- Will the gold plating wear off?
- Plating over brass is a surface finish, not solid gold. With daily wear, sweat, perfume and water, it can thin and dull over time. Taking them off before showers, swimming and cleaning helps them last longer.
- Can I adjust the size?
- Yes. The open torque shape lets you widen or narrow the gap to fit your wrist. Adjust gently and avoid repeated bending, which can weaken the brass.
- Are these solid gold?
- No. They are brass with real 18K gold plating. The brass core keeps them light and affordable, while the plating gives the gold color.
- Will they turn my skin green?
- Brass can react with sweat and oils and leave a greenish mark on some skin. A clear coat or keeping them dry reduces this. It washes off easily.
- Can I wear them in water?
- Better not. Water, chlorine and soap speed up plating wear and can tarnish the brass. Remove them before swimming, showering or washing dishes.
- What is the inner diameter?
- About 54x62mm (roughly 2-1/8 by 2-3/8 inches), with a band 2 to 12.5mm wide and a 4mm ball. The open shape allows some adjustment around that size.
