**Gold Bangles - Purchase Advice**
It is a known fact that gold bangles have denoted financial prosperity in ancient times. Interestingly even today these ornaments are seen as a symbol of good financial fortune in many cultures. More popularly worn by the women, these bangles are usually sold and worn in pairs or more. However, the gold jewellery bracelet that is considered the counterpart of [Gold bangles](https://www.a1jewellers.com/gold-jewellery/-/bangles)  is sold as a single piece and is very popular with the male section too.

The range of this gold jewellery is rather extensive and one can buy designs from almost any era and in any finish. Be it carved, studded or even plain, all kinds of bangles are available for the taking. These bangles can be bought in different thickness quotients and while some can easily be slipped on others may need to be opened out and then worn.

However, with this large variety, also comes a large confusion. Be it gold jewellery bracelets or gold bangles it will help to keep certain tips in mind when going out shopping for these ornaments

1) Size - The standard size for bangles is 7 inches for women and 8 inches for men. However, it is always better to wear the ornament in order to ensure if the size is correct. While the sizes for these gold jewellery bracelets and bangles are not as rigid as ring sizes and mostly a round about estimate works, do not make the mistake of judging the size of the bangle in keeping with the size of the wrist. It is the girth of the palm that will decide the bangle size.

2) Workmanship - While the design of the bangle can be in keeping with personal taste, it is important to learn how to judge a well made gold bangle from a badly made one. Press the bangle towards the inside; if it bends or shows signs of giving in, the ornament [Gold jewellery](https://www.a1jewellers.com/) is not worth investing in. Bangles that loose their circular shape over time reflect poor quality workmanship. If buying gold bracelets with screws and clasps do check a couple of times to ensure that these fit well and are easy to open and close.

3) Purity - Pure gold is a soft metal and therefore to mould it into jewellery, there are some impurities added to an ornament. In the case of bangles too this holds true. So when buying these bangles do make sure that you do end up paying for 22 carat gold while purchasing the ornament that has only 18 carat gold in it. It is also true that in case of diamond studded gold bracelets too, the purity of the gold maybe only 18 carats since a higher purity is unable to hold the diamond in place securely. Buying certified ornaments is therefore highly recommended.
