Frequently Asked Questions

All You Need to Know About Gold Bangles

What types of gold bangles are available?

Bangle Styles

Gold bangles come in many styles to suit different tastes. Solid bangles are classic and substantial. Hollow bangles are lighter and more affordable. Hinged bangles open for easy wear. Slip-on bangles slide over the hand. Textured bangles feature hammered, twisted, or engraved designs.

  • Solid: Heavy, durable, classic look
  • Hollow: Lighter weight, affordable
  • Hinged: Opens with clasp for easy on/off
  • Slip-on: Slides over hand, no clasp
  • Textured: Hammered, twisted, or engraved designs
How do I find my bangle size?

Sizing Your Bangle

Bangle sizing is different from bracelet sizing. For slip-on bangles, measure around the widest part of your hand with fingers together. For hinged bangles, measure your wrist like a regular bracelet. Most women wear 2.5 to 2.75 inch diameter bangles. Try before buying when possible.

  • Slip-on: Measure hand at widest point
  • Hinged: Measure wrist circumference
  • Small: 2.25-2.5 inch diameter
  • Medium: 2.5-2.625 inch diameter
  • Large: 2.625-2.75 inch diameter
Should I choose solid or hollow bangles?

Solid vs Hollow

Solid bangles are heavier and more durable but cost more. Hollow bangles are lighter, more comfortable for all-day wear, and more affordable. However, hollow bangles can dent if hit hard. Choose solid for heirloom quality, hollow for everyday comfort and value.

  • Solid: Durable, substantial feel, higher price
  • Hollow: Lighter, comfortable, affordable
  • Hollow can dent with impact
  • Solid better for heirloom pieces
Can I stack multiple bangles?

Stacking Bangles

Stacking bangles is a popular look. Mix widths and textures for visual interest. Odd numbers typically look best. Keep metals consistent or intentionally mix for a trendy look. Thinner bangles work better for stacking than thick ones. The jingling sound is part of the charm.

  • Mix widths and textures
  • Odd numbers look best (3, 5, 7)
  • Same metal or intentional mixing
  • Thinner bangles stack better
  • Consider the sound factor
How do I care for gold bangles?

Bangle Care

Store bangles separately to prevent scratches. Clean with mild soap and water, then dry completely. Avoid wearing during activities that could dent or scratch them. Remove before applying lotions. Have hinged bangles checked periodically to ensure the clasp works properly.

  • Store separately to avoid scratches
  • Clean with soap and water
  • Remove for physical activities
  • Apply lotions before putting on
  • Check hinged clasps regularly

Buyer's Guide

14K Gold Chains Buying Guide

14K gold hits the sweet spot between durability and value. It's the most popular gold purity in the US for good reason. Here's what to know when shopping for 14K chains.

Why 14K Gold?

14K gold contains 58.3% pure gold mixed with other metals for strength. This matters because pure gold is soft—too soft for everyday jewelry.

Durability: Resists scratches and dents better than 18K or 24K.
Value: Costs less than higher karats while still being real gold.
Longevity: Holds up to daily wear without excessive damage.
Hypoallergenic options: Can be alloyed without nickel for sensitive skin.

For chains you'll wear regularly, 14K is often the smartest choice.

Chain Styles

Cable: Interlocking oval links. Classic, works with pendants.

Rope: Twisted links create a textured surface. Catches light beautifully.

Box: Square links create a sleek, modern look. Very strong.

Figaro: Pattern of short links then one long link. Italian origin, distinctive look.

Cuban/Curb: Flattened, interlocking links. Bold appearance, very durable.

Franco: V-shaped links interlock smoothly. Strong, lies flat.

Wheat/Spiga: Twisted oval links create a woven look. Flexible and comfortable.

Thickness and Weight

Chain thickness (measured in mm) affects look, durability, and price:

1-2mm: Delicate, best for pendants or layering. Handle with care.
2.5-3.5mm: Medium weight, versatile. Can be worn alone or with pendants.
4-6mm: Substantial presence. Better for wearing alone.
7mm+: Bold statement pieces. Heavy, expensive.

Solid chains are more durable than hollow chains. Hollow chains feel lighter but can dent or kink if mishandled.

Length Guide

16": Sits at base of neck (choker style). Best for smaller frames.
18": Most popular length. Falls at collarbone.
20": Falls a few inches below collarbone.
22-24": Falls mid-chest. Popular for men or longer looks.
30"+: Statement lengths. Can be doubled.

Consider your neck size, build, and how you plan to wear the chain (with or without a pendant, tucked under a shirt, etc.).

Color Variations

Yellow gold: Classic gold color. The alloy mix creates traditional warm tones.

White gold: Mixed with white metals (like palladium) and rhodium plated. Platinum look at gold prices.

Rose gold: Copper in the alloy creates pink tones. Romantic, trending style.

All three contain the same gold content—the color comes from the other 41.7% of metals in the alloy.

What to Check Before Buying

Stamp/Hallmark: Look for "14K," "585," or "14KT" stamped on the clasp.

Clasp quality: The clasp is often the weak point. Lobster claws are secure; spring rings less so.

Weight: Heavier usually means more gold content. Compare weights when shopping.

Construction: Solid vs. hollow construction affects durability and price.

Return policy: Buy from sellers who allow returns. Chains need to be seen and felt to judge.
