Dog tag silver ball chain 2mm

Ball chain threads small round beads onto a fine connecting link at regular spacing, so the line breaks into points of light rather than running unbroken. The beads measure 2mm and the whole chain is sterling silver 925 — the dog tag format, made in silver instead of the usual steel.

Two millimetres gives it enough substance to hang a tag, a ring or a mid-weight pendant, and the bead spacing lets a pendant slide without catching. Four lengths cover most preferences: 40cm (16″), 45cm (18″), 50cm (20″) and 55cm (22″). The 55cm is the one for an actual dog tag, since it lets the tag hang clear of a shirt collar.

Italian production, solid sterling silver with no plate over the top. Beads dull in the recesses first, so a silver cloth worked along the chain does more than a quick rub across it. It goes out on an insured Express Post service to Australian addresses.
