Jewelry Making Essentials of Jewelry Links

Posted by admin on Sep 13, 2011 in beads, jewelry supplies | 0 comments

Jewelry links is a component within a piece of jewelry which connects one component to another or a single loop in a chain. A link has the same amount of loops or holes on each end.

Links are decorative and functional design elements that connect various parts of a piece of jewelry. They can be in sterling silver, gold filled, silver plated, gold plated, and copper plated as well.

Today I will introduce four kinds of links with different features, priorities and usage tips.

The first kind of links is end bar links hat serve as a transitional finding for single- and multi-strand designs. Commonly used as a centerpiece for a chain necklace, they are stylish transitional pieces from two or more strands to one or whenever your design calls for an elegant connection of multi-strands. They are also popular for use in rosaries.

With a beautiful antique finish and natural design, the second kind of links can be used as focal pieces in jewelry or as distinctive connectors between jewelry elements.

An antique finish highlights the detailing of the third kind of links will complement all your favorite beads with sophistication and polish. Besides, to embellish shinning crystals and tiny beads to these links will also highlight the jewelry piece.

The following Links are also versatile components with two holes, one on each end, that enable multiple jewelry options. Use them as transitions between beads, clasps, chain or other findings.

Use jewelry links to add length in a necklace, create multiple strands in a bracelet or even use as a dangling detail for earrings! Browse from our selection of various materials, styles and sizes to find the links that work best for you and your next lovely idea.

We all know that bead caps are essential jewelry findings, which are the key to finish a piece of jewelry. Well, the size, color and style also the important part of bead caps, so for today’s DIY jewelry blog, I will focus on the size, color and style.

Size

Bead caps, like beads, are measured in millimeters (mm). If the jewelry design calls for the jewelry beads and bead caps to have equal emphasis, the bead caps should be close to the same size as the beads it is framing. If the designer wants the beads to stand out more, a slightly smaller bead cap will cover less of the beads.

Colors and Styles

Bead caps come in an assortment of metal colors such as antique brass, gold plated, nickel plated, raw brass, as well as silver plated, as the material used to make bead caps are usually brass, iron and zinc alloy. Most styles of bead caps resemble flowers, but designers can also find leaf, round and so many other shapes.
