Comments:

Most bangles you see today are created hollow to increase the overall size using a reduced amount of gold. The downside of hollow jewellery is that when it gets damaged it is in most cases not possible to repair.

No such problem with this bangle as not only is it made with “solid gold” it is “solid” in that it has no cavity inside. I often hear customers surprised what they were sold as solid gold elsewhere is a hollow piece of jewellery.
