Skip the measuring, cutting, and guesswork. These pre-assembled Double Chain Connectors give you perfectly matched chain lengths with a centered top connection every time.
Each finding is made fromĀ one continuous chain with:
- a 4 mm jump ring at the center (attaches to your stud finding)
- 6 mm jump rings at each end (attach to your clay piece)
Sizing
Available in: 3 cm, 4 cm, 5 cm, 6 cm
Measurements refer to the full chain length when laid flat.
When worn, the drop is approximately half the listed length.
Please note: Chain links are ~2 mm, so lengths are approximate. The 4 mm center ring is always placed at the true midpoint.

Material and Colors
All of the connectors are made of 304 grade stainless steel.
- Silver: Natural stainless steel color ā not silver plated. Durable and highly tarnish resistant.
- Gold:Ā Stainless steel base with double PVD gold plating for excellent durability and long-lasting color.
Why is the gold chain more expensive?
The gold version features a double PVD gold coating over stainless steel. This finish is far more durable than traditional gold plating and is designed to withstand everyday wear. I wore test samples for several months, including in the shower and at the beach, and was impressed by how well the finish held up.
Quantity per Package
- Single size: 10 findings (5 pairs)

Are these findings hypoallergenic?
Are these findings hypoallergenic?
The findings are made from stainless steel, which is considered hypoallergenic for most people due to its low nickel. However, they are not nickel-free and may still cause reactions in individuals with severe nickel sensitivities. To learn more about what "hypoallergenic" means and how different metals affect sensitive skin, check out our detailed guide: What Does Hypoallergenic Really Mean?
Are these findings tarnish-proof?
Are these findings tarnish-proof?
The gold findings are PVD plated, making them highly tarnish-resistant and more durable than standard plating. While they are designed to maintain their finish for a long time, they are not entirely tarnish-proof. To keep them in the best condition, avoid exposure to water, sweat, perfumes, and harsh chemicals.
Are these findings nickel-free?
Are these findings nickel-free?
No, these findings are not nickel-free. Stainless steel contains trace amounts of nickel. However, its excellent corrosion resistance significantly reduces nickel release, making it suitable for most individuals with mild sensitivities. For those with severe nickel allergies, we recommend exploring truly nickel-free options like titanium or niobium.
Why is gold more expensive than silver?
Why is gold more expensive than silver?
Our gold findings are made from stainless steel with double PVD gold plating, a premium finish that is significantly more durable and longer-lasting than standard plating.
The āsilverā version is natural stainless steel (not plated), which is already very strong and tarnish resistant.
The additional materials and processing required for the gold finish make it more expensive to produce.
What makes PVD coating better than standard plating?
What makes PVD coating better than standard plating?
PVD (Physical Vapor Deposition) coating is a high-quality finishing process that applies a thin, durable layer of material onto a surface. This process enhances the appearance and increases the resistance to tarnishing, scratches, and corrosion. PVD-coated findings are highly durable and maintain their color and finish much longer than standard plating. However, to prolong their life, it is still recommended to avoid exposure to water, sweat, and harsh chemicals.
