Hi there, I also just got PA in DA and wanted the gold chain to make crossbody. May I know where did you get yours? Will it tarnish? Is gold colour matching the gold hardware on the PA? What length you recommend to make crossbody. TiA.

Hi :smile: I ordered my chain on Amazon in January. It hasn't tarnished much yet but it does have a metallic (coppery?) smell to it and I am not sure how to fix that yet (this just started).

Please don't mind my dirty/well loved PA... as you can see there is some tarnish on the U-clasp. This is the only place on the chain that has any.

I wouldn't say the color matches exactly but it hasn't bothered me.

Also the links tend to move around, which is easy to fix but annoying. At $8 USD I don't mind it. It is a thick and sturdy chain, very pretty with some weight to it, and I would say the color is pretty good (you can judge for yourself). It's 47" long. I'm 5'2" so this is an acceptable crossbody length for me. If you look at item review/customer photos other people have used the same chain for PA and like it.

MauttoHandbags (on Etsy) makes some nice chains but I didn't want to spend $50 and wait 3-4 weeks just to see if I liked the PA as a crossbody. When I need a new chain I may try Mautto or just repurchase since this is very inexpensive. Hope this helps!

Thank you so much. I’ve been seeing some on both Amazon and etsy as well. Yes etsy price is more expensive, but I won’t mind as long as I can get higher quality one.

I am certain the Mautto one is far better quality. For me it was about finding an inexpensive chain (that wouldn't take 2-4 weeks to arrive) to test drive the PA as a crossbody.
