Beaded Chain
Beaded chain, known as ball chain or bead chain, is made up of hollow metal balls connected by short rods. This construction allows extreme flexibility, easy cutting, and prevents kinking.
Common uses are key chains, lanyards, canteen caps, fine jewelry, apparel trim, window shade pull chain, fishing tackle, plumbing applications, shower curtains, and hospital privacy curtains.
