A well-crafted gold bracelet is always the perfect gift and it looks charming on a lady’s wrist. Gold bracelets come in various designs and cuttings and basically what defines between an ordinary and well-crafted one lie mainly on the on the workmanship and skill of the jeweler. Gold bracelets also come in different colors and depending on individual preferences, some prefer yellow appearance while some are more towards the white gold.Gold bracelet is usually made of at least 14-karat gold and above. Sometimes you can also see the gold purity is as high as 18-karat, but further than that, it is certainly not recommended. The reason why is because since the jewelry is worn on a wrist, it is very prone to scratching and knocking and thus easily damaged if the gold bracelet is too soft.
Another important consideration, which you should always take into account, is whether the bracelet is gold-filled or merely gold-plated. I would prefer the former not only because of the higher gold content and resale value but also because the gold plated ones with the thin gold coating is often damaged and often chipped off revealing the undesired inner base metal.
Wear and tear is a normal thing when it comes to gold bracelet and therefore extreme care and caution must be exercised when wearing it on your wrist. Some prefer not to wear it all the time because exposure to chemicals could also cause the gold color to fade and become blur. Therefore, they are kept in special jewelry boxes and taken out only for the special occasions. Other for aesthetic purposes, gold bracelet is also considered a good investment in gold accessories especially those from reputable manufacturer and designers.
