⚠️ Not All "Gold-Filled" Chain Is Created Equal

Here's the deal:
A lot of suppliers (especially overseas) use the term "gold-filled" incorrectly. What you're getting is often heavy gold plating at best, and that's not the same.

True 14/20 Gold-Filled Chain (what we sell) meets U.S. standards:

  • 1/20 of its weight is 14K gold alloy, a real layer of gold
  • Mechanically bonded, not electroplated
  • Long-lasting even with daily wear

You and your customers deserve better, and we deliver it.

❓ Frequently Asked Questions

Do I need a wholesale account to buy permanent jewelry chain?

To get wholesale pricing, apply for a wholesale account with your state resale certificate. Applications are usually approved within about 72 hours, and there is no order minimum. See our Wholesale FAQ for details by state.

Is gold filled the same as gold plated?

No. Gold filled has a thick layer of real 14K gold mechanically bonded to a base metal core, making up 1/20 of its weight. Gold plating is a very thin layer applied with electricity that wears off much faster. For permanent jewelry, true 14/20 gold filled is the standard.

Which jump ring do I need for my chain?

It depends on the chain's link size. Our Jump Ring Size Guide lists the recommended jump ring for every chain we carry, and each chain listing shows its matching jump ring.

How much chain should I buy to get started?

Most new artists start with a few best-selling styles in both gold filled and sterling silver. Our Permanent Jewelry Chain Starter Pack includes 30 feet of chain plus 400 jump rings, so you're ready for your first events.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. We ship from the USA and have sent chain to artists in 13 countries, including Canada, the UK, Australia, Japan and across Europe.
