18K Gold-Plated Titanium Steel Bracelet | Style A / One Size 100500648071750

How to Measure

Follow these quick steps to find your ideal bracelet size and ensure the fit and drape you prefer.

1. Wrap a soft measuring tape around the narrowest part of your wrist (just above the wrist bone). Keep it snug but not tight.
2. Note your wrist circumference in centimeters or inches. Tip: 1 inch = 2.54 cm.
3. Choose your ease:
   • Snug fit: add 0.5 cm (about 1/4 in)
   • Comfort fit (most popular): add 1–1.5 cm (about 3/8–5/8 in)
   • Relaxed drape/stacking room: add 2 cm (about 3/4 in) or more
4. Select the bracelet length closest to your wrist + ease. For chain bracelets, length is typically measured end-to-end including the clasp.

Different bracelet types

• Chain with clasp: Use the wrist + ease method above. If the bracelet has an extender chain, the maximum length equals the main length plus the extender.
• Bangle (closed circle): Measure the inner diameter of a bangle you already own that fits over your knuckles, or measure the circumference of your hand at the widest part (with thumb tucked in) and convert to diameter (diameter ≈ circumference ÷ 3.14).
• Cuff (open back): Measure wrist circumference. Choose a cuff whose total inner circumference (metal length + gap) matches wrist + your preferred ease. Typical gaps are around 2–3 cm.

What to measure on the product

• Length: End-to-end including clasp and jump rings (and extender, if applicable).
• Width/Thickness: Chain or bar width measured at the widest link or component.
• Clasp size: Larger clasps can add visual weight; check product photos for scale.

Note: Allow for small manufacturing tolerances. If you plan to layer with a watch or other bracelets, consider adding an extra 0.5–1 cm.

Materials & Composition

18K Gold Plating

• 18K refers to the color profile of gold commonly associated with an alloy that is 75% pure gold, prized for its rich, warm tone.
• Gold plating is applied as a thin layer (measured in microns) over a base metal. Thicker plating generally lasts longer, especially on high-friction areas like the clasp or underside.
• Modern methods such as ion plating/PVD are often used for added abrasion resistance compared with traditional electroplating.
• Gold does not tarnish like silver; however, the plated layer can gradually wear with regular contact, friction, or chemicals.

Titanium Steel (Stainless/Titanium-Based Alloys)

• “Titanium steel” in jewelry commonly refers to high-grade stainless steel (often 316L) or titanium-based alloys used for strength and corrosion resistance.
• Both stainless steel and titanium are known for durability and a naturally bright, silvery base tone that pairs well with gold plating.
• They are generally skin-friendly. People with extreme sensitivities should monitor for any reaction, as stainless steel can contain trace nickel; the gold plating creates a barrier layer that further minimizes direct contact.
• Excellent resistance to rust, discoloration, and everyday moisture. Avoid harsh chemicals (chlorine, bleach) to protect the plating.

What this means for you: A bracelet that is designed to be low-maintenance, with a luxurious 18K gold color over a sturdy, corrosion-resistant base. With mindful care, the finish stays beautiful longer.

Model & Fit Reference

Model photos (if shown) are intended to help visualize scale and drape. Fit preference varies by wrist size and style. Use these general guidelines:

• Wrist 14–15 cm (5.5–6 in): choose ~16–17 cm total length for a comfortable single bracelet.
• Wrist 16–17 cm (6.25–6.75 in): choose ~18–19 cm total length.
• Wrist 18–19 cm (7–7.5 in): choose ~20–21 cm total length.

If you like a very snug fit or plan to stack multiple pieces, adjust by ±0.5–1 cm to suit your preference.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put your bracelet on after lotions, perfume, sunscreen, and take it off before cleansing or sleeping.
• Avoid pools, hot tubs, ocean water, and steam rooms. Chlorine and salt can shorten the life of the plating.
• After wear, gently wipe with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth to remove oils and sweat.
• For a deeper clean, briefly soak in lukewarm water with a tiny drop of mild soap, rinse, and pat dry thoroughly. Do not use abrasive pads or toothpaste.
• Skip ultrasonic or harsh chemical cleaners on plated jewelry.
• Store individually in a soft pouch or compartment to prevent friction with other pieces.
• Avoid prolonged contact with rough surfaces to reduce micro-scratches on the plated layer.
• If heavily worn, professional re-plating can refresh the finish over time.

Style Tips

• Minimalist moment: wear solo on the wrist opposite your watch for a clean, balanced look.
• Stacking strategy: mix textures and widths—pair this gold-plated piece with a slim chain and a beaded or leather strand for contrast.
• Match your metals: coordinate with 18K-tone earrings or a pendant; or embrace mixed metals by pairing with silver for a modern, effortless vibe.
• Desk to dinner: combine with a classic watch; keep two or three bracelets within 2 mm of each other in width for a cohesive stack.
• Occasion-ready: add a statement cuff on the other wrist for evening, keeping this bracelet as the refined, gleaming anchor.
• Gift-ready: choose a comfort-fit length for easy wear across different wrist sizes.
