The traditional Bead chain consisting of continuous spherical balls of silver wonder are classic styles of Sterling Silver chain and a style that fits well with any of your pendants, and the larger the ball shaped links, the nicer it can be to wear on their own. Most classic bead chains are crafted from this simple spherical type bead ball chain, with ever so perfect smooth polished surfaces. It only takes a few Ball Bead shaped links to capture a ray of light and throw it right back out twice as bright.
If you love the texture of smooth surfaces, you might also find it difficult to resist that temptation to roll these smoothly polished silver beads between your fingers back and forth obsessively.
This month we’ll be introducing a new collection of Sterling Silver Chains that incorporate Beads in an altogether unusual but refreshing way.
Our Chains with Beads collection, is one that you might find to have been described as Saturn Chains, Station Chains or Beaded Chains and the designs are all similar in that they take a simple but effective composition. Our “Chains with Beads” shake up the traditional plain bead chains that have the same bead link repeated after one another. The Chains with Beads start with a classic style of Sterling Silver Chain at its foundation. This main chain from end to end is always of one style, for example a Cable Chain, or another plain Bead Chain. Upon this main chain, beads of identical style are threaded through this chain and evenly spaced out along the length of the chain. The beads are intended to be interspaced at regular intervals for symmetry, but additionally each bead is fixed into its position and won’t ever move from that position. This is great because we know how annoying it might be to have beads sliding around. The width of main chain is also finer than the beads themselves, and this size difference creates a visually refreshing contrast.
Therefore, with the Beads intentionally more prominent, what’s adds more excitement is the variety we’re able to introduce. The beads from our Sterling Silver Chains with Beads collection will feature a choice of shapes, from those with classic round Balls, to unique Cubes, smooth Discs, and classic Oval Shapes. If you’re a fan of diamond cut jewellery, those beads with detailed diamond cutting are sure to wow you. All you’ll need to do next is choose a style to fit your character!
When wearing a Chain with Beads style, these are best worn on their own, without any pendant being added since the variety along the length of the chain, from end to end, create a complete look in themselves. Adding a pendant is best avoided to ensure your look is not over cluttered.
However, we’d definitely recommend to take a look at layering several varieties of Sterling Silver Chain with Beads – it’s a great way of being creative and certainly raises the bar for uniqueness and trend setting.
Our Chains with Beads collection is also an undeniably practical and fashionable item of jewellery. If you’re in a rush and can’t decide which pendant with which chain, Chains with Beads feature all the variety you need and they’re ready to wear without needing to add or remove anything extra. What's more is with this style of chain featuring links that aren't consistently or overly chunky or thick, they are a comfortable wear in the Summer or warmer climates when you might already be feeling irritable from the heat.
Our Sterling Silver Chains with Beads collection, is one of the fashion styles to have hit a high note in style terms and have an undeniable air of finesse about them and they’re certainly items of jewellery that if you’re buying as a gift for a loved one, it would be hard not to sneak one into your basket for yourself too.
