How to choose a complete stainless steel chain?
Complete stainless steel chains are particularly appreciated for their resistance to humidity, oxidation, and daily wear and tear. They allow for the creation of durable jewelry without complex maintenance.
To choose your chain, start by checking the material used. 304 stainless steel is very common in DIY jewelry and offers excellent value for money. 316L steel is even more corrosion-resistant and is particularly suitable for jewelry worn daily.
The choice of chain link is also essential. Curb and cable chains remain the most versatile. Snake chains offer a more modern and elegant look, while trombone or paperclip links provide a more contemporary style.
Regarding length, 40 cm generally corresponds to a choker, 45 cm remains the most universal length, and 50 cm or more allows for a more visible necklace.
