Complete Your Look with a 9k Gold Bangle
Gold has long been valued as a symbol of luxury and status, and the same is still true now. High-purity 24k and 18k gold are beautiful but their cost can be a little on the expensive side, so many people choose 9k gold to get the same effect at a fraction of the cost while gaining strong durable jewellery. If you're looking for a 9k gold bangle, eBay has hundreds of styles, shapes, and designs to choose from, and all at amazing prices.
What sort of 9k gold bangles are there?eBay has every sort of 9k gold bangle you can think of, in all sorts of sizes and thicknesses. Some are plain, some are twisted and shaped into beautiful designs, or engraved with patterns. Some are even studded with gems or come with little charms attached. They also come in a variety of coloured alloys — as well as ordinary yellow gold, you can choose from rose gold or white gold, and more, or even all three colours in one piece.
- Torque bangles: These are C-shaped bangles that go directly over the wrist rather than passing over the hand.
- Solid bangles: These are circular bangles that are pushed over the hand.
- Baby bangles: These make great naming or christening gifts.
- Hinged bangles: These bangles open and close to fit over your hand, and fasten with a clasp.
- Cuff bangles: These are very wide bangles that resemble a shirt cuff in shape.
A genuine 9k gold bangle will have a hallmark stamped on it, usually somewhere on the inside. It should say 375 — this refers to the purity of the gold, which for 9k is 37.5%. The hallmark means that the gold has been tested against independent standards, and is certified at the purity stated. If you can see a mark but you still aren't sure, place the bangle near a magnet. Gold is not magnetic, so if it is attracted to the magnet then the bangle is not solid 9k gold.
Is a 9k gold bangle easy to clean?Yes. 9k gold does tarnish naturally over time so it's a good idea to polish it every once in a while. All you need is a gold polishing cloth, and a few minutes to bring your bangle back up to its full shine. Alternatively, you could take it to a jeweller's to have it polished professionally, but it's so easy to do at home that you can save a bit of money and still have your jewellery looking perfect.
