Bracelet Chain: wholesale price
A typical US business buyer pays a median of $5.50 per unit at small order quantities, falling to $2.00 at volume, on a typical 21-day lead time. These medians come from published supplier pricing. Treat them as a starting point for a sourcing conversation rather than a binding quote.
Median price by order quantity

|---|---|
| 500–999 units | $5.50 |
| 1,000–4,999 units | $4.75 |
| 5,000–9,999 units | $3.80 |
| 10,000–24,999 units | $3.20 |
| 25,000–99,999 units | $2.60 |
| 100,000+ units | $2.00 |
What moves the price
For bracelet chain, the drivers are material, fit size, adhesive type, slot count, custom cut, color, size, hole diameter — the same item can land at either end of the band depending on how those are specified.
Published wholesale chain listings show bracelet-capable chain segments in the roughly $6.68–$35.76 range for small-bulk retail-style wholesale, while Alibaba-style supplier pages indicate brass/jewelry chain pricing as low as about $0.30–$4.20 per meter at higher MOQ, which supports steep price drops with volume. For custom-manufactured bracelet chain, the biggest price drivers are base metal and plating/fill, chain style and width, whether the item is cut-to-length and assembled with clasps, and customization complexity such as color or hole/cut requirements; standard US-facing routes are chain wholesalers for simple stock items and Alibaba/contract manufacturers for true custom runs. Lead times are typically about 2–4 weeks for stocked wholesale and roughly 3–6 weeks for custom production, so 21 days is a reasonable midpoint estimate from these supplier routes.
