Handmade Chain Bracelet Collection

Handcrafted chain bracelets present with an essence of beauty and simplicity.

A stylish adornment, chain bracelets are ideal for casual attire or can be combined with additional jeweled bracelets to act as the perfect accent piece. Our homemade pieces are available in fine silver, 14K gold-filled, and lustrous copper materials. No matter your style preference, you’re sure to find a chain bracelet that meets your individual fashion tastes, with styles ranging from chain bracelets with freshwater pearls to simple textured pieces that vary in shape and length.

One-of-a-kind bracelet chains, each has a different sequence of links in circles, squares, octagons, and ovals in a variety of size links. Some have been hammered and polished, while others have been delicately embellished with gemstone beads that give the simple chain an eye-catching cascading effect. Our bracelet chains come in various lengths and feature different types of clasps for easy wear, such as toggle clasps and crab claw closures, and also coordinate with many of our other handmade jewelry designs. Each chain bracelet is the epitome of chic, complete with color, texture, and dimension.

In Short

Chain bracelets here are hand-built link and chain maille designs in copper, bronze, steel, silver and gold-filled metal, made in fixed lengths.

What Is This Collection?

A chain bracelet is built from individual metal links joined together, so it drapes around the wrist rather than holding a rigid shape like a cuff or bangle. Every piece is handcrafted by John S. Brana in his San Francisco studio.

What This Collection Includes

Hammered link chains, hand-woven chain maille bands and gemstone chain maille designs, in lengths around 7 to 8 inches.

How the pieces differ

They differ by link construction: large hammered links show individual shapes and drape openly, while chain maille weaves many small rings into a dense, fluid band.

Who this collection suits

Anyone who prefers a bracelet that moves with the wrist, and buyers who find rigid cuffs uncomfortable.

Criteria that matter most

  • Fixed lengths – chains are made to set sizes, so measure your wrist before ordering
  • Drape – a chain sits differently from a cuff, moving as you do rather than holding position
  • Clasp – toggle and hook closures are easier to fasten one-handed than small lobster clasps

Frequently Asked Questions

Q1. What is chain maille?

A technique where many small rings are woven together by hand into a flexible band. It takes far longer to make than a simple linked chain, which is why the texture looks denser.

Q2. How do I choose a chain bracelet length?

Measure your wrist and allow a little ease for drape, usually half an inch. Chain bracelets are made to fixed lengths, so measure before ordering.

Q3. Which metal is best for everyday wear?

Stainless steel and gold-filled, since neither tarnishes. Copper and bronze develop a patina, which some wearers prefer.

Q4. Are chain bracelets heavier than cuffs?

Chain maille designs often are, because of the number of rings. A simple linked chain is usually lighter than a wide cuff of the same metal.
