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 Australia!
