Jewellery Making Chains - Cable, Paperclip & Extender

Browse chains for jewellery making, including cable, paperclip and extender styles. Choose links to suit your necklace or bracelet design, or use an appropriate extender chain when planning an adjustable fastening. Compare the shape and proportions of each link with the scale of your beads or focal pendant.

Read the individual material and finish information. Listings include gold-plated iron chain and gold-plated brass paperclip chain, so the base metal is not necessarily the same across the range. Gold plating describes a surface finish rather than a chain made from solid gold.

Supplied lengths also vary. Cable examples include one-metre lengths and five-metre bulk packs, while extender examples are listed by the metre. Check the selected quantity and unit before estimating how many necklaces, bracelets or shorter sections you can make. Do not assume a clasp is included with chain sold by length.

Before assembly, check the actual link openings against your jump rings, clasps and pendant attachments. Confirm whether the links are open or soldered and choose a construction method suited to that chain. Allow for the length added by a clasp or extender when planning the finished fit, and follow product-specific handling and care guidance.
