Capture Chain is SilverSilk’s thinnest jewelry chain. So, what is 3-Needle?
SilverSilk 3-Needle Chain is a revolutionary knitted wire jewelry chain. It’s made by knitting wire as thin as human hair into a delicately woven chain. The result is a stunning 1.5mm knitted wire chain that is an absolute joy to work with. The 32-gauge, 99.9% copper wire is permanently enameled and is tarnish-resistant for long-lasting jewelry. Plus, the unique elasticity of the knit lends a luxurious free-flowing feel to the jewelry chain.
A custom-made machine with three tiny latch-hook needles stitches the wire into a perfectly consistent, durable chain that you can cut to any length. And there's no need to worry about fraying or unraveling! SilverSilk Capture Chain joins the strength and beauty of metal with the intricacy of finely woven knit.
