Link Metals
We can provide sample links to those concerned about metal allergies, but we need to know which product line you are interested in.

Light-weight Aluminum
Our aluminum alloy is perfect for fashions and jewelry. It is comfortably light-weight, yet is almost as strong as steel. It's shiny surface barely dulls with age. Some fashions, like our densely-woven bikini tops, are only made out of this metal because of these properties.
Gold-tone Brass
We spent a long time searching for a high-quality gold-toned wire. The high brass alloy that we found is strong with a shiny golden color. It does darken slightly with age to a beautiful antique finish. If this is undesirable, a quick cleaning with jewelers' rouge will restore it's original luster. Human skin types differ greatly from person to person, but it is exceedingly rare to find anyone whose skin has any problem wearing this fine alloy. (Brass items are made with gold-tone findings)

Steel is usually galvanized unless specified. We do not work in stainless.
Galvanized Steel
These links are spun from the finest galvanized steel wire we have yet to encounter. It's shiny finish can darken with age, a quality which adds to the look of some designs. Unlike some less expensive brands, it's plating neither flakes nor corrodes. (There is absolutely NO danger involved in wearing this metal against your skin. Rumors to this effect stem from the fact that breathing the fumes from burning galvanized steel is dangerous)
Tinned/Tin-plated Steel
We recently discovered this wire. Tin-plating is sometimes referred to as an imitation rhodium finish by jewelry manufacturers. It is interchangeable with our galvanized steel. This metal option is a great alternative for those who have an allergic reaction to a galvanized finish.

The above are ¼" ID (occasionally 5/16") butted links which we shear cut ourselves, exclusively for use in our own products. Each has beautifully flush (flat) edges, and we take care to close them properly so they won't grab hair or scratch. Some claim that saw cut is better, but we must disagree. Our rings close perfectly, without the gap often left by a saw blade.

Nickel-plated Steel
Steel plated with bright nickel, these larger links are very shiny and do not dull at all.
Gunmetal Finish
The gunmetal finish gives our larger steel links a sinister, dark shine.
Gilt Finish
Gilt finished rings are a shiny golden color which does not tarnish with age.
