Braided Wire Cuff Bracelet

This handsome and unusual bracelet is a handmade vintage piece, fashioned from shaped, braided and twisted gold-filled wire. Lightweight and easy to wear, the braid features a double-wire motif. Opens and closes via a hook and eye mechanism at the back, which can easily be affixed with one hand.

What is “gold-filled?” Gold-filled jewelry is higher quality than gold-plated and lower cost than solid (alloyed) gold. Typically, gold-filled jewelry is required to have a 1/20th (or 5%) weight in gold (usually 14k,) which is affixed/bonded to all exterior portions of the jewelry item (which usually has a brass, or sometimes copper, core.) Gold-plated jewelry has no such standards and as a result usually involves a much thinner coating of gold. Gold-filled jewelry can last a lifetime without showing signs of wear and makes for excellent and durable everyday-wear pieces.
