Stamped Chains – How They Are Made:
This chain features stamped links that are precision-cut from sheet for consistency & crisp detail. Stamped links are typically made from thinner gauges, creating a lightweight design. This manufacturing process allows for intricate shapes and unique patterns that cannot easily be made with traditional wire-formed chain.
As a result, stamped links may be more delicate than traditional wire-formed chain and should be handled with care. Please note that chain styles with geometric-shaped links are also more susceptible to catching on objects, which may result in bending or damage if pulled.
If using this chain for long-term wear, such as permanent jewelry, we recommend discussing these details with your client at the time of purchase so they can choose the style that best suits their lifestyle and expectations.
