Personalized and Custom Jewelry Factory of Tubogas Bracelet in 925 Silver Rhodium Plated with Pavé of Cubic Zirconia
OEM/ODM jewelry manufacturer design custom your own jewelry
LET’S GET STARTED : mo@kingjy.com
A Tubogas Bracelet is one of the most mechanically complex designs to manufacture. Inspired by industrial gas piping and popularized by luxury Italian houses like Bulgari, it features long, interlocking, hollow metallic bands coiled tightly without any soldering. This gives the bracelet its signature elastic, spring-like flexibility.
Manufacturing a Tubogas Bracelet in 925 Sterling Silver, Rhodium Plated with a Pavé of Cubic Zirconia (CZ) via an OEM factory like JingYing Jewelry (JINGYING) requires merging two highly distinct disciplines: mechanical metallurgical wrapping and microscopic gem setting.
The Engineering Hurdles of Silver Tubogas
Most traditional Italian Tubogas is made of solid karat gold or steel because those metals possess high natural memory and tensile elasticity. 925 Sterling Silver is inherently softer.
To prevent a silver Tubogas bracelet from permanently warping or losing its elasticity, JingYing uses a specialized engineering blueprint:
JingYing’s 3D engineers design the interlocking profile of the metal strips using Rhino. Crucially, they calculate the inner clearance for a flexible inner core (often a specialized titanium-nickel memory wire or stainless steel spring core). This inner core provides the structural memory that soft sterling silver lacks, ensuring the bracelet snaps back to shape.
Solid 925 silver is rolled and drawn into long, continuous, interlocking ribbons with a strictly controlled thickness. These ribbons are fed into specialized coiling lathes that tightly wrap the silver strips around the internal shaped core. The overlapping edges notch into each other mechanically, creating a fluid, solder-free tube.
Because coiling tubes cannot easily hold stone prongs, the pavé Cubic Zirconia is typically concentrated on solid cast endcaps, central geometric plaques, or a wrap-around "serpent head." JingYing's setters use microscopes to meticulously bead-set premium AAAAA-grade CZ stones into these cast components, ensuring a completely flush, snag-free finish.
The fully assembled bracelet is mirror-polished and run through JingYing's automated electroplating line. A thick layer of Rhodium (a premium metal in the Platinum family) is applied. This seals the soft silver against tarnish and scratches, giving it a bright, high-end platinum look. Finally, the bracelet goes through mechanical flex cycles to guarantee the spring tension holds.

Sourcing Considerations with JingYing
MOQ & Tooling Cost: Because Tubogas requires specialized machine setups, customized mandrels, and calibration of interlocking profiles, setup costs for a totally unique width or geometric shape can be higher than standard cast rings. JingYing typically requires a firm minimum order quantity (MOQ) per size to initiate custom mechanical coiling lines.
