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

18K Gold Chains Buying Guide

18K gold contains 75% pure gold—the highest practical purity for jewelry meant to last. It's the standard for luxury pieces worldwide. Here's what makes 18K different and who it's right for.

Why Choose 18K?

18K gold offers the richest color you can get in durable jewelry:

Color: More saturated, warmer gold tone than 14K. The difference is visible.
Prestige: International luxury standard. 18K is expected for high-end pieces.
Value retention: Higher gold content holds value better long-term.
Hypoallergenic: Less likely to cause reactions due to lower alloy metal content.

The tradeoff is softness—18K scratches more easily than 14K. For everyday chains, consider whether you'll baby it.

When 18K Makes Sense

Special occasion pieces: Chains for events rather than daily wear.
Investment purchases: When gold content and resale value matter.
Skin sensitivity: If 14K causes reactions, 18K often solves it.
Luxury aesthetic: When only the richest gold color will do.
Heirloom pieces: Jewelry meant to be passed down.

For gym chains or rough daily wear, 14K's durability often makes more sense.

Chain Styles in 18K

18K gold's softness affects which styles work best:

Best choices:
- Cable chains (simple links, less stress points)
- Box chains (sturdy construction)
- Wheat chains (flexible, distributes stress)

Proceed with caution:
- Very thin chains (more fragile in 18K)
- Hollow chains (can dent easily)
- Complex link styles (more points for wear)

Heavier, solid chain constructions hold up better in the softer 18K alloy.

Price Expectations

18K chains cost more because they contain more gold:

Expect to pay roughly 30-50% more than equivalent 14K chains. The premium varies by:
- Gold market prices
- Chain construction (solid vs. hollow)
- Manufacturing complexity
- Brand premium

Weight for weight, 18K is more expensive. But you're getting significantly more gold—75% pure compared to 58.3% in 14K.

Care and Maintenance

18K requires more careful handling than 14K:

Storage: Keep separate from harder jewelry that could scratch it.
Wearing: Remove for activities that risk damage.
Cleaning: Gentle cleaning with warm soapy water. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners for delicate chains.
Professional service: Annual inspection to check for wear on clasps and weak points.

With proper care, 18K chains last generations. Without it, they show wear faster than 14K.

Authenticity Verification

Hallmarks: Look for "18K," "750," or "18KT" stamps.

Color test: 18K has a noticeably richer yellow than 14K when placed side by side.

Weight: Genuine 18K feels substantial. Same-size pieces in 18K weigh more than plated alternatives.

Price check: If it seems too cheap for 18K, question it.

Buy from reputable sources: Established jewelers stand behind their gold claims. Request documentation for expensive purchases.
