Fox Tail Chain

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

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.

Singapore Chain/Twist Chain Disco Chain

Singapore may also be called twisted curb, but the links are joined in such a way that, even when the chain is untwisted, there is always a natural curve to it.

This style chain is constructed using a series of flat Diamond Cut chain links.

Several of these links are interwoven to form a diamond shape, and then in turn these diamond shaped links are twisted and flattened to form a chain. This design results in a chain with links that reflect light from different angles, giving the chain a sparkling appearance as well as a pleasing natural curve.
