Anodized Alunimum 4 to 5mm Ball Chain

Jewelry Discussion
#1

Good day to everyone. By chance, does anyone know a source for
colored Anodized Aluminum ball chain, ball being 4 to 5mm size, in
spools of approximately 100ft ? Unfortunately I have only found one
source & they only sell in 500ft spools. Thank you for your
assistance. Cat catbleu@aol.com

Cat, p. 7, Metalliferous base metals catalog: #6(3.2mm)/$120.00,
#10(4.8mm)/$139.50. The catalog’s fairly recent but the prices,
obviously may have changed. They’ve got: black, blue, copper, lime,
green, red, rose, yellow, turquoise, teal, violet, and grey.

I’ve often thought about using aluminum ball chain but thought it
would be too light. And, If you had something sliding along it,
wouldn’t the color eventually be scratched/worn off?
