“This is Stuller’s first chain catalog,” said Alix Gonsoulin, vice president of merchandising, in a statement. “Chain is a vital link in our industry, so why not make a comprehensive guide to our assortment of chain for jewelry-making in addition to chain-related components, repair tools, supplies, and selling systems?”
