A solid 316L stainless steel Cuban link chain, 5–12 mm, at any length from 45 to 65 cm. Waterproof, tarnish-free and heavy — the men's chain that survives daily wear.
Stainless Steel Necklaces · Stainless Steel · MOQ 50 pcs
A curb chain in 18K gold PVD over 316L steel, with one row of plain round discs hung along the front arc. Each disc is polished and slightly dished, joined to the chain by a small ring, so the row moves as a fringe rather than sitting flat. No stones, no engraving — the shape of the row is the whole design.



Overview
This is one necklace, not a layered set: a curb chain runs the full length, and along the front arc a row of round metal discs is hung from it, one disc per short length of chain. Each disc is plain, polished on both faces and dished very slightly in the centre, so it catches light at an angle instead of reading as a flat washer. The discs hang from small rings, which is what gives the row its movement — the fringe swings against the chain as the wearer turns.
There are no stones anywhere on the piece, and no engraving or lettering on the discs, so the whole effect comes from polished gold tone against the link texture of the chain. That keeps it easy to sell beside plain curb chains without competing with them: it is the same chain language, with a row added along the front. Because the fringe is fixed to the chain, there is nothing to detach or lose, and the necklace packs flat.

Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| 316L stainless steel | The chain and the discs are 316L stainless steel, so the piece does not tarnish and the fringe keeps its shape in wear. |
| Polished disc fringe | Each disc is plain metal, polished and slightly dished, hung on a small ring; there is no stone and no engraving on either face. |
| 18K gold PVD | The gold is 18K gold PVD, bonded in a vacuum chamber over the steel rather than laid on as a wet-plated coat; plating thickness is quoted per micron. |
316L
Every design on this page is made in 316L stainless steel — the molybdenum-bearing austenitic grade, and the same grade specified for surgical implants and marine fittings. The “L” is low carbon, which is what keeps chain links and hollow forms sound at the joins.
Grades are worth stating rather than implying, because 316L, 304 and 201 look identical in a photograph and differ by real money per tonne. We name the grade on every design. If your market needs documentation with the goods, tell us and we will confirm what is available on this design before you order.
| Property | 316L stainless steel |
|---|---|
| Designation | 316L (AISI/ASTM) · SUS316L under JIS · 1.4404 under EN |
| Composition | Chromium 16–18%, nickel 10–14%, molybdenum 2–3%, carbon 0.03% max |
| Why 316L and not 304 or 201 | Molybdenum is what resists chlorides, and neither of the cheaper grades contains any |
| Tarnish and rust | Does not tarnish, and does not rust from everyday wear, sweat or water |
| Skin | Hypoallergenic for most wearers, and not nickel-free — it contains 10–14% nickel by specification |
| Specified for | Surgical implants (ASTM F138) and marine fittings, which is where the “surgical” and “marine grade” labels come from |
Best for
It sits beside plain curb chains as the patterned option in the same chain language.
A moving gold fringe reads as a dressed piece without a pendant stone.
No stone to chip and nothing detachable, so it travels and packs flat.

A round brass medallion on a brass chain, cast so the relief stays sharp and then plated. The face is the product: a motto, a date, a symbol or your own mark, raised enough to read on a phone screen. Casting carries that depth cleanly, and the weight of the medallion is the reason the piece feels worth its price.
