The Originator Chain - Silver - 8MM

Swiss Watchmaker Steel
Premium 316L stainless steel with 16-18% chromium content. The same specification trusted by Rolex, Omega, and TAG Heuer. Chromium content prevents oxidation — making tarnish chemically impossible. Waterproof. Hypoallergenic. Shower in it. Swim in it. Wear it at the gym.

Ion Bonded Coating
Traditional gold plating fails in months. We use Physical Vapor Deposition — the same ion bonding process used in aerospace and defense systems. Particles are fused at the molecular level, not layered on the surface. 10X harder than conventional plating. Resistant to scratches, chemicals, and time.

Why It Matters
Cheap jewelry uses base metals that oxidize within weeks. Luxury brands use the same 316L steel we do — then charge 10X more for a logo. We stripped out celebrity endorsements and retail markups. Invested it all into materials and manufacturing.

The result: permanent pieces at fair prices.

Origin 1 is engineered men's jewelry. Chains, bracelets, and rings designed as a system — not individual pieces.

Every piece is built from Swiss Watchmaker Steel with Ion Bonded Coating. The same materials trusted by luxury watchmakers and aerospace engineers. Waterproof. Tarnish-proof. Guaranteed for life.

Who It's For

Men who research before they buy. Who value quality over logos and engineering over hype. Who want to look the part without overpaying for a brand name.

Origin 1 isn't about trends, drops, or status signaling. It's about permanent pieces at fair prices. Start with one. Build over time. The stack evolves. The quality stays constant.

Designed with precision. Engineered to last forever.

Chains & Necklaces
Available in 18", 20", 22", and 24" lengths. Measure an existing chain you wear comfortably — or wrap a soft tape measure around your neck and add 2-4" depending on where you want it to sit. 18" sits at the collarbone. 22-24" falls mid-chest.

Bracelets
Available from 7.5" to 9". Measure your wrist just below the wrist bone. Add 0.5-1" for a comfortable fit. Most men wear 8" or 8.5".

Rings
US sizes 6-12, including half sizes. True to standard US sizing. If you know your size, it will match. If you don't, measure the inside diameter of a ring that fits — or wrap a strip of paper around your finger and measure the length in millimeters. Size guides are available at checkout.

Adjustable Rings
Some designs feature an open band. These can be adjusted for fit — but Swiss Watchmaker Steel holds its shape. Adjust once and leave it. Not designed for repeated bending.

Built to Stack
Every chain, bracelet, and ring is engineered to work together. Widths, finishes, and proportions are designed as a system. Start with one. Build over time.

Finding Your Ring Size.

1. Cut a strip of paper or a piece of string. Wrap the paper or string around the finger to be sized. 
   
2. Slide the paper or string up to the knuckle, as the ring must be sized large enough to able to slip off and on, over the knuckle.
   
3. Mark the intersection point of string. Make sure to mark both points of the string.
   
4. Place the paper or string next to a ruler and write down your measurement.
   
   
5. Locate your ring size by locating your measurement on the size chart.

If the measurement falls in between two sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger size. Your fingers might also swell if you're pregnant or taking certain medications. Take this into account when measuring your fingers

Finding the Ring Size for Your Loved Ones.

1. Find a ring that your loved one currently wears.
   
2. Make sure he or she wears that ring on the finger you are shopping for.
   
3. Using a ruler to measure the inside diameter or inside circumference of the ring.
   
4. Match your measurement with our size chart to find your perfect fitting size!
   

If the measurement falls in between two sizes, it is recommended that you choose the larger size.
