Flexible bangles are built from linked or spring segments that give slightly as they go on, then hold their round shape on the wrist. These are in solid 14K Yellow Gold.
Why flexible
A flexible bangle reads as a solid bangle but behaves like a bracelet. Internal links or a coiled core let it expand just enough to pass the hand, then close back to a circle. That gives you the clean unbroken look of a bangle with the tolerance of a clasped bracelet, and it is far more forgiving of a wrist that changes size with heat or over the course of a day.
Because the movement is in the construction, these are more comfortable for long wear than a rigid bangle — they shift with the wrist instead of sitting against it.
Getting the size right
Flexible styles carry more tolerance than a rigid bangle, but they still have to clear the hand. Measure the widest part of your hand with your thumb tucked in. If you are between sizes, most people are better in the larger one.
About the metal
Solid 14K yellow gold — 58.3% pure gold alloyed with copper and silver for hardness, stamped 14K. Never plated, gold-filled or vermeil.
Care
Gold does not tarnish; what dulls it is lotion and skin oil. Warm water, a drop of dish soap and a soft brush, then rinse and dry. Keep it out of chlorinated water, which attacks the alloy metals over time. Store flat rather than heaped.
