What does 18K gold filled mean?

A thick layer of 18K gold is bonded to a base metal core, usually brass. The gold layer is much thicker than plating, so it lasts longer and resists tarnish better.

Will it turn my skin green?

Gold filled is a good choice for sensitive skin and rarely causes green marks. If the gold layer wears through after years of use, the base metal can show and may react.

Can I shower or swim in it?

Occasional water is fine, but take it off for swimming, hot tubs and harsh soaps. Drying it after contact with water keeps the gold layer looking new longer.

How do I keep the snake chain from kinking?

Store it flat or hanging, not coiled tightly in a box. Avoid bending it sharply, and fasten the clasp before storing so it does not tangle.

It is real 18K gold on the surface, but the core is a base metal, so it is not solid gold. That is why it costs far less than a solid gold chain.

How should I choose the length?

Measure your wrist and add about half an inch for a close fit or an inch for a looser drape. A snake chain has little stretch, so fit matters more than with link chains.

About the 18K Gold Filled Snake Chain Bracelet

A thin snake chain bracelet made from 18K gold filled metal, a construction where a layer of gold is bonded to a base metal core. Gold filled wears far longer than gold plating and resists tarnish and fading with normal care, so it suits daily wear and sensitive skin better than costume pieces. It is a simple, close-fitting chain that stacks well with other bracelets and reads as fine jewelry at a fraction of solid gold. The trade-offs are typical of the category: it is not solid gold, it can dent or kink if bent sharply, and it needs a clasp and fit that suit your wrist.

Best forEveryday wearers who want a gold look without solid gold upkeepPeople with sensitive skin who react to plated or brass jewelryStacking with other bracelets and watchesGifting for birthdays and anniversaries
