Links and Connectors
Wholesale Links & Connectors
Sun Enterprises' wholesale Links and Connectors are joining components that extend, connect, or decorate your jewellery designs. Unlike clasps (which open and close to fasten a piece on and off) and jump rings (which are simple wire loops), links and connectors are fixed structural elements — they join two or more cord or chain ends, provide decorative centrepieces for multi-strand designs, or serve as the closure mechanism for ball chain necklaces.
161 products across six types, in stainless steel and zamak, covering sizes from 2mm up to 45mm. Steel is the dominant finish (76 products), followed by rose gold (23 products) and silver (37 products).
Connector Types
- Decorative – Ornate (52 products) — patterned or surface-detailed connectors used as visible design elements between cord sections or at the centre of multi-strand pieces
- Plain Classic (43 products) — minimal bar, plate, or loop connectors; versatile structural components for clean, understated designs
- Others (21 products) — specialist connector types outside the main categories
- Gems (18 products) — connectors set with gemstones or crystal elements; adds a decorative focal point to the connection itself
- Ball Chain End Clasps (8 products) — specifically designed to terminate a ball chain necklace; press the chain ball into the clasp to fasten
- Numbers and Letters (10 products) — personalised alphabet and numeral connectors for name bracelets and monogram jewellery

Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between a connector and a clasp?
A clasp opens and closes to allow the piece to be put on and removed — it is the functional fastening mechanism. A connector is a fixed component that permanently joins two or more cord or chain ends, or provides a decorative centrepiece in a multi-strand design. Connectors are typically used alongside clasps rather than instead of them, though some decorative connector forms double as a visible centrepiece that also functions as the closure.
How are ball chain end clasps used?
Ball chain end clasps are designed for ball chain necklaces. The final ball on the chain is pressed into the clasp housing, which grips it securely. The opposite end of the chain connects to the same or a second clasp to complete the closure. Check individual product pages for the ball diameter they accept.
What are letter and number connectors?
Letter and number connectors are shaped findings that spell out initials, numbers, or dates. They thread onto a leather cord or chain and are used to create personalised bracelets and necklaces. We stock 10 personalised connector products in this range — see also our logo tags for branded options.
