The links on this bracelet aren't uniform. They alternate between flat, polished gold squares and small, bezel-set stones. It creates a quiet pattern of solid metal and sparkle that changes as you move your wrist.
This is a delicate chain made of small, square-shaped links. They lie flat against the skin. Most of the links are simple, polished 14K gold, reflecting light from their flat surfaces. Every fourth link is different—it holds a single, round Cubic Zirconia in a square bezel setting. The stones are small and sit low, catching the light without being prominent. The links are connected by tiny, visible D-rings.
We use 14 Karat solid gold, which is 58.3% pure gold mixed with other alloys for strength. This means the bracelet is strong enough for daily wear and won't bend or break easily. It also means the gold colour is permanent and won't rub off or tarnish. The stones are Cubic Zirconia, which are hard, durable, and have a clear, bright flash similar to a diamond. Because they're set into the link, not held by prongs, they're very secure.

You’d choose this bracelet for its flat profile. Unlike a round snake or rope chain, these square links lie flush against your skin, so it’s comfortable and doesn't get in the way. It’s more structured than a simple chain but not as busy as a full-on tennis bracelet.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the Locked Up Bracelet catch on my sweaters?
It’s unlikely to catch. The links are flat and the stones are set in low-profile bezels, not prongs, which creates a relatively smooth surface. While any jewellery can snag if pulled hard, this design is much less prone to catching on knitwear than bracelets with raised settings or complex chains.
Can I wear my 14K gold Locked Up Bracelet while I shower or swim?
Yes, you can wear solid 14K gold in the shower. Water won't harm it. We do recommend avoiding chlorinated pools or hot tubs, as the chemicals can dull the gold over time. After showering, it's a good idea to rinse the bracelet with clean water to remove any soap film.
How do I know what bracelet size to order for my wrist?
To find your size, wrap a flexible measuring tape snugly around your wrist where you'd wear the bracelet. Note the measurement. Then, add 1 cm for a tight fit or 1.5-2 cm for a more comfortable, looser fit. This extra length ensures the bracelet has enough room to move.
What happens if I need to return the Locked Up Bracelet?
You can return the bracelet within 30 days of delivery, provided it's in its original, unworn condition. To start a return, just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label to make the process easy.
