Men's or women's 8.6 inch yellow gold filled Byzantine bracelet with Chinese dragon head, easy-hook toggle clasps. Made in a unique rope design of dozens of tightly interconnected loops, our Byzantine link bracelet is 22cm (8.6 inches) long and 9mm ( inches) wide, weighing approximately 90 (3oz). The base metal is copper, clad with 18k polished gold. Such a substantial bracelet as this in solid 18k gold would be cost prohibitive to the everyday person with the price of pure gold being $1937.75 ( /- $5.06) per ounce. A popular on-line store is asking over $295 on sale for their 8inch byzantine 18 karat gold plated bracelet. 

 *Our gold-filled jewelry has 100x more gold alloy than gold plated and because that layer is so much thicker, it means gold-filled jewelry lasts longer and stands up to wear and tear better than gold plated. All it would take is one small scratch on a gold-plated piece to expose the jeweler's metal underneath.
