All You Need to Know About Gold Bracelets

Understanding Your Diamond Options

Natural vs. Lab-Created Diamonds

We carry both natural and lab-created diamonds, so you can pick whichever fits your priorities. Natural diamonds formed underground over billions of years. Every stone is one of a kind, with its own character and story. Lab-created diamonds are grown in a controlled setting using the same conditions that create natural diamonds. Chemically and visually, they're identical to mined stones.

Both types get graded on the same 4Cs scale (Cut, Color, Clarity, Carat), and both sparkle the same way. The decision usually comes down to what matters most to you: the history and rarity of a natural diamond, or the value and traceability of a lab-grown one. Either way, you're getting a real diamond.

  • Natural Diamonds: Formed over billions of years, rare, each stone is unique
  • Lab-Created Diamonds: Same physical properties, traceable origin, better price point
  • Grading: Both graded identically using Cut, Color, Clarity, and Carat
  • Bottom Line: Pick based on what matters to you, not what anyone else thinks
What styles of gold bracelets are available?

Bracelet Styles

Plenty of options. Link bracelets are flexible and comfortable for daily wear. Bangles are more rigid—you slide them on over your hand. Cuffs are open-ended and adjustable. Tennis bracelets are set with diamonds all the way around. Charm bracelets let you add pieces over time. Pick what fits your life.

  • Chain Link: Comfortable, easy to wear
  • Bangle: Solid or hollow, slips on
  • Cuff: Open design, adjustable
  • Tennis Bracelet: Line of diamonds or gems
  • Charm Bracelet: Add pieces that mean something
  • ID Bracelet: Engravable plate
How do I find the right bracelet size?

Getting the Size Right

Wrap a tape measure around your wrist, then add half an inch for a snug fit or a full inch for more room. Most women are 6.5-7.5 inches. Most men are 8-9 inches. Bangles need to fit over your hand, so they work differently—measure across your knuckles.

  • Measure at the thinnest part of your wrist
  • Add half an inch for snug
  • Add an inch for looser fit
  • Women usually 6.5-7.5 inches
  • Men usually 8-9 inches
What gold purity is best for bracelets?

Which Karat?

14K is usually the best call for bracelets. Your wrist takes a beating compared to your ears or neck, so the extra durability matters. 18K is fine for special occasions when you'll be more careful with it. 10K is the toughest and most affordable if you just want something reliable.

  • 14K: Sweet spot for everyday wear
  • 18K: Nicer color, save for special events
  • 10K: Toughest, most budget-friendly
  • Think about how you live
  • Higher karat means softer gold
Can gold bracelets be worn every day?

Daily Wear

Good gold bracelets are meant to be worn. Pick something sturdy if you're active—thicker links hold up better. Take it off for anything that might damage it: gardening, sports, heavy lifting. Give it a quick clean now and then, and check that the clasp is still solid.

  • Sturdy links for active lifestyles
  • Remove for rough activities
  • Keep it away from chemicals
  • Clean regularly
  • Check the clasp occasionally
How do I care for gold bracelets?

Taking Care of It

Clean your bracelet every week or two with warm water and mild soap. Dry it completely. Store it somewhere it won't get scratched or tangled. Skip the chlorine—pools and hot tubs aren't good for gold. A professional clean once a year keeps it looking new.

  • Soap and water, then dry thoroughly
  • Soft cloth to polish
  • Store separately from other jewelry
  • Avoid pools, bleach, harsh chemicals
  • Professional cleaning once a year

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.
