Is this bangle real gold?

No. It is stainless steel with 18k gold plating, so the gold is a thin layer over the steel base.

Will it tarnish or turn my skin green?

Stainless steel resists tarnish and skin discoloration better than brass or copper jewelry. The plating can still wear thin over time, especially with daily wear and contact with water or perfume.

Can I wear it in the shower or pool?

Take it off first. Chlorine, soap and hot water speed up plating wear, even on stainless steel.

How does it compare with a brass or copper bangle?

Stainless steel is harder and holds its finish longer. Brass and copper bangles are often cheaper but tarnish faster and can leave marks on skin.

Yes, if the person likes simple gold-tone jewelry. The three finishes give you a choice, but check whether they prefer gold, silver or rose tones.

Does it come in a gift box?

The listing does not say. Assume it arrives in basic packaging unless the store states otherwise.

Our take on the Piatella Gold Tone Stainless Steel Bangle

The Piatella bangle is a women's bracelet in 18k gold plated stainless steel, sold in gold, silver and rose finishes. Stainless steel holds its finish better than brass or copper-based costume jewelry and resists tarnish and everyday wear. It is a simple, unbranded-looking piece for stacking or wearing alone. It suits shoppers who want a gold look without solid-gold upkeep, though plated finishes can wear thin over years of daily wear.
