Need help matching charms and chain

[Former_Member]

Hi guys, I need some expert help. I'm new at this and want to expand my shop to include charm necklaces. I'm looking for a chain to match my antique silver tone and antique tibetan silver tone charms. I ordered silver plated and that was a huge flop, it's way too shiny and sticks out too much compared to my charms.
I saw silver tone chains, would that be less shiny and a little darker?

Any advice is greatly appreciated. Thanks.

Fire Mountain sells unfinished chain by the foot in both "antiqued" silver plate and "gun metal" plate. You just cut to length and add the clasp.

Thanks Julie. I will check them out for sure. Does unfinished still mean ready for use? Just wondering.

Unfinished means that you buy the chain by the foot, cut the chain to length and add the clasps and end jump rings. This is a much more economical way to buy chain, you can make it whatever length you want and, bonus, Etsy considers the chains to be "made" by you so that you can sell the chains alone if you want.

You can buy antiqued silver plated chain. It's fairly common. I'd stay away from "silver tone" chains. They'd be too bright for your charms.
