Gold plated chain is a great alternative to solid or gold-filled chains. The core is a hypoallergenic brass chain, electroplated with a gold alloy, then clear coated with acrylic to help seal the plating. This provides a high quality gold-plated chain without the crazy cost of solid gold. With over a hundred styles to choose from, these wholesale spools of gold electroplated chain are one of our most popular products for bead stores and jewelry designers.
