I found at Micheal's Craft Store, some glass necklace beads. They were round and big enough to fit on 1/3 sized dolls. They were pretty.

If you don't mind silver, you can get split rings (like for key chains) in 3/4" size, and sometimes leathercraft shops have either silver colored or brass rings for belts. You might also try knitting shops. They carry various sizes of stitch markers. And there are plastic O rings for belts and bags that you can find in notions departments. There are also things called jump rings that are used in jewelry making. I've used them for smaller dolls and they look nice. They have silver and gold (colored).
Maybe you could do a search for O rings or jump rings in 3/4" size and see what you find.
Hope some of this, at least, is helpful.

Heehee thanks for all the ideas - some great tips there really - but I was merely asking for the perfect size for a bangle for a 60cm Obitsu's wrist ;)

Using the Parabox measurements page, I did some math.
http://www.parabox.jp/eng/obitsu/60size_chart.html
According to this page, the circumference of the 60cm Obitsu body is 5.5 cm/55 mm. Dividing this through pi, you get 17,5, which means the 18mm and 19mm rings I bought should fit pretty much fit her... but... if these numbers are right, I don't get why the 22mm boot-bracelets posted earlier fit so tightly..?

Hi there. I bought an entire bag of wedding ring confetti at Hobby Lobby in the wedding section. They make perfect, stackable, AND adjustable bangle style bracelets. You can get them in silver and gold. They're the right size for a 50cm obitsu wrist, and a little on the snug side for my BBB Pandora's wrist. She has thick arms. Is it safe to assume a 60cm wrist is between those?

I also like to search through shops like Princess, Claire's Boutique, Charming Charlie, and (sometimes) Spencers. They often have in stock little stretchy rings. Usually the ring size is around 7, which is (guessing) between a nickel and a dime. Princess in particular has stretchy rings that look like tennis bracelets. They're only $2 each, so it's easy to load up on them. I think they fit the obitsu wrist too? Not sure.
