Stainless Steel Anklets · Stainless Steel · MOQ 50 pcs
A gold-toned Cuban link chain made as an ankle chain, not a bracelet. The flat, curbed links run in a graduated range of widths, and a standard extension chain lets the fit be adjusted at the ankle. Made in 316L stainless steel.



Overview
This is a Cuban link chain made to be worn at the ankle. The links are flat and curbed, set tight so the chain lies flat against the skin rather than twisting into a second line, and the run is offered in a graduated range of widths so a buyer can pick the weight their market sells. A standard extension chain is fitted as standard, so the same piece adjusts to the ankle it is worn on.
Every width is quoted as its own line, so there is no need to carry the whole range. The chain is 316L stainless steel, a marine grade alloy that does not tarnish and is hypoallergenic for most wearers; it is shower-safe and fine for the pool and beach, so the anklet suits summer and holiday ranges as well as everyday wear.

Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| 316L stainless steel | The links are 316L, so the anklet does not tarnish and is safe for daily wear and water; 316L is the marine grade alloy, so it also stands up to pool and beach use. |
| Cuban link | A flat, curbed link set tight along the run, so the chain lies flat on the ankle rather than twisting. |
| Gold tone | A gold tone finish over the steel core as shown; the finish is confirmed at quote. |
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
A light single Cuban chain suits all-day wear and water.
Two widths can be worn as a stack on the same ankle.
The steel is shower-, pool- and beach-safe, so it suits holiday ranges.
