Hi everyone,
I hope you’re all doing reasonably well, and that the
perennially-promised arrival of the red-suited fat guy bodes well
for us all, in the days to come! I’m writing because I’m in need of
a source for either 18kt palladium white gold, or plumb palladium
chains, for clients whose skins are extremely reactive to
nickel-based alloys. I’ve checked with Stuller and Hoover & Strong,
but the former doesn’t carry anything, at all, and the latter only
has access to the most diminutive of sizes (a total of four styles,
one size per style, up to 2.00mm, and none longer than 16").
Ideally, what I’m seeking is a 22" long, 4.0 to 4.5mm flattened curb
chain (x 2mm thick), and an 18", 2.5mm round twisted rope. For lack
of any other alternatives, I’ve ordered.999 fine titanium chains for
them, but am not sure they’ll appreciate the metal’s gunmetal grey
color, especially when combined with the 18k.y.g. and palladium
pendants I’ve had cast for them. Do any of you have any
recommendations?
Appreciatively,
