Throughout history, gold has been the metal of choice for crafting jewelry for both men and women. Long time ago,people use gold to make the watches,you may find many gold watches in the market,such as Rolex replica watches,Richard Mille replica,Porsche Design replica,Hublot replica,Zenith replica,Ferrari replica and Longines replicas. Bracelets are no exception, whether they are chains or bangles. This is no surprise as gold is associated with success as in "golden opportunity" and with love as in "golden heart".
Why Gold?
There are many kinds of material with which jewelry can be made and, without a doubt, gold remains the classiest of them all. Many people prefer owning gold jewelry because it is a good investment, not to mention a fashionable statement, because it goes well with anything and everything and it never goes out of style. Gold is often perceived by many cultures as a symbol of power and success, and wearers of gold jewelry certainly carry a winning appeal when they step out in public with their eye-catching accessories.
Goldsmiths and craftsmen like to work with gold because it can be shaped into almost any shape imaginable. Its sturdiness allows jewelry makers to form it into tiny, thin strands that will not break as easily as other materials do. In fact, a very thin sheet measuring at about ten feet square can be made by hammering just an ounce of gold. Artisans take pleasure in pride in manipulating gold to fit their creative needs and artistic desires.
Enjoy the Beauty
Whether you choose to have a plain gold bracelet or a bracelet with gemstones, gold bracelets are wonderful pieces of jewelry. They match almost any outfit, feel rich, and look gorgeous. Rolex New Model replicas,Rolex Submariner replicas and Omega replica watches also have the gold case and bracelet,they are beautiful and many people are attracted bu their beautiful color and appearance.
Many Colors
Alloys can alter the color and appearance of gold, from that of a true yellow-gold with a polished shine, to a rose tint that has been brushed for a subdued effect. Bracelets can easily be created in a length and weight desired by the wearer; and any additions, such as gemstones, are also chosen for the wearer's preference. Whichever color you choose, a gold bracelet is a wonderful addition to anyones jewelry collection.

The quality of jeweler's gold is calculated in karats, which are expressed in units of 24ths. Here is a nice chart showing percentage gold:

Gold jewelry, bracelets included, is priced according to its purity, or karat weight. A karat, or carat, is 1/24th part of pure gold. This pure gold is then alloyed with other metals (such as copper, silver, rhodium, zinc, and nickel) to increase its hardness and lower its cost.
Rose, white and green gold are all alloys as nature only makes yellow gold. All of other "colors" are a mixture of pure 24K yellow gold with various other metals. The percentage of the other metals (copper, silver, rhodium, zinc, nickel) produces the different shades of gold. Any karat other than 24K gold (pure gold) is called an "alloy".
Rose gold is created by adding more of the copper-colored alloys and using less of the any silver-colored additives. Increasing lighter alloys of silver, zinc, rhodium, and nickel will tone down the yellow gold.
With its subtle, natural appearance, green gold combines well when used with yellow, white and pink gold. An alloy of pure yellow gold and pure silver produces the green tint. For durability, harder metals such as nickel or zinc can be used.
Always remove bracelets before swimming, doing chores that involve water, gardening, and putting on make up.
