Re: OMG what is that big ol cuff

if you are talking about this bangle, it is electroform (with resin in the center.)

Re: OMG what is that big ol cuff

Cuffs usually are very big and solid.  There is a 14K cuff coming up today (does not have the image yet!)  But the cost will be over $3,000.00.  So you know this going o be heavy.  My objection to resin filled is that it diminishes the value of the gold.

Its pretty but I agree what if you tire of it and want to sell it?  I don't see value.  If you want that look you could buy fashion jewelery or I would save for the real deal.

The real deal is gorgeous!! Not interested in gold over resin stuff. It's only costume stuff. Nothing special IMHO.

 

ETA: I haven't purchased any gold in years and years from QVC. Ted Leach from Eterna Gold was the only person I trusted and bought many beautiful,  durable, study bangles which I continue to wear 25+ years later.

Re: OMG what is that big ol cuff

I definitely prefer gold to the white metals and am so glad I was able to buy a basic gold wardrobe when gold on the commodities market was under $300 an ounce.  Now it's over 5 times that much and all the other costs that go into jewelry have risen as well.   Price aside, I still have way more jewelry than my very casual life now calls for.

I had a good size San Marco - 18 grams - that i bought many years ago on clearance from HSN. It was really gorgeous but I rarely wore it because it was so uncomfortable. Whenever I would lay my arm on my desk it was so chunky it hurt my arm. I finally gave up and sold it when gold was high - got about 3 times what I paid for it. Since then I haven't been tempted by San Marcos, no matter how beautiful.
