Stingray bracelet to wear with your AP
- Thread starter Cmurder
- Start date
I was looking for the same thing these days. What i need is either a black or blue Skull one. I don't mind paying $150-$250 for a genuine stingray one
Great news, keep me posted as I am genuinely interested. Any pictures of the python ones you are making/made?

Lovingstoned makes great replica's of the Stingray bracelet and can be trusted. I've been working together with them for quite some time when my girlfriend started her own brand in jewelery. Winson, one of the co-workers at lovingstoned, took care of the whole productions and we are not talking about a few hundred dollars here I had a great experience with them.
However, they still sell the bracelets with a brass clasp, if I'm right the SS clasps will be done somewhere in February, so I guess after Chinese New Year they'll bring out the new, better, version of the StingHD rep.

Hello,
There are many different quality of leather cord. These exist Chinese / Thailand quality leather and existing European quality. I prefer European quality.
The replicas mainly made gold/PVD plated stainless steel with Swarovski crystal. The StingHD hardware is gold, gold plated silver and silver and real top quality DF-VS diamonds.
Here is big different and price difference.
I will made 1:1 of this modern with white gold. I'm not the rose gold type guy.
I will use real gold and same DF-VS quality diamonds.

This will be my second one:

Same mature some quality of diamonds.
I will make natural python color with custom design, white gold, diamonds and black ceramic logo.
I will have 2 pcs gold plated 6 swarowski crystal replica to check quality of this.
Leather Color : natural python and yellow. hardware is white gold plated and swarowski crystals. That's affordable price. The leather cord will be top quality european standard.

Thank god for this forum and you. I was just about to order one from them!
How exactly are the quality of Thailand ones?
There's a well-known seller I'm sure you are familiar with (Pelgio) that is very inexpensive.
Been thinking about ordering but never did.
To be honest I have no idea about Thailand quality. I got offer from supplier as an option.
I selected European quality. I will use for myself real pure gold and I prefer the better quality and ordered that ones.
The leather only not that expensive but you need to minimum 50 pcs / color. The main part of price is gold and diamond and in Europe the hand made labor also more expensive.
As I mentioned most of replicas not use precious metal. They are use plated stainless steel and crystals. I'm not saying this is bad just not my cup of tea.
if you are staring some kind of project...count me in.
i've purchased the lovingstone one. i'm not too impressed about quality wise.

All the reps that I seem to come across have horrible joins where the material meets in the middle, I am yet to see a good repped version where it doesn't look like the join line was done by a baby. Also like you said above the end links etc I would love to see them in stainless material
it's glued to the hardware and the glue is also on the bracelet itself.
tomorrow i'll take a quick pic
Ordered already python leather beginning of December and will order stingray leather in January.
In same time I started 3D model design. These bracelets not really need 3D model but I change little design.
I want to make bracelets with more massive precious metal and the same time some of models should be ready for cheaper CNC machine ready titanium / stainless steel mass manufacturing.
I not want make mass production, but I also not want rely on any jeweler just tell them. Here the design how much should cost to make it.
Regarding use glue to join leather cord to metal part of bracelet. At some point I had discussion with jeweler about other project. Told him why we don't glue that. Joiners use glue, jewelers with precious material never use glue.
PS: I made the Ap ring. Currently finishing my exclusive Boucheron ring and work on bracelets project, cufflinks projects, mechanical credit card dispenser project, some croc leather exclusive staff and same time I do optical and engine tuning my sport car. On top of that I have 8.5 hours regular job and family.
Some of my design for bracelet precisions metal. The form is similar but, technology how to make different from StingHD.
More will come.
More will come.
I was checking SingHD pythin bracelets again. First of all StingHD don't have my lest and right side hardware, just similar to middle hardware, so I can say this is my unique custom design.
I was wondering also how much diamonds put SingHD to similar product.
The above StingHD have total 0.56 ct diamonds.
Make similar bracelet with my center part design will include 1.72 ct DF-VS diamonds. So more than 3 times more diamonds. Who is gonna pay for it?
With to side hardware the bracelet should include 1.08 ct all 3 hardware on one bracelet 1.94 ct diamonds.

If you like it buy it.
Here is one of feedback:
"Item received is of poor quality for the price I'm paying. Obvious glue lines and glue has probably discoloured the stingray leather. Personally, it should not have cost more than US$25 for this StingHD look alike bracelet."
Glue use joiners not jewelers
