Our take on the Rolo Chain

The Rolo Chain is a 216-inch spool of 4mm rolo chain in shiny silver, sold as a continuous length rather than a finished necklace. Rolo links are round and uniform, which gives a clean, classic look and makes the chain easy to cut and finish with your own clasps or connectors. At 18 feet, one spool covers many bracelets or several necklaces, so it suits crafters and small makers more than someone buying a single piece of jewelry. It is rated for ages 16 and up.

Questions and answers

Is this a finished necklace or loose chain?
It is loose chain on a 216-inch spool. You cut it to length and add your own clasp, jump rings or connectors to finish a necklace or bracelet.
What size links does 4mm mean here?
The chain is listed at 4mm thickness, a medium-light rolo that works well for bracelets and lighter necklaces. It is not a heavy chain for large pendants.
How many bracelets can I get from one spool?
A typical 7-inch bracelet uses about 7 inches of chain, so an 18-foot spool can yield roughly 30 bracelets before clasps. Necklaces use more, so expect fewer pieces if you mix sizes.
Will the shiny silver finish tarnish?
Silver-toned plated chain can darken over time, especially with sweat and perfume. Store finished pieces dry and avoid wearing them in water to slow tarnish.
What else do I need to finish it?
You need clasps, jump rings and jewelry pliers, plus crimps or cord ends if you are not soldering. None of those are included with the chain.
When is the best time to buy a spool like this?
Craft chain spools tend to dip during holiday sales and back-to-school craft promotions. Check the price history before buying a large quantity.
