Bracelets

It’s best not to shower with a gold bracelet on. While gold itself won’t tarnish from water, your bracelet deserves better than daily exposure to soap, shampoo, and hard surfaces. These can create residue, dull the finish, and increase the risk of knocks or slips. At Black Finch, our bracelets are made to be worn and loved, but we’re also firm believers in caring for what you love. Take it off before you shower. Your gold will thank you.

There’s no hard rule on which wrist is better to wear a gold bracelet on, just your personal rhythm. Some prefer the non-dominant wrist to reduce wear and tear, others like it on their dominant side so it catches the light (and compliments) more often. At Black Finch, we say go with what feels natural. Whether it’s stacking fine gold bracelets on your left or letting one bold chain speak for itself on your right, the best wrist is the one that feels most you.

To tell if a gold chain bracelet is real, start with the basics: look for a hallmark. Most genuine gold pieces will be stamped with a karat mark (like 9ct, 14k, or 18k) or a hallmark certifying the metal. Still unsure? Feel the weight, real gold has a distinct heaviness, and check for any fading or discoloration, especially around the clasp or edges, which could hint at plating. 

At Black Finch, all our gold bracelets are crafted from solid recycled gold, never plated or filled, so what you see, feel, and wear is the real deal, through and through. When in doubt, we always recommend a professional jeweller’s assessment, because knowing your piece is genuine makes it even more meaningful.
