Solid, hinged and open-cuff bangles in brass, 925 sterling silver and 316L steel — made on dedicated benches, with hinge and clasp testing on every lot. MOQ 30 pcs.
Bangles fail for mechanical reasons, not aesthetic ones. The hinge loosens, the clasp stops clicking, the metal work-hardens and cracks at the joint, or the piece is simply the wrong inner diameter and never sits right on the wrist. Before discussing plating or stones, the construction has to be correct — and that is the part most trading companies cannot control, because they do not own the bench.
We produce ODM bangles in four constructions. Each has a different cost, a different failure mode, and a different buyer in mind. Choosing the wrong one for your price point is the most common reason a bangle range underperforms.
| Construction | How it opens | Typical cost | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Closed bangle | Does not open — slipped over the hand | Lowest | Thin stacking bangles, gift sets, low-price volume |
| Hinged bangle | Two halves, concealed hinge and push clasp | Highest | Premium lines, stone-set bangles, gifting |
| Open cuff | Gap in the ring, sprung open | Medium | Wide statement cuffs, engraved designs |
| Adjustable wire | Sliding overlap | Low | One-size ranges, market and souvenir channels |
A hinged bangle carries roughly 60–80% more labour than the same design closed, because the hinge, clasp and two soldered joints are all hand-fitted. If your retail price cannot absorb that, a closed bangle with a decorative clasp detail gives the same look for less.
A bangle that does not fit is a return, whatever the design. These are the four diameters we hold tooling for.
| Inner diameter | Wrist circumference | Market |
|---|---|---|
| 58 mm | Approx. 150–160 mm | Petite / Asian standard |
| 60 mm | Approx. 160–170 mm | Most common — EU and US average |
| 62 mm | Approx. 170–180 mm | US plus-size, men's slim |
| 65 mm | Approx. 180–195 mm | Men's, oversized statement pieces |
Hinged bangles tolerate a wider fit range than closed ones, so a single 60 mm hinged design can serve most of a Western customer base. Closed bangles should be offered in at least two diameters. We can produce a mixed-size run inside one order — ask for the size split when quoting.
On a hinged bangle, the hinge and clasp account for the majority of customer complaints. We treat them as a separate build stage rather than a finishing detail:
A bangle sits against a desk, a keyboard and a door frame all day. Plating adhesion matters more here than on an earring that never touches anything. Our standard approach:
Brass base with rhodium or 18K gold plating, for volume fashion ranges. Adequate when the piece is decorative and replaced seasonally.
925 sterling silver, rhodium plated or left white, for fine jewelry. Silver can be re-polished rather than thrown away, which supports a repair-and-keep story at retail.
316L stainless steel with PVD coating, for men's lines and anything sold as water-resistant. PVD is markedly harder than electroplating and will not fade at the edges within a normal wear cycle.
All bangles are lead, cadmium and nickel free and comply with EU and US chemical safety requirements. Material certificates are issued per batch on request.
Diameter against gauge · wall thickness and gram weight · hinge open-close cycles · clasp tension and safety catch · stone security (pull test after setting and after plating) · solder joint integrity · plating adhesion and colour match across the lot · surface finish under daylight-balanced lighting · engraving depth and legibility · final pair check against the approved sample.
Send us your own inspection checklist if you have one. We will confirm which points we already cover and flag any place your standard is stricter than ours.

A bangle is handled more than any other piece you sell. Customers slide it on over the knuckles, rest it on desks, knock it against zip pulls and door frames. A thin flash plating that looks perfect in the sample photo will show base metal at the high points within weeks of daily wear — and the review section of your listing is where buyers will describe it. We therefore quote plating as a specification, not a colour choice: thickness, deposition method and topcoat are all written into the quotation so you know exactly what you are paying for.
| Finish option | Typical thickness | Wear behaviour | Best for |
|---|---|---|---|
| Rhodium over 925 silver | 0.1 – 0.5 micron | Hard, bright, slows tarnish markedly | White-metal looks, everyday lines |
| 18k / 14k gold tone | 0.2 – 1.0 micron | Warm colour; thickness sets lifespan | Gifting, bridal-adjacent ranges |
| Rose gold tone | 0.2 – 1.0 micron | Trend colour, batch-matched to approved plate | Fashion capsules |
| Anti-tarnish e-coating | 3 – 8 micron clear layer | Invisible barrier, extends shelf life 2 – 3× | Stock programs, long retail cycles |
| Antique / oxidised | Pattern depth controlled | Deliberate contrast, hides micro-scratches | Vintage and men's designs |
Every plating batch runs against a retained master plate approved at sampling. Colour is checked under D65 daylight-balanced light before the batch leaves the plating line, and a salt-spray sample is pulled from each lot for adhesion verification. If your market has a defined standard — REACH nickel release for the EU, CPSC lead limits for the US — the plating bath chemistry and base-barrier layers are chosen to meet it, and we can arrange third-party testing per lot or per season.
Tell us the sales channel and expected wear frequency when you request a quote. A bangle destined for a gift box that opens twice a year needs a different specification from one worn daily — quoting them the same way wastes money on one and under-protects the other.
30 pieces per style for existing designs in brass or 925 sterling silver, and 50–100 pieces per style when a new mould or a full size run is needed. Mixed designs can be combined to reach one minimum.
Yes. We hold tooling for 58, 60, 62 and 65 mm inner diameters and accept a size split — for example 20 pieces at 60 mm and 10 at 62 mm — within the same style and order.
Each hinge is hand-fitted and put through repeated open-close cycles before polishing, then re-tested after plating because the coating adds thickness inside the joint. Hinges that bind or rattle are rejected at that stage.
Brass for trend-driven volume ranges, 925 sterling silver for fine jewelry that can be re-polished, and 316L stainless steel with PVD coating for men's lines or anything marketed as water-resistant. Bangles take more abrasion than any other category, so plating adhesion matters more than on earrings.
Yes — engraved on the inner surface, laser-marked on the outer face, or stamped on the clasp. Logo on the pouch, box and hang tag is produced to your artwork.
