Ross Simon has a 18kt gold twisted bangle for 400. Just 1/8 wide but pretty. Seen some that were 14kt for that or more. Hinged with figure 8 clasp too.

18k is too soft for a bangle or a ring. Even a thin one will soon become dented and misshapen and could only be worn for special occasions and even then it had better not come up against a table or desk.

Very pretty bangle. I have one just like it in 14K from years ago.

When gold was 2,000/oz I sold off most of my stuff. I had a twisted gold bangle that was a lot wider then this one. This one is about the best you can do nowdays and especially in 18kt gold. Next time I sell off I'll be ready for the grave and hope I have time to sell it all off first. LOL

Some of that Jai stuff runs 400 so might as well put it in gold. LOL

I am rough on jewelry. Gold is not my friend lol. I have a 14k ring I purchased from Shophq from italy, the band has a dent in it. I have only worn it a couple of times. My black hills gold rings wear like iron. I stick with silver or gold over brass for bangles. Gold is lovely but I have to stick with chunky silver.
