22ct gold bracelets in Fiji

A bracelet sits somewhere between a chain and a bangle. It is lighter on the wrist than a heavy kangan, easy to put on with a clasp, and simple to wear with a watch or a few slim bangles. That makes it a popular gold gift for birthdays, 21sts and graduations.

Styles in the cases

• Curb link: flat, interlocking links that lie smoothly on the wrist. A favourite with men, and in finer gauges with women too.
• Heart and flower designs: links shaped as hearts or a single flower at the centre, often with small white stones.
• Beaded and two-tone: rows of yellow and white-gold beads, some on an adjustable slider so one bracelet fits many wrists.
• Bolder men's designs: heavier curb links and two-tone panels that look good on their own.

Every design is different and most are never posted online, so come in to see the full range.

The purity stamp

Our 22ct bracelets are stamped 916, meaning 91.6% pure gold. You will usually find the stamp on the clasp or a small tag beside it. We also keep some pieces in 18ct (750) and 9ct (375), which are harder-wearing and cost less: ask what is in store. Our post on 22ct vs 18ct vs 14ct gold explains the difference.

Getting the size right

1. Measure the wrist just below the wrist bone with a strip of paper or a soft tape.
2. Add 1.5 to 2 cm for a comfortable fit. Add a little more if you like a bracelet to sit loose.
3. Buying a gift? Borrow a bracelet the person already wears and measure it end to end.

If it is a little long, we can shorten it for you. Adjustable beaded designs suit gifts when you are unsure of the size.

Wearing and caring for a gold bracelet

• Take it off for the gym, swimming and heavy work.
• Put on hand cream and perfume first, then your bracelet.
• Store it flat and on its own so the links don't tangle or scratch.
• If the clasp ever feels loose, bring it in: we do repairs.
