Solid 10kt Gold Black Enamel Cable Flat Chain By the Inch

Our Black Enamel Cable Flat Oval Chain in solid 10kt gold is the perfect choice for cute and dainty jewelry.  Cable Link Measurement: OD: 1.37mm x 2.01mm Thickness: 0.40mm, 26ga ID: 0.66mm What gauge wire to use: Up to 22ga, 0.64mm Recommended: Link is very small. Best to wire wrap if not soldering. If soldering / welding: 2.5mm 24ga , 3mm 24ga Enamel Measurement: Avg. Size: 2.03mm. These small enamel beads might slightly differ in size and shape. Spacing between beads averages 8.37mm About Enamel: The enamel beads are fused to the chain with high heat. They are long lasting, however if high pressure is applied, these beads can break or crack. If exposed to chemicals, you may see discolouring. Recommended Findings for the White Enamel Cable: Clasps: 4.5mm Spring Ring Clasp Soldered ring (closed): 4-5mm soldered ring How Dapped Chains Are Made: Dapped chains begin as standard machine-made chains, such as cable or curb styles. These chains pass through precision steel rolling stamps called dapping tools, which mechanically flatten—or “dap”—one or both sides of each individual link. This process adds a mirror-like shine or a delicate faceted texture, all without using cutting tools to shape the metal. Because dapping reshapes rather than removes metal, it preserves the surface integrity, an essential benefit for materials like gold filled. During production, the chain’s link dimensions may vary slightly, usually within ±5% to account for compression, stretching, or normal wire gauge differences. For instance, a 2.00 mm link may measure between 1.90 mm and 2.10 mm. As a result, some recommended jump rings may fit more tightly than others. However, the end link will always accommodate a 26ga jump ring. View Abbreviation Guide Tips, Tricks and How To's! Follow Stones and Findings on YouTube
