9ct Gold Bracelet

Gold bracelets are a classic and beautiful piece of jewellery that both women and men enjoy wearing. They come in so many different styles, sizes, and shapes that can be worn together or separately to compliment just about every style of clothing, whether it is casual, business, or formal.

When shopping for gold bracelets it becomes quickly evident that the higher carat gold is the more expensive. While a bracelet of 18-carat gold may be considered by many jewellers to be the best overall quality, there are many quality 9-carat gold bracelets available. Someone without a trained eye could probably not tell the difference between it and the 18-carat.

Bracelets of 9-carat gold are 37.5 percent gold, with the remaining 62.5 percent being a metal like silver, copper, nickel, or palladium. These alloys can easily be made into the many different styles that purer gold can be fashioned into and are often more durable and harder than the softer 18-carat and 22-carat gold bracelets, depending on what metal the gold is combined with.

If you like different colours of gold jewellery, 9-carat gold is perfect for attaining those colours. When gold is mixed with nickel or palladium the result is white gold. Add copper to gold produces a pinkish tint, and silver and gold together combine to give off a greenish colour.

You can find chain bracelets of 9-carat gold in all of the standard styles like rope chains with several strands of gold twisted together. A herringbone patterned gold bracelet is made of thins strips of the 9-carat gold that are bent slightly in the centre and lined up parallel to each other. Herringbone chain bracelets, especially of 9-carat gold, are extremely sturdy and they can be found in a variety of widths. Italian Figaro chains in 9-carat gold are perfect for the man who likes to wear gold jewellery. The design of three small circles combined with a larger oval lends itself well to the wider widths that look better on a man’s wrist.

Bangle bracelets of 9-carat gold are also made in a variety of widths. The good thing about this style bracelet in 9-carat gold is that you can more easily afford to buy several to wear together, stacked on the arm on top of one another. The more gold in the bracelet, the more glitter and sparkle the bracelet will have. Gold bangles look even richer when paired with 9-carat gold cuff bracelets. Cuff bracelets are usually wider than a bangle and many women find them easier to put on and take off.

Nine carat gold is also a great option when choosing a charm bracelet for all of your collectable charms. Typically, a charm bracelet requires wider links to accommodate the charms, making one of 18-carat gold much more expensive than a 9-carat charm bracelet. With a lower priced bracelet you are free to spend more money on gold charms that represent your passions and the important events in your life.
