Chains your customers haven't seen at every other booth.
We run a permanent jewelry bar in Fresno. We stock the chains that sell at our own counter, plus styles that are hard to find from the big suppliers. Buy by the foot, so trying something new is a small bet.
The hard part isn't finding chain.
Every bar looks the same.
Most artists buy from the same few suppliers. So a customer sees your chains at three other tables first. Then the only thing left to compete on is price.
Some chain just sits.
It looked great in the catalog. Nobody picks it. Now it's money sitting in a drawer.
New styles feel risky.
You want something fresh on your bar. But you don't know if your customers will go for it, so you play it safe again.
We deal with the same things at our own bar. So we built the supply shop we wanted.
We're artists first. The supply shop came second.
Styles you won't see everywhere
We find chains overseas that most US suppliers don't carry. Think pearl, tennis-style and new colors. Your bar gets something the booth next to you doesn't have.
We see what sells, every day
We weld at our Fresno store all week. We see which chains customers reach for and which ones they skip. That's how we decide what to stock.
Buy a foot, not a fortune
Try a new style with one foot. If your customers love it, come back for more. If not, you didn't lose much.
Our two best sellers are Paperclip and Valentino.
Building a bar from scratch? Start with those two. Then add one or two styles nobody else in your area has. That's what makes people stop at your table.
Shop the chains
We picked 10 chains for you.
Our Chain Starter Kit is a ready-made bar. It mixes safe best sellers with a few styles that stand out.
Don't buy the machine yet.
Spend one day at our Fresno store first. Learn welding, sizing, pricing and how to set up your bar. Then buy only what you need.
Questions
Who are these supplies for?
Permanent jewelry artists, salons, lash and nail studios, boutiques and pop-up sellers. If you weld bracelets, anklets or necklaces, this is for you.
Can I really buy just one foot?
Yes. Each chain page shows the lengths you can buy. Start small, see how it sells, then order more.
What metals do you carry?
14K gold filled, sterling silver, stainless steel and gold-tone stainless. Every listing says exactly which one it is.
Starter kit or single chains?
If you know the styles you want, buy single chains. If you'd rather skip the guessing, the kit gives you 10 styles we already picked.
Can I ask you what to order?
Sure. Email us at hello@prettypickie.com and tell us where you sell. We'll tell you what works at our bar.
