14K Gold Filled Stretch Moissanite Tennis Bracelet

It gives you real gold that stays gold, on a bracelet you can put on in one motion. Five percent of the total weight is solid 14K gold, bonded to a sterling silver core rather than sitting on the surface, and the hidden elastic means there is no clasp to fasten one-handed.

A thick layer of 14K gold is bonded to a base metal under heat and pressure, and the finished piece must be at least one twentieth gold by weight to be called gold filled. Here that base is solid 925 sterling silver, and the piece is stamped 1/20 14K GF 925 on the inside.

Both are genuine finishes and both are sold here. Gold filled bonds a thick layer of 14K gold under heat and pressure at 5% of the total weight, so the colour holds through years of daily wear. Plating applies a thinner layer electrically, which keeps the price lower and looks the same when new. Choose gold filled to wear one piece constantly, plated to own more pieces for the same budget.

A hidden elastic runs through solid metal links, so the bracelet stretches over your hand and settles back to size. From the outside it looks like any tennis bracelet. There is no clasp to fasten, which makes it easy to put on with one hand.

Measure your wrist with a soft tape and add nothing, the stretch does the rest. 16cm (6.3in) suits a small wrist, 17cm and 18cm fit most people, and 19cm to 20cm suit a fuller wrist or a looser drape.

Both wear every day. 2.5mm (0.06 carat each) is the finer line and layers easily with other bracelets. 3mm (0.1 carat each) is a little wider with more presence on the wrist. Choose 2.5mm for delicate and stackable, 3mm if you want it to stand on its own.

Yes. The core is solid 925 sterling silver and the finish is 14K gold, both nickel-free and lead-free. That makes it suitable for sensitive skin.

Yes. Moissanite passes diamond testers because it conducts heat much the way diamond does. A GRA report is included.
