Find great Antique Copper Chain by the Foot (sometimes called Copper Ox Chain or Oxidized Copper Chain) at OhioBeads.com.

These Antique Copper Ox Chains are plated chains -- antique copper plating over brass -- which are great for an alternative to sterling and gold-filled chains, without the higher price of the precious metals.

Antique Copper Chain has grown in popularity for the rich rosy-brown to dark brown colors and for the cost, especially with the sustained prices of silver and gold for the last 12 months.

Some different beads we have mixed with the antique copper include Swarovski Vintage Rose, Swarovski Crystal Copper and Swarovski Crystal Golden Shadow crystals and Swarovski Plantation Green Opal. Natural stones to consider mixing with Antique Copper Ox include red paintbrush jasper, Carnelian, Copperstone, and some Apple Jasper.

Note on Plated Metals:

The colors and tones of plated metals are determined by a large number of factors including the material to be plated, the mix of plating chemicals, the method of plating, the time the metal is in contact with the plating chemicals, etc.

Therefore, there will be variations in plates of the same name between different batches.
