Looking for a chain

[HeatherL]

I'm looking to purchase a chain for a pendant, most likely a box chain. Does anyone know of an online store with reasonable prices?

Thanks,
Heather

Ask a couple of the PS vendors to give you a price on the chain length you want, I'm sure they can get them in for you.

I know Michael from gemshoppe.com can order from Roseco.com this box chain but i'm not sure what the cost would be as he's order from them in the past for other projects

I have a box chain from Sears almost 14 years old, and still as nice quality as can be, never once had issues with my chain.

Thanks D&T, I'll check with him for a price....thanks again for the help!!

D&T, thats why I love box chains they seem to last forever. I've never had any problems with mine either. I'm looking for a rose gold one which is why I need a new one... I hope I can find one that isn't a whole bunch of money as this is just something to wear every once in a while.....

sure anytime Heather!

also ask Michael about Stuller's chain, he usually can get stuller within days, see which ones he prefer as far as quality.

I wore mine for the first five years, straight I think without taking it off still my chain never once kinked. Yep, I agree, box chains are really nice, and they feel really good on slick and smooth, doesn't get caught in my hair, I've had a couple of other chains before, can't remember what they were, but my hair would get wrapped up and yanked out all the time.

Heather, are you looking for white gold or yellow? and what kind of thickness? Really petite can be bought for very little even now.

Yellow gold at Fortunoff, 18" for $99.-

I am looking for rose gold. I checked with the place that D&T recommended but Michael said he can't order one for me because he no longer has a place to order from because they went out of business. So does anyone have any suggestions, I know I can easily pick somewhere off the internet however I hate not knowing if they are reputable or not......Thanks!!!

I would honestly look on ebay. Many of the sellers are power sellers and you can get what you want for a fraction of the price at a store. Here are quite a few to choose from

The one that is adjustable caught my eye because then you can make it whatever length you need it. I have a WG rope one and I LOVE it. The clasp has a little heart on mine and so it dangles down my back if I have it at its shorter length.

oh no I'm so sorry Michael can't get them in for you. Surely one of the other PS vendor maybe able to? But you are looking for rose gold righty? I would also recommend Sally of heart of water on Etsy http://www.etsy.com/shop/HeartofWaterJewels?section_id=5731635, but it would be coming from Thailand. She's a sweetheart as when I was inquiring about chains, she took pictures of them up close for me to choose, but they were from Italy and it was a bit pricy though awww if I find any other vendors I'll link them for you.

Rio Grande will sell directly to you and the prices are great. I would try them as well.

An old website that I had saved that specializes in rose gold-

Thanks everyone!! I ended up finding one on ebay, the seller has a good return policy, so I'm keeping my fingers crossed that it goes smoothly!!!

I happy you found something on eBay Heather. That was lucky! because there's not as much gold for sale as there was before the recession and the inflated metals prices.

 

[D&T]

yay! Heather glad you found something, can you post a picture of it, and tell us your thoughts about the chain and ebay seller once you get it in?
