Single Hammered Gold-Filled Stacking Bangle

$120.00

This Single Hammered Gold-Filled Stacking Bangle is handmade by Andrea Li: a hand-fabricated 12 gauge gold-filled wire bangle with a gorgeous hammered texture. Part of Aglow, her modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry built to be stacked, layered, and lived in.

The hammered finish is not a coating or a print. Each strike of the hammer against the 12 gauge gold-filled wire work-hardens the metal slightly, setting the texture into the surface permanently and giving the bangle a quiet, organic movement that catches light differently at every angle. The result is a piece that looks handmade because it is, and holds its shape under real wear because the wire is heavy enough to keep it.

Stacking bangles work because they are minimal on their own and layered together, and this one is made for both. Wear it alone as a single clean accent or stack it with other Aglow pieces, mixing metals and textures, letting the hammered surface read against smooth or softer finishes. Unlike gold-plated bangles, a gold-filled wire bangle carries a substantial layer of karat gold bonded to a base metal core, so the surface holds up through daily wear without fading at the edges.

How to Determine Your Bangle Bracelet Size

  1. Close your fingers together, bringing your thumb and little finger together (as though putting on a bangle).

  2. Using a strip of paper or measuring tape, measure around your closed hand at the widest point, pulling the tape snug against your skin. If you are using a plain strip of paper, mark the paper with a pen, then measure the strip with a ruler. This is the circumference of your hand. Match your hand circumference to your bangle size below.

    >>> Small = Approximately 7 1/2’’

    >>> Medium = Approximately 8 1/4’’

    >>> Large = Approximately 8 5/8’’

Is gold-filled the same as gold?
Gold-filled means a substantial layer of karat gold is mechanically bonded under heat and pressure to a base metal core. The gold layer is much thicker than gold plating, which is why gold-filled jewelry holds its surface through daily wear without fading at contact points. This bangle uses 12 gauge gold-filled wire, heavier than most commercial bangles, hand-fabricated by Andrea Li in her Denver studio.
What is this bangle made of?
Hand-fabricated 12 gauge gold-filled wire bangle with a gorgeous hammered texture. No stones. The hammered finish is work-hardened into the metal by hand, making the texture a permanent part of the wire rather than a surface treatment.
How do I care for this bangle?
Gold-filled wire is low-maintenance compared to plated pieces. Wipe it with a soft cloth to remove oils and store it away from harder stones that could scratch the surface. Avoid prolonged exposure to chlorine and saltwater. The texture will remain intact with normal daily wear.
What is the Aglow collection?
Aglow is Andrea Li’s modular collection of barely-there, naked jewelry: gilded, collectible pieces designed to be stacked and layered to enhance your natural form. Each piece is a timeless companion built for everyday luxury, from a single bangle worn quietly to a full wrist stack.
