Trace
Trace chains are a popular choice for jewellers due to their fine, uniform link pattern and versatility across various designs. Commonly used in pendant necklaces, bracelets, and fine jewellery, they work well with materials such as sterling silver and gold filled metal. The subtle style of trace chains complements both minimal and ornate settings, making them suitable for a wide range of jewellery making kits and custom pieces. Trace chains are compatible with jump rings, bails, clasps, and soldering methods using solder paste, solder wire, or silverclean. Frequently used in conjunction with mandrels, pliers, and beading tools, they’re a reliable option for jewellers.
Frequently Asked Questions
1. What materials are trace chains available in?
Trace chains are commonly available in sterling silver and gold filled, with filled and plated options.
2. Can trace chains be repaired or soldered?
Yes, most trace chains made from precious metals like silver and gold can be soldered using soldering kits, solder paste, or solder wire, provided the correct temperature and technique are used.
3. Are trace chains strong enough for daily wear?
Trace chains are fine but durable, suitable for light to medium pendants. For heavier pieces, consider pairing with stronger clasps or jump rings, or opting for a slightly thicker gauge.
