Our Extender Chains

Our Sterling Silver Extender Chains

We’ve spent years researching, finding, and selling Silver Jewelry from all over the world and we have, after these many years, settled on Italy as the #1 source for Sterling Silver Chains. Anyone can find silver chains all over. At the mall, at the jewelry store, etc. And many of those also come from Italy. But our Jewelry is different from all others. Each Chain has been designed by us specifically and therefore it is not your "normal" Sterling Silver Jewelry. We have spent years listening to our customers talk about what their Ideal Silver Chain would be like. Strong, does not pull my hair, is shiny and bright, does not knot or kink easily, gets me many compliments, and more. We then scoured the Factories in Italy and there are lots of them. We narrowed it down to just a couple of them who's quality is something we can be proud of and we have branded our own "recipe" to make up these superior chains. Including the exact specifications of cut, color, strength, clasp types and connector ring size, and more. Each one of our chains has been designed directly by us and is superior to what can be found in Department and Jewelry Stores.

We recently introduced our Sterling Silver Extender CHains at the request of many customers who wanted to keep the chain(s) they had and just add one or a few inches to the drop of the chains. These extender chains do the trick and we offer them individually in 1/2 inch increments AND also in 1-3-5" sets and 2-4-6 Inch sets.

Enjoy!

Our Family Business

Our Sterling Silver Chains

Mary Elizabeth and I have been in the Jewelry Business for over 30 years and through those years have heard many comments and complaints from people about buying Jewelry from Retail Jewelry stores. We have heard those comments and have set about to upgrade and help our customers deal with some issues involving Sterling Silver Jewelry

One issue is and has always been tarnishing. As an issue, oxidation has been at the forefront of people’s resistance to buy and wear Sterling Silver Jewelry. Silver tarnishes. Some companies for years plated their silver with Nickel which is beautiful, shiny, and does not tarnish. But recently it has come to light that people are many times allergic to this metal. So lately Rhodium from the platinum family of metals was used. There are other coatings which to a greater or lesser extent slow or try to stop the tarnishing process. However, all the methods have downsides to them. Most notably is the fact that if Silver is plated with a super thin coat of another metal or e-coating or any sort of anti-tarnish agent, its plating starts to erode and come off over time and the result is far worse than simple tarnishing and can ruin the Silver Jewelry altogether. We opted for a far different approach.

We do not plate ANY of our Jewelry with any sort of anti-tarnish coating. Instead we supply (with every order and upon request) a simple homemade how-to guide on how to get rid of not only future tarnish on your Silver Jewelry, but this works on ALL Silver - Jewelry Flatware - all of it and it is done with simple household ingredients you most likely already have at your house. You will get the recipe right along with your Jewelry purchase from us on every order.

UPDATE: We DO now offer Rhodium Plated Sterling Silver Box Chains, just click on the brand name at the top of this page in blue (Designer Sterling Silver) to see all our Chains.
