For centuries, owning gold jewellery has been a sign of wealth, class and regality. Gold is stretched, moulded and set in many different ways to produce beautiful rings, bracelets, bangles, earrings and more. Other metals and alloys can be added to change its integrity and colour. Most notably for this guide, a careful choice of metals such as silver and zinc mixed with gold will bleach it to a stunning pale colour known as white gold.

Types of White Gold Bracelets

As with any gold bracelets, white gold bracelets come in a variety of styles. From the popular twisted ‘herringbone’ shape to the varied charm bracelets available. Intricate moulding and shaping of the white gold can lead to beautiful ‘link’ bracelets and Figaro-style bracelets.

White gold bracelets can also come with a variety of different fastenings to add to both the look and functionality of the piece of jewellery. One popular style is the T-bar fastening, where the bracelet is held together by a metal bar at one end going through a hoop at the other end, creating a bracelet with an elegant finish. Another popular style is where there is no fastening at all, and the bracelet instead being formed as a solid bangle with an opening allowing the wearer to simply slide it on and off.

Also keeping in with the style of many other types of white gold jewellery, a variety of different stones can be set into the gold to add a new dimension to the quality of the jewellery. From diamonds to cubic zirconias, there are a multitude of jewels and stones that can improve the look of your white gold bracelet.

White Gold Bracelets as Gifts

White gold bracelets can make an ideal gift for a loved one on a special occasion (or any time, if you’re feeling romantic!). Whether it’s a birthday, anniversary or engagement, the right bracelet could be just what you’re looking for as the perfect gift which is sure to go down well.

Most jewellery retailers will provide white gold bracelets in stylish boxes, ensuring your gift has that immediate elegant look. These same retailers are likely to also offer a gift wrapping service, so for a little extra expense you can have a professionally wrapped special present ready to give to your loved one.

White Gold Bracelets to Suit Your Budget

One of the first things you may think of when it comes to any kind of gold jewellery is the expense. You would expect white gold bracelets to be quite expensive; however it is possible to buy them at lower prices than you might expect.

The expense of gold bracelets is mainly determined by the purity of the gold used, known as the carat value. The higher this value the more expensive the gold is likely to be. Also, the amount of gold used in the bracelet, alongside any other stones and metals used, will determine the amount it is worth. Therefore it is certainly possible to buy white gold bracelets on a wide range of budgets. Simply look around at the different suppliers and retailers selling white gold bracelets to find one that suit your needs and budget.
