An adornment crafted from a gold alloy consisting of 58.3% pure gold (14 parts gold out of 24) and other metals to enhance its strength and durability. This particular type of jewelry is designed to encircle the wrist, often featuring a clasp or other mechanism to secure it in place. Examples range from simple, unadorned bands to more intricate designs incorporating gemstones or decorative elements.
Jewelry of this composition offers a balance between the inherent value and beauty of gold and the practicality required for everyday wear. Its resistance to tarnish and relative hardness compared to purer gold alloys contribute to its longevity. Historically, such adornments have signified status, wealth, and personal expression across various cultures, evolving in style and craftsmanship over centuries.
