Hi Guys, i've been searching for this Marina Chain (in 3mm width) but can't seem to find anywhere that sells it Loose (by the metre/foot).
If anyone can point me in the right direction, i'd be ever so grateful!
I see it being sold, but it's always in finished chains.

I can't seem to find any loose either but Curteis do at least have a large selection of lengths, perhaps you could join them

How do you know where he lives. There is nothing in his profile that tells you. I have come across this in the past with other people and it mystifies me.

I don't know of anyone here, but I'm sure Rio stock that. I think they have a reasonably low fixed shipping cost to UK now.

In my experience with various forums if the member does not give their location they tend to be from the forum country of origin

Sorry, didnt think about the gender issue. I am also female and in Exeter, my daughter makes jewellery too. You could possibly make one from jump rings, flattened and made like an "e" shape. Rio have it https://www.riogrande.com/Product/sterling-silver-31mm-anchor-chain-by-the-foot/632232B

These are two different chains.

As far as I'm aware, marina (or mariner) chains are usually a curbed (and thus flattened) version of a traditional anchor chain. Cousins have an anchor chain (which they confusingly call marine) and I know somebody must have the flattened version as I have a length of it in my chain box, but I can't remember where it came from - though I'm pretty sure it was an Israeli supplier.

Yes, it's the flattened one i want....and i think i know the Seller.
They're on Ebay if i remember rightly.
Thank you!
