The chain is fine...but I ordered the wrong size. Nine links of the chain I ordered equals six of the size I wanted. My error...
How can I straighten out the springs? I can't use them coil uo as is.

When your project demands a material that holds crisp edges, solders cleanly, and develops a warm golden patina over time, finding the right brass sheet in the exact thickness you need can be frustrating. Whether you are a jeweller shaping bezels and findings, a maker building decorative inlays, or a hobbyist tackling small-scale fabrication, having a reliable source of flat, true-gauge brass stock is the foundation of clean work.
These brass sheet metal plates are composed of copper-zinc alloy (commonly C260 cartridge brass), supplied in a flat, mill-finish condition. Thickness options span 0.5 mm (0.020 in) through 6 mm (0.236 in), and sheet dimensions range from 50 × 50 mm (approx. 2 × 2 in) up to 300 × 300 mm (approx. 11.8 × 11.8 in). Each piece is cut to the selected size and packed in quantities of 1, 2, or 5 pieces per order.
Typical applications include jewellery components such as pendants, clasps, and sheet bezels; decorative metalwork and etching blanks; model-making and scale fabrication; electrical shielding and grounding tabs; and craft projects requiring thin brass sheet metal that can be cut, drilled, stamped, or formed by hand.
Available from 0.5 mm to 6 mm, covering ultra-thin foil-weight stock for jewellery findings up to structural-grade plate for heavier fabrication tasks.
Choose from 50 × 50 mm up to 300 × 300 mm — minimising waste by letting you order only the footprint your project actually requires.
Copper-zinc composition delivers good ductility for bending and forming, consistent colour, and reliable solderability — key properties for jewellery making and decorative work.
Order 1, 2, or 5 pieces per size. Multi-piece packs offer a per-unit saving and ensure you have spares for prototyping or batch production.
Supplied flat with a consistent mill finish that accepts patination, polishing, etching, and plating without additional surface preparation steps.
Brass machines cleanly with standard tooling, bends without cracking at thinner gauges, and can be drilled, stamped, or laser-cut to shape for a wide range of DIY metalwork applications.

For delicate findings, bezels, and sheet pendants, 0.5 mm–1 mm is typically used as it can be cut with jeweller's shears and formed by hand. For structural components such as clasps or frames that need to hold shape under wear, 1.2 mm–2 mm offers more rigidity. Thicker gauges (3 mm–6 mm) are better suited to engraving blanks, heavier decorative pieces, or non-jewellery fabrication tasks.
Yes. Thinner gauges (0.5 mm–1.5 mm) can be cut cleanly with tin snips, jeweller's saws, or heavy-duty scissors. Thicker sheets (2 mm and above) are best cut with a hacksaw, angle grinder, or CNC router. Laser cutting works well across all thicknesses listed.
Brass has moderate corrosion resistance. It will develop a natural patina over time when exposed to air and moisture, which many makers find desirable. For wearable pieces that contact skin regularly, applying a clear lacquer or jewellery-grade sealant will help maintain the finish and reduce tarnishing. Brass is not recommended for prolonged submersion in water without a protective coating.
Select the sheet size closest to your finished part dimensions to minimise waste. For small findings and components, 50 × 50 mm or 50 × 100 mm sheets are economical. For larger pendants, decorative panels, or multiple smaller parts cut from one sheet, 100 × 200 mm or 200 × 300 mm options give you more working area. The 300 × 300 mm sheet is ideal for batch cutting or larger decorative applications.
Yes. Brass solders well with standard soft solder (tin-lead or lead-free) and silver solder, making it a popular choice for jewellery fabrication. Brazing is also possible. Welding brass requires MIG or TIG equipment with appropriate filler wire; for most jewellery and craft applications, soldering is the preferred joining method.
Sheets are supplied in a flat, mill-finish condition. Thinner gauges (0.5 mm–1 mm) may develop minor handling marks during transit; if flatness is critical, a light pass with a rubber mallet on a flat surface or a brief run through a rolling mill will restore them. Thicker sheets (2 mm and above) are inherently more rigid and arrive flat.
Yes — the 5-piece pack offers a lower per-unit cost compared to ordering individual pieces, making it a practical choice for batch projects, prototyping multiple iterations, or stocking up on a frequently used size. The 2-piece pack sits in between and is useful when you need a spare without committing to a full set of five.
