A bangle built to be put on and forgotten about. The core is 316L stainless steel — the same grade used for surgical instruments — carrying five layers of 18K gold plating, so it holds its shine through showers, workouts and everyday handwashing. Choose a slim 2 mm or a bolder 4 mm in three wrist sizes, and wear one on its own or stack a few for depth. Nickel-free, and comfortable on sensitive skin.

A clean round bangle built to be left on. The core is 316L stainless steel — the same grade used for surgical instruments — finished with five layers of 18K gold plating. That combination is why it holds its colour through showers, workouts and washing up, where thin flash-plated pieces fade within weeks.

What this is, plainly

This is a gold-plated bangle, not solid gold. The gold is a surface layer over a stainless steel core. That is what keeps it at this price and, in daily wear, it is also what makes it more durable than solid gold, which is a soft metal that scratches easily.

Specifications

  • Core: 316L stainless steel
  • Finish: 5x layered 18K gold plating, high polish
  • Widths: 2 mm or 4 mm
  • Sizes: 5–6, 6–7 and 7–8 inches
  • Shape: Thin round bangle
  • Water: Waterproof, sweat-proof, tarnish-resistant
  • Metals: Nickel-free

Choosing a size

Sizes are given as wrist ranges. Measure around your wrist with a tape or a strip of paper, just below the wrist bone, and pick the range your measurement falls into. If you are between two ranges, the larger one sits looser and moves more; the smaller sits closer to the wrist.

2 mm or 4 mm

The 2 mm is the quieter of the two and disappears into a stack of other bracelets. The 4 mm reads as a deliberate piece and holds its own worn alone. If you intend to wear two or three bangles together, mixing one 4 mm with a pair of 2 mm gives more definition than three of the same width.

Common questions

Is this real gold? It is real 18K gold, applied as plating over a stainless steel core, rather than solid gold throughout.

Will it turn my skin green? No. Green marks come from copper and brass reacting with skin. This has a stainless steel core and is nickel-free, so there is nothing in it to cause that reaction.

Can I shower or swim in it? Yes. It is waterproof and sweat-proof, and is designed to stay on through showers, the gym and everyday handwashing.

Is it suitable for sensitive skin? Yes. It is nickel-free and 316L stainless steel is widely tolerated, including by people who react to costume jewellery.

Will the gold wear off? Any plated finish wears eventually. The five-layer plating here is meaningfully thicker than single-dip plating, so it lasts considerably longer, but it is not permanent the way solid gold is.

Caring for it

No routine needed for daily wear. If the shine dulls, buff it with a soft dry cloth. Avoid abrasive polishes and cleaners containing bleach, and take it off before using undiluted chlorine or hot tubs — not because it will fail immediately, but because concentrated chemicals shorten the life of any plated finish.

About the finish

This piece is built on a base-metal core and finished with plating — a real layer of gold or rhodium bonded to the surface. The exact composition is listed under Product details. Plating is what keeps a piece this size comfortable to wear rather than heavy, and sensibly priced rather than out of reach.

No plated finish is permanent. Keep yours away from perfume, chlorine and household cleaners, take it off before you swim, and store it dry — a soft polishing cloth will bring the shine straight back.

Our gold-tone pieces are gold-plated rather than solid gold — a real layer of 18K gold bonded over a base-metal core. Each product page lists that piece's composition under Product details, since it varies across the range.

Plating is what keeps a piece light on the wrist and sensibly priced, and a multi-layer plated finish takes daily wear better than solid gold, which is a comparatively soft metal. No plated finish is permanent, though.

To get the most out of yours, keep it away from perfume, chlorine and household cleaners, take it off before you swim, and store it dry. A soft polishing cloth brings the shine straight back.
