Chain: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.24 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $5.24 at volume. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity
| Order size | Median /unit |
|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $5.24 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $5.24 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $5.24 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $5.24 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $5.24 |
| 100,000+ units | $5.24 |
What moves the price
For chain, the drivers are material, fit size, adhesive type, slot count, custom cut, color, size, hole diameter — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale jewelry-chain pricing from US-facing suppliers shows entry points like $3.80 and $6.68–$6.98 for bulk chain styles, while broader wholesale chain assortments are sold per foot/spool rather than as per-unit finished components. For this product class, the main price drivers are metal content and karat/plating, chain style and gauge/size, and whether the order is custom-cut or a standard stock SKU; custom manufacturing and imported landed cost can move pricing materially. Realistic supplier routes are jewelry-chain wholesalers and manufacturers such as Harper Crown, Silver Palace, Ross Metals, and specialty chain makers, but the provided sources do not publish enough quantity-break data to support a full stepped ladder beyond a broad range.
