Quick Links™ chain can be used with Quick Links™ links and connectors to create custom chain designs in minutes. Use multiple layers, cut the chain to shortened lengths, and join individual links with connectors to make one-of-a-kind jewelry.

First, select a style of pre-made chain. Next, decide which links you want to add to mix it up. To add the links to the chain, use chain nose pliers to open one side of a connector. Remove the existing link and add your new one. Close the connector. Repeat this technique for the other side of your new link and to add any other extra links.

When you reach the end of the design, an EZ-Lobster™ clasp eliminates the need for a jump ring to attach the clasp. Thread the chain onto the open loop and use chain nose or nose pliers to close it.

Mix your new Quick Links™ chain with bead links, jump rings and solid rings to create more fabulous, customized designs!
