Source for long 18k yellow ball chain necklace for charms

[tbbbjb]

Hi All,

I have searched the web, asked friends and looked at books and books of Jewelry in vain to find a long (20" +) 18k yellow gold ball chain necklace. It goes by so many names: ball chain, bead chain, combat chain, dog tag chain.

I almost thought I found it a couple of times. Tiffany's has one, but it is teeny tiny, not at all like the ones thy have in silver . I am looking for 3mm width. Tous has one that is 2.2mm, but it is only 40cm (15.7"), so I would have to get it lengthened and that only seems to be possible if I get one in Spain. I also would rather not pay for a 'name' necklace as I just want a generic ball chain necklace.

I have had no problems finding them in 14k, but again, I want 18k.

Anyone have a good source? I will appreciate any and all help.

Thanks!

Try google and use "bead chain" for your search.

For example: Here is an 18KT Yellow Gold Bead Chain http://www.gouzlan.com/Merchant2/merchant.mvc?Screen=PROD&Product_Code=205-H&Category_Code=CH

You also might try a local non-chain jewelry store with a bench jeweler. They can sometimes special order items like that from a jewelry supplier like Rio Grande.
