    I just received a call from someone who wants some 1mm 24K gold
    chain, nothing fancy in the weave needed. It can be up to 1.5mm, he
    says, and he only wants seven inches of it for his purpose. I've
    made simple chain, just a series of loops, and soldered them closed,
    but it's horrifically labor intensive and I know that it's more
    economical to just buy machine-made. Is there a source for 24K
    chains that have every link soldered or fused? I doubt I could
    produce his seven inches in less than eight to twelve hours of bench
    work, at least at the speed I was going the last time I did any, and
    I'll be very happy to steer this guy to a less expensive solution.
