Neckwires.Anyone make their own?

[CJ57]

Does anyone make their own neckwires? I usually use the Cookson omega but as they don’t stock the longer lengths I have to buy them from Curteis, I hate their website and I think they’ve got expensive.
Looking for other chain stockist too, I usually use belcher but thought a change would be good but it’s so difficult to choose online and time is limited

I make my own they are just like really big jump rings, I can't get Argentium over 1.6 in Australia so I have to get the thicker stuff if I want it From Cookson

I think we’re maybe talking at cross purposes Bob. I was thinking more like these https://www.cooksongold.com/Finished...prcode-VVI-OFR. I think I’ll have to stick with Curteis

Ah yes my mistake, not concentrating getting my gear together, for the ANZAC dawn service then the march representing my father, Kilt seems to be shrinking ( or maybe I am expanding )

Have you tried W J Sutton? https://www.925jewellery.co.uk/ - good prices and a pretty wide range - not always using the same chain names though, so it takes a bit of ploughing through to find what you're looking for.

Thanks George. I hadn’t thought of them, will have a look.

Kilts tend to shrink over time Bob put an extra hole or 2 in the buckle and move the buttons

I also use the Omega - do you find it's too easy to kink, Caroline? Been a bit disappointed with them recently. I would like to find a multi cable one but no success yet.

I use the 1.5 Theresa. I measured my other ones from Cookson and the 1mm was anything between .8 and .9 and the 1.2 were about 1.12, that’s useless really. They used to do a 3 strand which was quite nice but I see they’re selling .8 and 1mm to make your own so I suppose you could strand them up.
Curteis 18 in 1.5 arrived and they are good but their website is so difficult to understand. that I bought a foot of snake when I understood their wording that they were selling in 3 ft lengths:/ I have a useless ft of 3 mm snake now. I ordered more chain on the phone and I have no idea how much I spent , I wasn’t impressed really
