Marine
Marine chains are a popular choice for both contemporary and traditional jewellery designs. Known for their symmetrical oval links with a central bar, they provide a sturdy, balanced look ideal for use with gemstones such as sapphire, tourmaline, or amethyst.
Marine chains are commonly paired with jump rings, clasps, and settings for pendants, keyrings, or permanent bracelets. Marine chains can be soldered, cleaned, and repaired with standard tools including solder wire, silverclean, and blow torches. These chains are a staple for jewellers across New Zealand!
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What clasps are best for marine chains?
Parrot clasps and lobster clasps are commonly used due to their strength and clean finish. They pair well with the flat link structure of marine chain styles.
2. Are marine chains suitable for gemstone pendants?
Yes. Their structural strength and uniform links make them ideal for supporting gemstone settings such as amethyst, topaz, or cubic zirconia, especially when using jump rings or bails for attachment.
