How to buy a sterling gold bracelet

Sterling gold bracelets come in a variety of styles and sizes and can be worn for cultural reasons, sentimental reasons or purely for aesthetic reasons and as an adornment.
Here listed two aspects you should consider before buying a sterling gold bracelet:
 The fineness and purity of sterling gold bracelets.
Pure gold is too soft to be used for jewelry making. As a result, gold may be alloyed with other metals such as silver, copper, zinc or silicon, among which silver and copper are most commonly used. Purity of gold is measured in terms of karat. Karat can vary from 9k to 12, 14, 18, 22 and 24k, which in turn reflects the value of the jewelry.
The more the karat number, the greater is the gold purity. If you prefer pure gold then you should chose 24K gold. Besides, different purity may influence properties such as workability and color of the resultant gold alloy, so pay attention to its hardness and luster when buying one.
The types of sterling gold bracelets.
Here are some of the most popular types of sterling gold bracelets:
1.    Bangle bracelets.
Bangle bracelets vary in designs from smooth finishes to painted and textured styles, expressing a young feeling. The type of sterling gold bracelets is suitable for both casual and formal occasions.
2.    Link Bracelets and chain bracelets.
