O-link bracelets, in gold tone or steel tone
One bracelet built from open oval links, each joint formed as a straight bar with a bead on either side, so the chain reads as a run of O-links rather than a plain curb. It is made in 316L stainless steel and finished in either gold tone or steel tone, so a single design covers two colour programmes.
Overview
About this two-tone o-link bracelets
This is one bracelet, not a set. The links are open ovals, and every joint is formed as a short straight bar with a small bead at either side, which keeps the oval standing open instead of pulling flat the way a curb or cable link does. The bar takes the pull rather than the oval, so the chain looks light on the wrist but keeps its shape. A lobster clasp closes it, with a short extension chain behind the clasp and a small tag at the end. It is made in 316L stainless steel, so it does not tarnish and is safe for daily wear.
The bracelet is offered in two finishes, gold tone and steel tone, from the same design, so both colour programmes can be bought without a second tooling cost. Each piece is quoted on its own, in the tone you choose, and the length is made to suit your market. The white-background photograph shows the same bracelet in both tones side by side; the wrist shots show it layered with a herringbone chain and stacked with plain and stone-set bracelets from the same family, which are separate pieces quoted separately.
- ✓One design in two finishes — gold tone and steel tone
- ✓Oval O-links held open by a formed bar-and-bead joint
- ✓Lobster clasp with a short extension chain behind it
- ✓Quoted per piece in the tone you choose, made to your length

316L
The grade, in plain terms
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 |

FAQ
Questions about this two-tone o-link bracelets
Is this one bracelet or a set?
One bracelet per piece. The wrist photographs show it worn with other bracelets from the same family; those are separate pieces and are quoted separately.
Are the two tones one bracelet or two?
The design is the same either way. You order the bracelet in gold tone or in steel tone; the white-background photograph shows both tones side by side.
What is the joint between the links?
Each oval link is joined by a short straight bar with a small bead at either side, which holds the oval open. It is not a plain curb or cable link.
Can the length and clasp match my range?
Yes. Tell us the length you order and the clasp you already use and we will match it. See the steel bracelet range for the rest of the family.
Are you a manufacturer or a trading company?
We are a China-based B2B fashion jewellery supplier with our own design, sourcing and quality-control team, and we do not own a factory. The benches your order runs on belong to partner production lines in Guangdong that we work with directly and visit during your production. We publish no factory address, floor area, headcount or founding year, because those numbers describe a plant rather than the service you are buying. Ask any supplier this question, and check whether the answer matches the paperwork you get.
