Blade Blossom Solid Brass Wallet Chain — 24 Inch, Skull Clasps
SKU: 3099
Each link is a flattened petal rather than a round ring. They interlock into a rope that catches light along two edges at once. Both ends finish in a lobster clasp cast with skulls. The Blade Blossom Solid Brass Wallet Chain runs 24 inches in 13mm links and weighs 175 grams.
Who This Is Actually For
If you want brass rather than steel — this is 100% solid brass with no plating over it. Scratches burnish rather than exposing a different metal underneath. Best for anyone whose hardware already runs warm-toned.
If a chain should be seen — at 13mm per link with faceted petal shapes, this reads clearly from across a room. Best for riders who want the chain to be part of the outfit rather than hidden hardware.
If you switch wallets often — clasps at both ends mean nothing is permanently fixed. You unclip either side, and the 360-degree swivel stops the chain twisting while you do it.
What It's Like to Wear (The Honest Take)
The link shape does the work here. Every piece is a rounded blade, wider at the middle and tapering at each end. They sit crosswise to each other, so the surface alternates direction constantly.
Polished faces sit alongside darkened recesses. Brass takes a mirror finish on the raised areas, while the channels between links stay dark. That contrast gives the chain visible depth instead of a flat gold line.
Both clasps carry skulls, one moulded on each shoulder plus a round medallion stamped on the flat. They're substantial castings rather than pressed sheet, and they weigh noticeably in the hand.
Hung on a belt loop, the chain drapes rather than swings stiffly. Flattened links pivot freely against each other, so it follows the leg instead of standing away from it.
Heads up: Bare polished brass shows fingerprints immediately, and this arrives mirror-bright. It dulls into a warmer, more even tone as it's handled, which most people prefer. If you want it staying showroom-bright, plan on wiping it down regularly rather than expecting it to stay that way.

Questions You're Probably Asking
What shape are the links exactly?
Each one is a flattened blade, rounded at its widest point and tapering toward both ends. They're set at 90 degrees to their neighbors, so consecutive links present alternating faces. That crosswise arrangement is what makes a 13mm chain look wider than its measurement suggests.
How do the links connect to each other?
They interlock directly, without separate jump rings between them. Each blade passes through the 2 links either side of it. That removes the small round connectors that are usually the weakest point on a decorative chain. Nothing is soldered shut on the visible run.
Do both ends open?
Yes, and they're identical. A skull lobster clasp sits on each end, rather than a clasp at 1 end and a fixed ring at the other. Either side attaches to a belt loop and either side to a wallet grommet. It also lets you reverse the chain when 1 end sees more wear.
Does it move freely or hang stiff?
It drapes. Flattened links pivot against each other in every direction, so the chain follows the shape of your leg rather than standing off it. Combined with the 360-degree swivel, that also means it doesn't wind itself into a twist during a ride.
