Bangles for Sri Lankan occasions
Bangles are a staple of Sri Lankan celebration jewellery — worn for weddings, the Avurudu (New Year) season, and festive family gatherings, as well as for everyday style. Gold-plated bangles let you build a stack for occasions affordably, pairing with both saree and Western wear, while 925 silver offers a classic alternative.
How to tell genuine quality gold-plated bangles from fakes
Quality comes down to what's underneath the gold. Glamon bangles use a 316L surgical-grade stainless steel base with a real gold coating — not a cheap alloy that turns your skin green. Genuine pieces are waterproof, tarnish-free, and backed by a colour warranty against fading. A simple rule when buying anywhere in Sri Lanka: if a seller can't tell you the base metal or won't stand behind the plating, treat it as a red flag.
Is gold plating durable enough for daily wear?
Yes. Because the gold is coated onto tough 316L stainless steel, Glamon bangles resist water, sweat and tarnish far better than ordinary fashion jewellery — well suited to Sri Lanka's heat and humidity. For longest life, take them off for heavy chores and swimming.
Gold-plated vs solid gold bangles
Gold-plated bangles give you the look of gold at a fraction of the price, so you can wear and stack them every day without the cost and worry of solid gold. They're the practical choice for fashion and occasion wear, while keeping any solid-gold heirlooms for safekeeping.
How to choose your bangle size
Measure the widest part of your hand (across the knuckles with your thumb tucked in) and match it to the bangle's inner diameter. Sri Lankan bangles commonly come in 2.4, 2.6 and 2.8 sizes — if you're between sizes, choose the larger, or pick an openable style for an easy fit.
How much do gold-plated bangles cost?
They're far more affordable than solid gold, with options for most budgets — see each product for its price. [CONFIRM: typical price range]
How to care for your bangles (and prevent tarnishing)
- Remove before swimming, bathing or using harsh chemicals.
- Wipe with a soft, dry cloth and store separately to avoid scratches.
- Put bangles on last, after lotion and perfume. [CONFIRM: warranty period]
