- Is this real gold?
- No. It is 14kt yellow gold plating over a base metal, not solid gold. The plating gives the color and shine, but it is a fashion piece rather than fine jewelry.
- Will the gold color wear off?
- Plating on any gold-plated jewelry can wear with friction, sweat and cleaning. Expect the finish to last longer with occasional wear and by keeping it away from water and perfume.
- How does the hinge and safety clasp work?
- The bangle opens on a hinge so it slips over the wrist, and a figure-8 safety clasp secures the two ends together. Check the clasp is fully closed before wearing.
- Can I wear it if I have sensitive skin?
- The base metal under the plating can cause reactions in people with metal allergies. If you react to nickel or brass, this may not suit you.
- Can I shower or swim in it?
- Better not. Water, soap and chlorine speed up plating wear. Remove it before showering, swimming or cleaning.
- How does it compare with a solid gold bangle?
- It looks similar at a glance and costs far less, but it is lighter and the plating will eventually wear, while solid gold keeps its finish and holds resale value.
