clean, modern finish. These chains are commonly used in jewellery making kits, especially for supplies for necklace making, and are compatible with a wide range of findings such as clasps, bails, and jump rings. They suit designs incorporating silver clay, silverclean, or solder wire and are often assembled with tools like jewellery pliers, mandrels, and emery paper, they’re popular for both finished pieces and bespoke projects.

Frequently Asked Questions

They’re suitable for lightweight pendants or gemstone settings like tanzanite, sapphire, or topaz, but not ideal for heavy pieces due to their fine structure.
