Pipe Chain is SilverSilk’s most stylish jewelry chain. So, what is Pipe Chain?
SilverSilk Pipe Chain is a revolutionary knitted wire jewelry chain. It’s made by knitting wire as thin as human hair over a 3mm silicone rubber tube. The result is a stunning 3mm knitted wire cord that has a 1.5mm hole through the center of the chain. 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. The silicone tube allows for beading wire, leather cord, craft wire, memory wire to easily string though center of the tubing, as long as it fits the 1.5mm diameter size limit.
A custom-made machine with six 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 Pipe Chain joins the strength and beauty of metal with the intricacy of finely woven knit and the design versatility of the silicone tube.
