Box Chain Necklace
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.
Stainless Steel Sets · Stainless Steel · MOQ 50 pcs
One chain style, two lengths: a flat wheat chain whose links are woven at an angle so the surface reads as a close, even braid rather than a row of open loops. The necklace and the bracelet are the same chain, so they sit together as a set. 316L stainless steel in a gold tone.



Overview
Wheat chain is built by weaving links at an angle into one another, which is why the finished run looks like a braid: dense, flat on the surface and slightly rounded at the edges. Because the links sit tight against each other, the chain lies flat on the skin and does not turn over the way an open link chain does. It also means light runs along the braid as a continuous line rather than flashing link by link.
The set is two pieces in that same chain: a necklace and a bracelet. Each closes with a lobster clasp and carries a short extension of fine links, so the fit is adjustable at the point of sale rather than fixed at one length. Worn together the two read as a matched pair in the same tone and braid; the bracelet also works against a watch or a plain bangle. There is no stone in this set — the braid is the whole design.

Materials
| Option | What it means |
|---|---|
| 316L stainless steel | The chain is 316L throughout, so it does not tarnish and the braid keeps its tension in daily wear. |
| Flat wheat braid | Links are woven at an angle into one another, so the run is dense and flat on the surface rather than open. |
| Gold tone | Gold tone over steel; the plating process and its thickness are 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
Two pieces in the same braid make a set that needs no pairing at the counter.
A flat braid with no stone sits easily beside signet rings and heavier chains.
The necklace layers under a pendant chain without competing for attention.
