Ideas of Using Iron Chains to Create Various Chain Necklaces



Chain is a widely used stringing material in jewelry making. According to materials, they are stored as iron chain, alloy chain, aluminium chain, brass chain, stainless steel chain and some other chains.
All they are produced in different colors, sizes and shapes. They are ready for bracelets and necklaces. Iron chains are used widely by jewelry makers for various style necklaces, including fashion, lovely, cute, modern and vintage. The most popular styles of Iron Chain are twist, cross ones, mother-son ones, pretzel ones and ball bead ones. All the styles are available in different colors, for example, black, silver, red copper, golden, antique colors, platinum, bronze and etc. Iron chains with different colors and styles can create different effects.
Make handmade iron chain necklaces is very funny. You can create different styles by using different jewelry materials. Iron is hard, but it could be very elegant too. Prepare some white pearl beads, 10pcs 6mm gold heart lampwork beads, 1pcs 12mm gold heart lampwork bead, three strands silver iron chains, some headpins, 2pcs eyepins and a clasp. Use headpins and pliers to make the 12mm lampwork bead and 10pcs 5mm lampwork beads and some pearl beads (the quantity is up to you) as pendants, and attach the small beads onto three averagely. Use one eyepin string a 5mm lampwork bead and make a loop on the top. Use this bead to link one chain and 12mm bead pendant together. Use the other eyepin to string the rest one 5mm lampwork bead to make a loop on top, and link one chain at bottom and the other two chains at top. Use wire to string all the rest white pearl beads as average two parts for necklace. Attach them on top two chains and clasp separately. Don't forget to use crimp beads to stop the pearl beads fall off. An elegant pearl necklace with iron chain and gold lampwork beads is finished. It is suitable for any occasion.
The above design maybe a little complicated. Stringing jewelry is always the simplest. Combine some glass beads and brass rhinestone bead with iron chain could create a simple but exquisite necklace. Just string all the beads on the chain and put the rhinestone bead on the middle. About the glass beads, you can choose different sizes (from 8-12mm) to create a mellow effect. If you like a lovely effect, just change the glass beads with a single color to different colors. A colorful, shinny fashion necklace is created.
You can also use some metal beads and pendants on iron chains to create some vintage style necklaces. More other styles depend on your designs. Today, more and more jewelry makers like to use safe chains, and some large jewelry materials suppliers like PandaHall could offer chains without lead and nickel.
