King's Link Bracelet Collection
A king's link bracelet has the same densely woven link as the king's link chain and sits supple around the wrist. Available in 925 sterling silver, 18K gold plated and stainless steel, from 2.5 to 6 mm wide.
A king's link bracelet is the bracelet version of the king's chain: links woven into each other to form a dense pattern that looks square from every side. You will also come across it as a kings bracelet or king chain bracelet. The Byzantine bracelet is a separate weave with its own pattern: in this collection you will find both, the king's link from 2.5 to 5 mm and the Byzantine model in 6 mm.
Why this link
The woven construction makes this bracelet one of the strongest link types there is. It sits heavy on the wrist and keeps its shape, even when you wear it every day. That makes it the favorite of anyone looking for a bracelet that is not stretched or bent after a month. The 5 mm gold-tone king's link bracelet has been our best-selling bracelet over the past six months.
Width and size
The 2.5 mm king's link bracelet in 925 silver or 18K gold plated is fine and fits next to a watch. The 4 and 5 mm steel models stand on their own, and the 6 mm Byzantine is the heaviest. All models come in 18, 20 and 22 cm (7.1, 7.9 and 8.7 in). Measure your wrist just below the wrist bone and add 1.5 to 2 cm. Over the past year, 20 cm was our best-selling king's link bracelet size, and 22 cm sold more often than 18 cm. More models per link and wrist size are in the men's bracelets.
Stainless steel or 925 sterling silver
The silver-tone steel models are bare, polished stainless steel: there is no layer that can wear off, they do not discolor and no tarnish builds up, so you can keep them on in the shower. The gold-tone steel models have a five-layer PVD finish, harder than ordinary plating but still a layer: take those off before the shower and the gym. Choose 925 sterling silver and you buy a real precious metal: 92.5% pure silver, with the weight and deeper shine that come with it; it can go in the shower and tarnishes slowly, which a silver cloth polishes away. The 18K gold plated bracelet has a 2.5 micron gold layer on 925 silver and follows the same rule as gold-tone steel. Every model comes off before the pool, because chlorine is harsher than shower water. None of these materials is scratch-proof: with hard contact, steel scratches too.
Pairing with a chain
Because it is the same link, bracelet and chain make a set together. Choose the bracelet in the same color and as wide as the chain or narrower. For that, have a look at the king's chains, or browse the complete king's link collection.
