Let’s Talk Chain!

Nunn Design Chain

By offering a line of chains, Nunn Design has continued to support our company’s mission: to inspire and nurture creativity. One of the ways we are able to achieve this mission is by making the jewelry making process just a little bit easier for our customers.

I have to admit, chain as a category is really a challenge finding to compete with. It is expensive to manufacture, minimums are high and it is very price competitive. With very few companies manufacturing chain within the USA, Nunn Design sources the highest quality brass chain and plates it all within the USA using precious metals.

We don’t just offer chain. We offer everything you will need to make finished jewelry. Download the Jumpring and Chain Cheatsheet to see how all of our jumprings and Ball Chain Crimp Connectors fit on each of the chains. Yet another step we take in making your design process even easier!

Here are some fun facts about Nunn Design Chains:

  • Nunn Design sources the highest quality brass chain and plates it in the USA with imported precious metals; copper, 24k gold and .999 silver.
  • After plating, we oxidize all of our chain (except the sterling silver plate) to provide the same finish as all of the Nunn Design Findings.
  • After plating, chain is measured, spooled and carded in 10’, 12.5’ and 25’ put-ups.
  • Nunn Design offers Ball Chain Crimp Connectors, Jumprings and Lobster Clasps to finish your finished jewelry project. All in the same plates and high quality.

Assembled Necklaces

Better yet are these fantastic finished necklaces! After years of assembling all my own necklaces I had this “what if this was just already assembled” sort of moments. With solder jumprings that attach to the chain’s closures, these necklaces are very durable and such a delight to create with.

Nunn Design currently offers 4 of our chain options in 18” finished necklaces. Each finished assembled necklace is available in our 4 plates; copper, 24k gold and .999 silver. Learn more here.

We hope that you will use this series as a resource when preparing the copy to describe your own jewelry made from Nunn Design Findings. It is becoming more and more important to be completely transparent with how and where your jewelry is being made. Consumers want to be aware of what they are purchasing and who they are supporting. It is our jobs to provide correcting information and descriptions.
