The links on this curb chain are twisted just so, which lets them lie completely flat against your skin. It's a small detail, but it's why the bracelet catches the light the way it does and never feels bulky or gets caught on a sweater cuff.
This is a fine curb chain bracelet, where each link is twisted to lie flat. The main chain is made of these interlocking, flattened links and connects to a spring ring clasp on one side. On the other, there's a one-inch extender made from a lighter trace chain with two separate jump rings for length. A small, simple ring finishes the end of the extender, so nothing dangles too far.
We start with a core of solid 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5% pure silver mixed with alloys for strength. Then, we plate it with a thick layer of 14K gold. The '14K' means the gold alloy is 58.3% pure gold, giving it a warm, rich colour that isn't too yellow. Finally, an e-coating is applied over the gold. It's a clear, protective layer that seals the piece, which helps guard against scratches and tarnish.

Some curb chains can feel heavy, but this one is light and fine. It's a good starting point if you're not used to wearing bracelets, or if you want a simple gold chain to layer with other pieces you already own without adding a lot of bulk or getting tangled.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the gold plating on the Soleil Chain Bracelet wear off with daily use?
The 14K gold plating will eventually show wear over time with constant use, which is normal for any plated jewellery. We add a clear e-coating over the gold to significantly slow this process down. To maximize its life, we suggest removing it before activities involving harsh chemicals or abrasion.
Is it safe to shower or swim with my 14K gold plated Soleil Chain Bracelet on?
No, we recommend removing your bracelet before showering or swimming. Chlorine from pools, salt from the ocean, and even chemicals in soaps and shampoos can degrade the gold plating and the protective e-coat over time. Taking it off beforehand will keep the finish looking its best for longer.
How do I know if the Soleil Chain Bracelet will fit my wrist?
The bracelet measures 6 inches at its shortest and can extend up to 7 inches. To check your fit, wrap a piece of string around your wrist where you'd wear a bracelet, then measure that string against a ruler. Most people find a comfortable fit within this 6 to 7-inch range.
What happens if I receive my Soleil Chain Bracelet and it's not what I expected?
You can return the bracelet within 30 days of delivery for a full refund, no questions asked, as long as it's in its original condition. Just send an email to returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll reply with a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy for you.
