How many bangles come in the set?

How to choose jewellery & accessories
Check the exact metal, finish and sizing before buying. An accessory's practical value depends on whether you can wear, maintain and repair it, not just how it photographs.
| Check before buying | Why it matters | Trade-off or limit |
|---|---|---|
| Base metal, plating and sensitivity | Ask for composition and relevant nickel-release information if you have sensitivities. | 'Hypoallergenic' is not a guarantee that you will tolerate an item. |
| Dimensions and closures | Check ring size, chain length, clasp type and weight. | A delicate finish or fastening may not suit daily wear. |
| Repair, provenance and guarantees | Look for resizing, replating, repairs and specific sourcing evidence. | A recycled-metal claim does not by itself verify stone sourcing. |
Common mistake: Do not confuse gold-plated, gold-filled and solid-gold descriptions; check the seller's exact wording.
