    Question Finishing Chain Ends

    Hi Guys,
    i bought some of this Gold plated '3 bead Chain', (excuse the blurry photo). Click image for larger version.

    I presumed i could attach jump rings, but not even the smallest wire i have (0.4mm) can go through the holes, let alone a jump ring. :/
    So just wanted to know what chain ends i could use to finish the chain off.
    The balls are about 1.5mm if that helps.
    Thank you in advance.

    People who use fine chain like that, probably have the answer. You could certainly enlarge the holes somewhat by pushing with a fine sewing needle. But soldering jump rings, either onto or through it will tend to destroy the plating, so the ends will have to be crimped, or possibly glued.

    It's late now, but Faced with this problem, I would browse the Rio Grande findings section for gold filled chain ends. If you find something suitable it would be with you in about a week. Dennis.
