Where did you get your adjustable chain?

I'm looking for a palladium or platinum and a rose gold one.

Would it be easier to get an 18" and make adjustable or get a 16" and have it made to be adjustable? Is that something DK can do?

TIA!

I have one similar to this.

The first one I got from Kay Jewelers. It was very pretty and looked perfect with my pendant but within a few days it had lost it's hold and was slipping.

DH ordered the next one on-line (don't remember the store but he might) and it is doing great after a year.

The jeweler that made my pendant suggested adding rings to an 18" chain (at 16" and 17") but I wanted maximum flexibility so went with the ball type instead. I'm glad I did...it is easy to adjust but yet holds very tight and I don't have to try to fumble around trying to clasp in the right spot.

Here are a few links for rose gold...don't know about the vendors though...

Interesting. I would have figured it would be easier to add length to a 16", but your jeweler said adding rings to an 18" is easier.

I think BTD sells Palladium chains. So I might just go with them. I have a 14k WG chain, but it does irritate my skin.

I make my own chains, it's pretty to make them adjustable by just adding a section onto the back with bigger loops, that way I can make it 16-17.5 with every size in between available also.

Where do you find the bigger loops? I love your idea Turks. That's the perfect idea.
