Jewelry customers buy jewelry chains in brass, titanium, and stainless steel when they're looking for attractive and economical alternatives to precious metal jewelry chains. Our base metal chain styles and designs include cable, panda, box, wheat, and bead chains.

What makes sense to sell: Titanium, Stainless Steel, or Wholesale Brass Jewelry Chains?

There are numerous reasons to opt for base metal chains rather than precious metal chains for jewelry.

• Titanium: lightweight, durable, and understated; titanium is highly biocompatible, making it one of the most comfortable jewelry metals available
• Stainless Steel: durable, low-maintenance, and substantive; stainless steel won't tarnish, is accessibly priced, and is very biocompatible, so it won't irritate sensitive skin, even after extended wear
• Brass: stylish, versatile, and durable; brass is a popular option for warmer styles that will hold up to frequent use, although it requires regular polishing and may discolor or irritate the skin
  

The right base metal chain depends on the qualities you're looking for in a finished piece. In addition to titanium, both brass and steel chains are hypoallergenic and highly durable. As relatively affordable alternatives to expensive precious metals, base metal chains are often used in jewelry making and are easily customized with various findings and charms.

Choosing between base metals often depends on the price and the aesthetic you're trying to create. Titanium and stainless steel are popular alternatives to cooler toned metals like platinum, white gold, and silver, whereas brass is commonly chosen as an alternative to warmer toned metals, like gold. Having a type of customer in mind will help you determine how you should stock base metal chains.

As always, when ordering bulk spooled chains, you must both specify your desired chain length(s) and also add jump rings and clasps to the custom cut chain to create a finished piece. Jump rings and clasp types, such as lobster clasps, are essential components for assembling and completing jewelry chains.
