This isn't a perfect circle. We make our bangles in an oval shape so they don't spin around on your arm. The clasp is just heavy enough to stay on the underside of your wrist, keeping the smooth, unbroken curve facing up and centred all day.
This is a solid band of polished gold, curved into an oval that follows the shape of the wrist. Its outer surface is smoothly rounded, with a high-polish finish that catches a clean, unbroken line of light. On one side, a simple, tidy hinge allows the bangle to open. On the other, a box clasp clicks shut and is then secured by a small figure-eight safety latch that snaps firmly over the top.
We make this bangle from solid 10K gold, which is 41.7% pure gold blended with other metals for strength. This alloy is significantly harder than 14K or 18K gold, which means it’s very resistant to the dents and scratches that come with wearing a bracelet every day. A bangle takes a lot of knocks, and 10K gold is tough enough to handle it. The colour is a slightly softer, paler yellow than higher-karat gold, and it won't tarnish.

You'd pick this bangle if you want something you can put on and forget about. The hinge and double-latch clasp mean you don't have to force it over your hand, and it's not coming off by accident. It’s solid, durable, and built for actual daily life.
Frequently Asked Questions
Will the 10K gold of the Classic Bangle bend or dent easily with daily wear?
No, the Classic Bangle is very resistant to bending and denting. It's made from 10K gold, an alloy that's harder and more durable than 14K or 18K gold. This makes it a really practical choice for a bracelet you plan to wear often without being overly careful.
Can I wear my Classic Bangle in the shower or while swimming?
Yes, you can wear your gold bangle in the shower. However, we advise taking it off before swimming in a chlorinated pool or hot tub, as the chemicals can slowly damage the alloys in the gold over time. If you do wear it in the pool, just rinse it with clean water afterwards.
How do I know if the Classic Bangle will fit my wrist correctly since it's a fixed size?
This bangle is designed to fit wrists up to 7 inches in circumference. The best way to check your size is to wrap a string or measuring tape snugly around your wrist bone. The oval shape allows for a more comfortable fit than a round bangle, as it doesn't rotate as much.
What happens if I receive the Classic Bangle and it doesn't fit or I change my mind?
You can return the bangle within 30 days of delivery for a full refund. Just email us at returns@vanhess.ca, and we'll send you a prepaid shipping label. The piece just needs to be returned in its original, unworn condition with the packaging it came in.
How long does shipping for the Classic Bangle take to the United States or Canada?
