Hat Rack › Chains, rings, studs and bracelets

Plain jewellery on the last hook: chains, rings, studs and a bracelet

Small, light and easy to add to any parcel, jewellery is also the hardest thing on this rack to judge from photos. These eight pieces were picked for plain shapes and readable photos, priced as the catalogue showed them on 20 October 2026.

Chains, bands and studs: what plain means on this hook

Plain here means a piece that reads as its shape rather than as a logo: a snake chain, a curb chain, a slim bangle, a small stud. The chains on this hook are photographed worn in nine shots, which shows length better than any number. Snake chains are smooth tubes that lie flat; curb chains are flattened interlocking links; fine link chains are the thinnest and the easiest to tangle.

Rings come as a full circle with a fixed size, or open at the back so they bend to fit, like the belt-buckle ring. Bangles are rigid, sometimes hinged; bracelets are flexible. Studs sit on the earlobe with a post and a back; drops hang below it.

Charm bracelets are sold dressed with charms in the photos. Read the option list to see whether the charms come with the chain or cost extra.

Metal words and stone words on jewellery listings

项链 (xiàngliàn) is a necklace, 戒指 (jièzhi) a ring, 耳钉 (ěrdīng) a stud earring, 耳环 an earring that hangs, 手链 a bracelet and 手镯 a bangle. 吊坠 is a pendant. These titles almost always add a metal word, and that is where care is needed.

925银 claims sterling silver; 镀金 means gold-plated, a thin coat over another metal; 钛钢 is a trade name for a stainless steel; 合金 is an alloy, usually a cheaper base. 玫瑰金 is rose gold in colour, not necessarily in content. Stones follow: 锆石 is cubic zirconia, 水晶 crystal, 玛瑙 agate. A photo can show colour and shine; it cannot show what a metal is or whether a stone is what the title says.

Plated pieces wear through at contact points with time. If a listing at these prices says solid gold, read it as a colour description.

Scale, clasps and the photos that show them

Scale is the hardest thing to read in jewellery photos, because a stud shot close up on white fills the frame whatever its size. Worn photos solve that: the pink-stone studs are shown against an ear, the pendant on a model's neck, the chains on chests. Where a listing has no worn photo, look for anything in the shot with a known size, such as a box, a finger or a coin.

Clasps are where low-priced jewellery fails first. A lobster clasp, the hinged hook with a spring, holds better than a spring ring; a magnetic clasp is easy to use but can open under a snag. Earring backs should be shown; butterfly backs are standard, and rubber backs are easy to lose.

After purchase, ask for a photo of the clasp open and shut, and one of the piece beside a ruler. Those two images answer most of what the listing did not.

Small parcels, parcel cover and the jewellery exclusion

Jewellery is the lightest thing an agent ships and the easiest to lose in a big box. In practice buyers ask the warehouse to keep each piece in its own bag and to pack small pieces inside a larger item, such as a hat crown, rather than loose.

One archived detail is worth knowing. AllChinaBuy's paid parcel cover, as its help centre described it in August 2026, listed jewellery, jade, artwork and gold jewellery among the valuable items it would not insure. Agents taking orders now write their own exclusion lists, and jewellery often appears on them; read that list before you count on cover for a parcel of rings. The full cover terms are on the order costs page.

Plated pieces can tarnish in damp transit. A small zip bag per piece costs nothing and keeps them from scratching each other.
