Flat Mesh Chain: Maximum Flexibility

Flat Mesh Chain is a favorite for jewelry artists who love movement, texture, and bold, metallic beauty. Made from ultra-fine, permanently enameled copper wire, this unique chain is machine-knit into a soft tubular mesh and then pressed flat, creating a ribbon-like profile that’s flexible, strong, and effortlessly elegant. With its delicate drape and shimmering surface, Flat Mesh Chain blends the durability of metal with the intricate look of handwoven textiles. Whether you're looking to add new dimension to your designs or searching for your next signature material, this chain is ready to inspire your jewelry making journey.

 

 

Flexibility and Brilliance: Flat Mesh

How SilverSilk Flat Mesh Chain is Made
SilverSilk Flat Mesh Chain is created using a custom-engineered machine that knits thin copper wire—as fine as a strand of human hair—into a soft tubular mesh. That mesh is then gently pressed flat between two rollers, transforming it into a sleek, ribbon-like chain with beautiful drape and movement. Eight tiny latch-hook needles work together to make each stitch perfectly consistent, creating a durable chain that won’t fray or unravel when cut. The 99.9% copper wire is permanently enameled and tarnish-resistant, offering vibrant color and long-lasting shine. With no inner core, Flat Mesh Chain feels feather-light while still delivering the strength and beauty of metal.
