Description

A beautiful extension chain made of gold PVD-coated stainless steel. There's a teardrop charm at the end of the chain.

A clasp is included, so you don't need to buy one separately. The chain's links are generously sized, so the clasp hook is easy to attach to the chain's ring.

This extension chain is great for necklaces, bracelets, and anklets, giving the wearer the ability to adjust the length of the piece.

The extension chain is gold PVD-coated, which gives a significantly more durable gold plating than conventional plating. PVD coating gives the chain a beautiful, warm tone and a polished look.

Frequently asked questions about the product

What is a PVD gold-plated extension chain used for?

A PVD gold-plated extension chain is used to adjust the length of necklaces, anklets, and bracelets. It's attached to one end of the piece with a jump ring, and the piece's clasp is closed onto the desired link of the extension chain. This gives the wearer a bit of flexibility in choosing the length.

The gold-toned surface is especially suited to jewelry where the clasp, jump rings, and other visible metal parts are also gold-toned.

Which end of the extension chain is attached to the jewelry piece?

The end with the drop always stays free, and the opposite end is attached to the jewelry piece with a jump ring. The drop acts as a weight and decoration on the extension chain.

On necklaces, the drop keeps the extension chain at the back and stops it from twisting around to the front of the piece. The drop also helps you find the end of the chain. This is why most quality extension chains have some kind of decorative end piece.

Where on the extension chain is the clasp attached?

The clasp is attached to whichever link of the extension chain the wearer wants to close the piece on. This is exactly what makes the piece adjustable. The clasp can be closed nearer the end of the piece for a shorter length, or further along the chain for a longer length.

Are the extension chain's links openable?

The links are soldered closed, so they aren't meant to be opened. This makes the extension chain more durable in use, since the links can't come open the way an open jump ring can. The extension chain is attached to the piece with a separate jump ring, not by opening the extension chain's own links.

What should be kept in mind when wearing a PVD gold-plated extension chain?

A PVD gold-plated surface holds up well in use, but it should still be handled carefully. Avoid unnecessary scratching with pliers, and choose matching gold-plated jump rings and clasps in the same tone, so the finished piece looks cohesive.

It's best to put jewelry on last and take it off first, so perfume, lotion, and hairspray don't put unnecessary strain on the gold-toned surface.

Yes. The products in our range meet the chemical restrictions applied to jewelry in the EU (such as the limits on nickel release and the thresholds for lead and cadmium).

What is surgical steel, and is it safe?
