Necklaces · Stainless Steel
Chain length decides who the necklace is for, and clasp quality decides whether it comes back. Both are specified per design here, along with the metal weight of the chain.
Range
MOQ 50 pcs per design for stainless steel. Length, link and weight on every spec line.
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.
A flat square-link 316L stainless steel box chain, 1.2–2.5 mm. It sits flat, resists twisting and holds a pendant without turning over. Waterproof and tarnish-free.
An engravable 316L stainless steel bar pendant on a fine chain. Laser-marked with your own coordinates, date or logo; tarnish-free, waterproof and safe for daily wear.
A 316L stainless steel rope chain, 2–5 mm, at any length. Waterproof and tarnish-free, it carries a pendant well or sells alone as a substantial layered chain.
Necklaces
Necklace complaints are almost always one of two things: the chain is the wrong length for the neckline being sold to, or the clasp failed. Both are engineering decisions, and both are cheap to get right before production and expensive to fix afterwards.
Length is the commercial one. A 40 cm chain sits at the collarbone and reads young; 45 cm is the volume seller in most markets; 50–60 cm layers over knitwear and sells to a different customer entirely. In stainless steel the length also changes the metal content, so a long chain is not a free variation of a short one — we quote the length run rather than letting it slide.
Material
| Fact | Detail |
|---|---|
| Water resistance | No tarnish or green marking; salt water and sweat resistant |
| Magnet test | Unreliable on finished pieces — worked 316L reads slightly magnetic |
| Plating | PVD in a vacuum chamber, ion plating for colour, electroplating in a tank |
| Coating thickness | Stated in microns on the quotation, per item |
| Chain length | Where it sits and who buys it |
|---|---|
| 40 cm / 16 in | Collarbone. Young-leaning, reads as a layering piece |
| 45 cm / 18 in | The volume seller in most markets — the safe stock length |
| 50 cm / 20 in | Sits on the chest bone; layers well over a plain shirt |
| 55–60 cm / 22–24 in | Over knitwear or a dress; usually a higher price point |
