Dark Cord Stone Necklace
A thin dark cord with a stack of coloured stone discs at the centre, on gold-toned 316L steel spacers.
Stainless Steel Necklaces · Stainless Steel · MOQ 50 pcs
A cord necklace, not a chain: the strand is brown waxed cord, braided and matte, and it carries a single gold-tone frame pendant holding one deep green faceted stone. The pendant hangs from a split double loop, so it slides on the cord and sits where it is put. 316L stainless steel in 18K gold PVD, with a short extension at the closure.

Overview
The strand is the point of difference: this is waxed cord, not a metal chain. It is braided, close-woven and matte, in a warm brown that sits against the gold tone instead of matching it, and it holds a soft curve on the neck where a chain would fall in a harder line. The cord is finished at the closure with a short gold-tone extension, so the necklace can be let out a little without changing the pendant's position on the cord.
The pendant is a metal frame rather than a solid plate: a gold-tone surround with a split double loop at the top, and one deep green faceted stone set flush inside it so the frame closes around the stone on all four sides. The stone is cut with a flat table and straight facets, so it reads as a single block of deep green with flashes across the face rather than as a sparkle. We describe it as a coloured faceted stone and by its colour, because the trade name and what the eye sees do not settle the question — confirm the shade on a sample.

Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| Waxed cord | The strand is waxed cord — braided cotton cord run through wax — so it is matte, holds a curve and is not a metal chain; it is the reason the necklace sits soft on the neck. |
| 316L stainless steel | The pendant frame, the loops and the extension are 316L stainless steel, so the metal does not tarnish and the frame keeps its edges around the stone. |
| Coloured faceted stone | The stone is a deep green faceted stone with a flat table, set flush inside the frame; we describe its colour and cut rather than a mineral or trade name, and the shade is confirmed on a sample. |
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 cord strand reads differently from a chain wall, so it extends an edit without repeating it.
One framed stone on a plain cord sells across a wide age range and both men's and women's trays.
A single fixed pendant and a cord that coils small make it easy to pack and gift.
