Foxtail Chain uses a Loop Chain link made up of two
rows of slanted oval links connected by a series of flat rings running
down the chain’s centre. Each row of links faces the other at a 45
degree angle. This creates a braided or woven effect with a directional
grain and fullness which gives the appearance of the hairs on a fox’s
tail. This chain can be Hammered or Swaged into a square profile or
Diamond Cut. www.chainmachines.com

Bismarck Chain @ Bismark Chain
Bismarck Chain somewhat resembles a chain link fence
but with a much tighter mesh arrangement. It starts as run of two Cable
Chains or Curb Chains whose sides are then neatly soldered together to
form a parallel length of links. www.chainmachines.com

Snake Chain
Snake Chain a very tight-linked chain that has a round or
square cross-section and has links that create a slight zigzag look. It
is made up of smooth round metal plates or bands with a slight curve at
their mid point. They are tightly joined together to form a continuous
flexible tube reminiscent of a snakeskin due to the slight zigzag
effect. Its virtually closed surface profile makes for a very elegant
and flexible chain perfect for displaying a pendant from. Unlike Omega
Chain there is no underlying wire or mesh to support these plates. This
jewelry making chain is also known as Brazilian Chain, Round Maille
Chain, Hexagon Chain and Star Weave Chain.

Box Chain
Box also known as Briolette, is similar to a belcher
chain except the links are tighter together and are square in shape,
hence the name. The Box chain is made from round wire rolled flat
before being formed into square links that form open boxes or cubes,
giving it a sturdy yet classically smooth, sleek and uniform appearance.
This chain is loved for its geometric simplicity. This is one of the
stronger chains. This jewelry making chain is also known as a Briolette
Chain, Square Link Chain and Venetian Chain.
