- Is this real gold or plated?
- It is solid 10k yellow gold, stamped 10k, not gold plated over brass or steel. The 10k alloy is about 41.7% gold, which is harder and more scratch-resistant than higher-karat gold.
- Will it fit my wrist?
- It is a fixed 7-inch bangle with no clasp, so it slips over the hand. That suits small to average wrists; measure your hand's widest point before buying if you are unsure.
- Can I wear it every day?
- Yes, but treat it gently. At about 4.2 grams the gold is thin, so avoid knocking it against hard surfaces and take it off for gym work or heavy chores.
- How does 10k compare with 14k gold?
- 10k has less pure gold, so it looks slightly deeper yellow and is more durable, but it has lower resale value. 14k is softer and brighter but scratches more easily.
- Can it be resized?
- No. A seamless slip-on bangle in this weight is not practical to resize, and a jeweler would likely need to cut and re-solder it, which risks the texture.
- What comes in the box?
- The bangle itself. It is not sold with a gift box or pouch by default, so plan on packaging if it is a gift.
