How to choose how to enlarge a chain link?

The choice of how to enlarge a chain link depends on the desired length, the link, the weight of the pendant, and the desired style.

A thin chain will highlight a discreet pendant, while a more prominent link will give a bolder look. Also, remember to check the finish and compatibility with clasps and rings.

To complete your creations, also consult our guides dedicated to DIY jewelry chains, jewelry chains, and jewelry findings.

FAQs

When should a chain link be enlarged?

Slightly enlarge a link when a ring, clasp or pendant does not pass through easily. This operation should be occasional and delicate to avoid weakening or deforming the chain.

What's the difference between opening a jump ring and adding a jump ring?

Opening a link directly alters the chain and can weaken it if it's delicate. Adding a jump ring is often neater and more secure, especially for attaching a pendant, charm, or clasp.

What tool should I use to enlarge a stitch without damaging it?

Use two flat-nose pliers, or one flat-nose plier and one round-nose plier. The ring should be opened sideways, without pulling outwards, in order to preserve its shape and strength.
