Bangle bracelet history
Bangles are rigid circular bracelets worn by sliding them over your hand. The difference between bangles and bracelets is that bracelets are flexible and fasten with clasps, while bangles have closed, circular forms.
Modern beautiful plated bangle designs present women with all manner of sculpted shapes and textures. In eastern cultures, the perfect circular shape of a gold bangle signifies eternal bonds and is worn by brides to signify good luck and prosperity.
Affordable demi fine gold-plated bangles
Gold-plated bangles rank equal in terms of look, feel, and quality although not as expensive as solid gold bangles. This means that you can have several style variations at half the price! For this reason, gold-plated versions are wonderful additions to your personal bangle collection and make fantastic gifts for friends and family.
The price of gold-plated jewelry is determined by the type of gold and thickness you want. The thicker the gold coating, the higher the quality of the product meaning the plating will be more durable and last longer.
Hypoallergic gold vermeil bangles
Gold vermile is the material you get when a layer of gold is plated over a sterling silver base. Both precious metals are hypoallergic and gold vermeil jewelry is safe and beautiful.

Gold vermeil plating has stricter quality standards as it is made from both silver and gold. For a jewelry item to be considered gold vermeil it must have 99.9% fine silver or 92.5% sterling silver base and be coated in a minimum thickness of 2 - 3 microns in 10K - 22K gold.

Open gold-plated bangles
An open gold bangle may have a gap in the circumference that allows you to easily slip them onto your wrist. Some open bangle styles can also be adjusted to fit more snugly or loosely around your wrist. Open bangles are also called cuffs and they are easy to wear.

Hinged designs allow the bangle to be opened and closed. The bangle opens on a small, concealed hinge and closes with a simple clasp like a watch. These are the most comfortable gold bangle styles you can buy, especially as a gift.
