Hi Ladies, I hope you can help me!

I am basically trying to recreate this look: http://loverocksny.com/shop/product.php?productid=16191&cat=249

I found a great hammered gold letter pendant on Etsy, 18K solid for $88! I don't care that it doesn't have diamonds, I really just want the letter (its' for my daughter's name - see avatar).

Now what i need is a nice beaded chain like they show it with. I think I want it long - like 22 - 24".

I've been doing some web searches, but keep coming up with kind of cheesy sites.

Any advice?! TIA!!!

Look at Etsy, in the supply section (and maybe handmade under gold ball necklace or chain). Search for ball chain. You may find a finished necklace in the supply section and that would be best for you, unless you want to buy a clasp and try to do it yourself. I would avoid the 1mm size, as that is really delicate and light. It will likely be gold filled or plated v. solid gold though.

Maybe something like these:

Gold plated chain:

Gold filled chain (a bit more durable and not as brassy):

HTH!

Maybe. I'd search handmade then, using 14kt gold ball chain or 14kt gold beaded chain OR the same start term replacing "14kt" with solid. Etsy can be a pain to navigate at times, so try multiple terms. I think it will be tougher to find in a solid gold chain.

Here is a listing w/ just a simple pearl pendant, but the chain is solid 14kt gold:

I just did a google search and not much came up at all. I've never seen that type of chain available at a local jeweler either.

I found this:

I know nothing about the store though...

Have you messaged your seller about a chain? Maybe she has access to some?
