Anzor Stainless Steel Straight Link Chain 3mm x 16mm

The SS Straight Link Chain from Anzor blends durable performance with a clean, minimalist aesthetic. Crafted from corrosion‑resistant 316 stainless steel, this chain is built to withstand coastal moisture, humidity, and outdoor conditions while maintaining a subtle, unobtrusive silhouette. Measuring a 3 mm link diameter with a 16 mm internal opening, it offers versatile connection options for a wide range of craft, hardware, and decorative applications. Sold by the metre (Product Code CHM60316), you can order exactly what you need to minimize waste and keep your project on track.

Why this chain stands out

• 316 stainless steel durability provides excellent corrosion resistance, ideal for outdoor displays, garden installations, or marine-adjacent projects.
• Sleek 3 mm gauge delivers a discreet, refined look that won’t overpower delicate charms, clasps, or decorative elements.
• 16 mm internal opening accommodates a wide range of connectors—jump rings, rings, hooks, and clasps—without crowding or binding.
• Metre-length convenience lets you scale your material precisely to the project, reducing waste and optimizing workflow.
• Safety context not rated for lifting; uses a safety factor guide of ~25% of the breaking load to guide non‑structural, decorative, and display uses.

Ideal applications

• Jewelry making and fashion accessories that require a slim, understated chain to support charms, pendants, or clasps.
• Decorative installations and displays indoors or outdoors—garden ornaments, signage, or artistic hangings where moisture resistance matters.
• Small-scale functional hardware such as keychains, lanyards, and lightweight display fixtures.

Practical tips for best results

• Cutting and finishing: use a fine saw or bolt cutters for clean cuts, then deburr edges to prevent snagging on fabric or skin.
• Joining and hardware: pair with connectors that fit the 3 mm gauge—jump rings, small hooks, or rings designed for 3 mm links for secure, seamless assemblies.
• Care and storage: rinse after exposure to salt spray or chemicals, dry thoroughly, and store in a dry environment to preserve the finish over time.
• Safety planning: if the chain carries weight, perform a load assessment and establish a safety factor beyond the 25% guideline to match your specific use case.
