Why is the rope chain so popular?Rope chains are not only one of the most popular types of chains, but they are also one of the most durable, heavy, and textural types of chains as well. This means they are quite strong, even for the thinner rope chains, and they won't come apart easily. A rope chain is said to last more than a lifetime
This type of chain was created from interlocking oval links of the same size. These cable links are fairly easy to make and work well with delicate pendants. Did you know: the word “cable” stems from the Latin words capulum (lasso, rope) and capere (to take).
