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.
