Silver & Gold Stretch Bead Bracelet

A beautiful mixed metal (14k gold filled and sterling silver) beaded stretch bracelet. Made with 5mm beads this bracelet looks beautiful by itself or stacked with my other stretch bracelets. The pattern on this bracelet is alternating 3 silver, 2 gold filled beads. I also offer other patterns. 

You also have the option to add a personalised sterling silver heart charm. 

Due to the bead pattern this bracelet comes in a standard length of 18cm. 

What is Gold Filled?

Gold filled is when a layer of gold is mechanically bonded to a base metal, usually brass. It is more durable than gold plated due to a thicker layer of the gold alloy. By law, the total weight of a gold filled item must contain 5% (or 1/20) of gold. For comparison, the total amount of gold a gold plated item usually has is under 0.05% of the overall weight of the product. Gold filled items are perfect if you’re looking for a material that is higher quality than gold plated, but an affordable alternative to solid gold.
