I bought 6 loose belcher chains from CG and forgot that as I'm not hallmarking yet, that I need to keep the weight of my items down to below 7.78g - So thought I would chop them in half and use the 12 halves to make bracelets instead and then order a lighter weight of chain for my necklaces.

What's the best way to chop a chain in half?
I was going to saw though the middle link, but it's really fiddly so thought I'd ask the experts first.

Any tips would be very helpful.
