The only chain here that disappears

Blacked-out metal came to jewelry through tool watches and tactical hardware, where a non-reflective finish was a functional requirement before it was ever a look. The Anchor Chain Black & Black inherits that logic: black ion-plated links, black cord, black clasp, nothing on the wrist catching light. From across a room it reads as a dark band. Up close it reveals a box chain with cord threaded through every square link. That gap between what it looks like at distance and what it is up close is the entire appeal.

Monochrome is a decision, not an absence

Removing color from an object forces everything else to carry it: shape, surface, the way light moves along a polished edge. This is the only variant in the collection where the two components share a color, and the result is that the eye stops separating chain from cord and starts reading silhouette instead. Caligio observes that Black & Black is chosen most often by men who already own a chain and want a second one that behaves differently rather than looks different.

What you are actually wearing

A solid 316L surgical stainless steel box chain finished in black through ion plating, a vacuum process that bonds color into the surface of the steel rather than laying it on top. Black cord runs through every link. The fold-over clasp closes flush in one motion, black to match. Three sizes: Small up to 6.7 inches, Medium up to 7.2 inches, Large up to 8 inches.

Where it sits in your rotation

Black metal belongs beside black metal: a black-cased watch, a matte black shackle, a dark leather strap. If you want the same color with contrast instead, the Anchor Chain Steel & Black keeps a silver chain against black cord. For an all-black stack across materials, add Egoist Black Alfa in wide leather. The full lineup lives in the Anchor Chain collection, the color across every material in the black bracelets collection, and the black-first design family in the Egoist line.

Designed in Los Angeles since 2020. Ships gift-boxed.

316L surgical stainless steel

The chain and clasp are made from 316L surgical stainless steel, the medical-grade alloy used in surgical implants and premium watch cases. Its high chromium content forms a self-repairing oxide layer on the surface, which is why 316L does not rust, does not tarnish, and does not turn skin green. It contains no nickel available to the skin and no copper, so it is safe for sensitive wrists and continuous daily wear.

Black ion plating

The black finish is applied through ion plating, a vacuum process in the physical vapor deposition family, the same method used on blacked-out tool watches. Ion plating drives the color into the surface of the steel at the molecular level rather than resting on top of it the way traditional plating does. The result is a finish that is harder than the steel beneath it, resists scratching, and holds its depth through years of daily wear.

Woven cord

Black cord runs through every link, dyed through the fiber rather than coated on the surface. Because chain and cord share a color, small marks and everyday wear stay invisible on this variant in a way they never do on two-tone pieces.

Care

• Wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear. This is the only routine care the piece needs.
• Water does not harm the 316L steel or the ion-plated finish. Keep the bracelet dry when you can, to extend the life of the cord and clasp.
• Rinse with fresh water and pat dry after contact with salt water, chlorine, or heavy sweat.
• Take it off before applying cologne, sunscreen, or lotion, then put it back on once the skin is dry.
• Store it in the Caligio pouch bag, away from pieces that could scratch the finish.
• Never use bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic jewelry machines. Abrasives are the one thing that can dull an ion-plated surface.

Skin sensitivity

Green wrist marks come from copper alloys, and fading comes from thin electroplating. This piece uses neither. If you have reacted to jewelry before, 316L steel is the alloy dermatologists point to as the safe default, and the hypoallergenic range at Caligio is built on it.

To define the correct sizing of your wrist, we highly recommend using a tape measure and measuring the circumference of your wrist just above the hand. However, if you do not have a special measure, use a small piece of tape or a cord. Wrap it around your wrist and measure the length against a ruler.
