The core is 316L stainless steel\n— the same grade used for surgical instruments — finished with five\nlayers of 18K gold plating. That combination is why it holds its colour through\nshowers, workouts and washing up, where thin flash-plated pieces fade within\nweeks.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eWhat this is, plainly\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis is a \u003cstrong\u003egold-plated bangle, not solid gold\u003c\/strong\u003e. The gold is a\nsurface layer over a stainless steel core. That is what keeps it at this price\nand, in daily wear, it is also what makes it more durable than solid gold, which\nis a soft metal that scratches easily.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCore:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFinish:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5x layered 18K gold plating, high polish\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWidths:\u003c\/strong\u003e 2 mm or 4 mm\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizes:\u003c\/strong\u003e 5–6, 6–7 and 7–8 inches\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eShape:\u003c\/strong\u003e Thin round bangle\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWater:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waterproof, sweat-proof, tarnish-resistant\u003c\/li\u003e\n  \u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMetals:\u003c\/strong\u003e Nickel-free\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eChoosing a size\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSizes are given as wrist ranges. Measure around your wrist with a tape or a\nstrip of paper, just below the wrist bone, and pick the range your measurement\nfalls into.

The 4 mm reads as a deliberate piece and holds its own worn alone. If\nyou intend to wear two or three bangles together, mixing one 4 mm with a pair of\n2 mm gives more definition than three of the same width.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCommon questions\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eIs this real gold?\u003c\/strong\u003e It is real 18K gold, applied as plating\nover a stainless steel core, rather than solid gold throughout.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill it turn my skin green?\u003c\/strong\u003e No. Green marks come from copper\nand brass reacting with skin. This has a stainless steel core and is nickel-free,\nso there is nothing in it to cause that reaction.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCan I shower or swim in it?\u003c\/strong\u003e Yes.

It is nickel-free and\n316L stainless steel is widely tolerated, including by people who react to\ncostume jewellery.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWill the gold wear off?\u003c\/strong\u003e Any plated finish wears eventually.\nThe five-layer plating here is meaningfully thicker than single-dip plating, so\nit lasts considerably longer, but it is not permanent the way solid gold is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\n\u003ch3\u003eCaring for it\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNo routine needed for daily wear. If the shine dulls, buff it with a soft dry\ncloth. Avoid abrasive polishes and cleaners containing bleach, and take it off\nbefore using undiluted chlorine or hot tubs — not because it will fail\nimmediately, but because concentrated chemicals shorten the life of any plated\nfinish.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Aqua Gold Jewelry","offers":[{"title":"5-6 Inches \/ 2 mm","offer_id":52089595134181,"sku":"AGJ-BR-BANG-01-56IN-2MM","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"5-6 Inches \/ 4 mm","offer_id":52089595166949,"sku":"AGJ-BR-BANG-01-56IN-4MM","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 Inches \/ 2 mm","offer_id":52089595199717,"sku":"AGJ-BR-BANG-01-67IN-2MM","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"6-7 Inches \/ 4 mm","offer_id":52089595232485,"sku":"AGJ-BR-BANG-01-67IN-4MM","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7-8 Inches \/ 2 mm","offer_id":52089595265253,"sku":"AGJ-BR-BANG-01-78IN-2MM","price":30.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true},{"title":"7-8 Inches \/ 4 mm","offer_id":52089595298021,"sku":"AGJ-BR-BANG-01-78IN-4MM","price":38.99,"currency_code":"CAD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0776\/4043\/3893\/files\/02_waterproof_gold_bangle.jpg?v=1786580179","url":"https:\/\/aquagoldjewellery.shop\/products\/waterproof-gold-bangle-bracelet","provider":"Aqua Gold Jewelry","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
