The Kelei Bracelet ~ Add a touch of individuality to your jewelry collection with this meticulously handcrafted, 14k gold-filled bangle bracelet. Kelei, meaning 'the flowers' in Hawaiian, features unique floral texturing and mother-of-pearl detail. - 14k gold fill bracelet. 4mm width. (material description below) - Natural, mother of pearl or vibrant blue larimar detail - Secure design with 14k gold filled lobster clasp and chain - Relatively lightweight & comfortable for everyday wear - Nickel-free and suitable for sensitive skin Sized by circumference: XS: 6.5" (child's size) S: 7" M: 7.5" L: 8" XL: 8.5" XXL: 9" XXXL: 9.5" Diameter of each size: XS: 2" S: 2-1/4" M: 2-3/8" L: 2-5/8" NOTE: Size XS is very tiny, and often too small for customers :) Perfect for children or people with extremely small wrists. We suggest you measure for this bangle by wrapping a piece of tape around your wrist. Make a mark where the ends meet, and then measure that length. We suggest you add about 1" or 1.25" to that measurement to get your bangle size. For example, if someone's wrist measures 6" we would suggest a size small bangle (7") for them. Please note that size extra small (6.5") is usually too small for people :) When measured with a piece of tape, my wrist measures exactly 5.75". I wear a size small (7"). The extra small is too tight on me to be comfortable. Hope this helps! Please reach out if you have any questions about sizing; I am more than happy to help! *In Situ Jewelry was recently featured on Madewell.com as part of their Madewell Maker Collective, highlighting makers across the country. This bracelet was chosen by the Madewell team to be a part of their curated In Situ x Madewell Collection. Mother of Pearl is a beautiful, light peach colored stone with some slightly iridescent white parts to it. It is believed to protect against negative energy and bring piece to the wearer. Larimar is a vibrant blue stone which is reminiscent of exquisitely beautiful, tropical waters. It is believed to be a calming stone with many healing powers. This bracelet is gorgeous worn with the smooth version (pictured on the models), which can be viewed here: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1460292838/smooth-gold-bangle-bracelet-half-round Due to the nature of this secure-clasp design, you'll need a friend to help clasp it on you. But once it's on, you don't have to worry about it coming off/ losing it! You should be able to take it off by yourself :) Every piece of In Situ Jewelry is thoughtfully designed and handmade in our studio in coastal California. "Possibly my favorite in situ piece! I love the fit, width and blue larimar charm on my Kalei bracelet. It reminds me of a bangle my Tutu always wore and gives me a special feeling. I have been purchasing jewelry from in situ for a few years now and I've been extremely happy with every order. Suzanne's customer service, shipping times and quality of the products is outstanding." ~Lisa N. Pair with the Lehua Floral Earrings for a stunning set: https://www.etsy.com/listing/1724550091/lehua-floral-earrings-14-karat-gold-fill *14 karat gold fill is the highest quality gold next to solid gold. It can be worn daily in the shower, pool, and ocean; and it will stay shiny & new looking for decades. I honestly never take my gold filled bracelets and rings off and they look as shiny and gold as the day I put them on :) This precious metal is much higher quality than thinly gold plated pieces. 14k gold fill is composed of a thick layer of gold over jeweler's brass, which is actually fused to its base. This is why 14k gold fill doesn't flake or fade. It is the same color as solid gold because its outer layer is just that: 5% solid gold. It's not that bright yellow gold color that plated jewelry is. 14k gold fill is also nickel-free and suitable for sensitive skin. This precious metal will look shiny and new for many years, and requires no special care.
