Gramercy Curb Chain Bracelet
- Description
- The Invisible Clasp
This is no ordinary curb chain bracelet, that’s for sure. And that’s because instead of the regular lobster claw clasp that most chain bracelets come with, we used our most-wanted marquise-shaped Invisible Clasp to serve as closure for this one—this way, the clasp effectively becomes a focal point for the piece instead of mere background player! The Invisible Clasp can serve as charm holder, too—you may add a charm or two from RIVA New York’s charm collection, or any charm that you already own! Comes in sterling silver or gold vermeil, and in five (5) different lengths. From RIVA New York’s Expression Collection.
At the moment, our Gramercy curb chain bracelets are made to order, so please allow up to two (2) weeks before your order is shipped. (But please welcome the surprise if we can get it to you faster than that!)

Gone are the days when clasps could only be filed under jewelry findings. We have reshaped them, embellished them, gave form to their function—and so now they have become statement pieces all their own. What makes RIVA New York’s Invisible Clasps stand out is their locking mechanism: a barely-there push closure that snaps open and shut ever so smoothly and ever so swifty, not only for a seamless look but also to promote easy assembly of your modular jewelry piece! We patented this functionality, by the way, which adds to the cool factor, don’t you think?

FAQs
Does RIVA New York make this curb chain in-house?
While we manufacture most of our chains in-house at our Brooklyn, NY, facility, the curb chain we use for our Gramercy necklaces and Gramercy bracelets is sourced from Italy. The finished necklaces and bracelets, however, are assembled by us! The Invisible Clasp component is made from scratch in-house at our Brooklyn, NY, facilities.
Why is it called an Invisible Clasp?
We actually get asked this a lot, especially via Instagram DMs! “Why is it called an Invisible Clasp when we can clearly see it?” Well, we do not mean that the whole piece is invisible, obviously! By “invisible,” we mean the push-closure is incognito or barely-there, so to the untrained eye it will look like a solid link and not a clasp! We hope that clears things up!
I am purchasing this item as a gift. Is there a way for me to include a personal note with the shipment?
By all means! Please reach out to us within 48 hours of placing the order to request for a personal note to be included in your order.

We See You, Shining!
Protect That Shine
As much as we love the look of sterling silver, it does have some pitfalls. Unfortunately, silver is known to tarnish from exposure to oxygen and moisture over time. And although tarnish can be avoided by cleaning, and removed by polishing, we at RIVA use a more proactive solution: rhodium plating! The chemical properties of rhodium make it ideal for adding a protective coat around silver pieces. The hard exterior makes your piece of silver jewelry piece more resistant to scratches or tarnishing, and adds a brighter shine! Click here to learn more about rhodium plating.
