A gold-tone 316L steel flat snake chain with one bezel-set cubic zirconia as its only accent — a clean strand made to layer.
Stainless Steel Necklaces · Stainless Steel · MOQ 50 pcs
A family of four layering necklaces: a twisted rope chain, a safety pin set with clear stones, a horseshoe pendant with a single stone, and a Y-chain dropping three eight-point stars. Choose one or build a layered set. Made in 316L stainless steel with an 18K gold PVD finish.



Overview
This is one listing of four separate layering necklaces, not one piece. The first is a twisted rope chain, made by braiding the links so the chain reads as a cord. The second is a safety pin pendant, its shaft set with clear stones. The third is a horseshoe pendant with a single clear stone at its centre. The fourth is a Y-chain that drops a line of three eight-point stars. They are cut to sit at different lengths and stack, so a store can build a layered display from one order.
Because it is one listing, you choose the designs you want and we quote per design; there is no need to take all four. The chains and pendants are 316L stainless steel, the same grade family sold as SUS316L, so the pieces do not tarnish and are hypoallergenic for everyday wear. The stones are listed as clear stones, not a named stone and not a natural stone. The gold is 18K gold PVD, bonded in a vacuum chamber over the steel, with the plating thickness quoted per micron.

Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| 316L stainless steel | The chains and pendants are 316L stainless steel — a marine-grade alloy with molybdenum at roughly 2-3% and chromium at 16-18%, which is why they do not tarnish and are safe against skin for daily wear. We name the grade rather than calling it a vague 'surgical steel'. |
| Clear stones | The stones in the pin, the horseshoe and the stars are set as clear stones, not a named stone and not a natural stone, so the shade stays even across a run. |
| 18K gold PVD | The gold is 18K gold PVD, bonded in a vacuum chamber over the steel; 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
