The highest-contrast piece in the collection

Silver against black is the sharpest contrast a two-tone bracelet can carry, and contrast is what makes construction visible. On the Anchor Chain Steel & Black, every square link reads as a distinct object because the black cord draws its outline. The Steel & Navy variant blends its two elements into one calm object; this one separates them. If you want people to see that a cord runs through the metal, this is the variant that shows the work.

The chain that goes to work

Black is the only cord color on this page that reads correctly under a dress shirt cuff. It carries none of the vacation signal that turquoise or orange bring, none of the color coordination that green and red demand. A conference room, a client dinner, a Monday. Caligio observes that Steel & Black moves fastest in autumn and winter, when wardrobes darken and the wrist wants something that agrees with a charcoal sleeve.

What you are actually wearing

A solid 316L surgical stainless steel box chain, the medical-grade alloy used in surgical implants, with black cord woven through every link rather than resting on top of them. The fold-over clasp closes flush in one motion, in polished steel that matches the chain exactly. 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

Wear it against a black leather watch strap and the wrist reads as one deliberate decision rather than two separate ones. The texture-contrast partner is Prime Black Braided leather, giving smooth metal beside woven hide in a single color. For the fully blacked-out route instead, the Anchor Chain Black & Black removes the contrast entirely. The full lineup lives in the Anchor Chain collection, and black across every material in the black bracelets collection.

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.

Natural steel finish

This variant carries no coating at all. The silver tone is the color of the alloy itself, polished, which means there is no plating layer that can wear through and no finish that can change color over time. What arrives on your wrist is what the bracelet will look like in ten years.

Woven cord

Black cord runs through every link, dyed through the fiber rather than coated on the surface, so there is no layer to scratch or wear away. Black holds its depth better than any other cord color here, since there is no lighter tone underneath for sun exposure to reveal.

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. 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 direct sunlight and away from pieces that could scratch the chain.
• Never use bleach, alcohol, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic jewelry machines. None of them are needed, and all of them shorten the life of the cord.

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.
