Approximate Weight Notice: Due to the handcrafted nature of our jewelry and natural variations in gold alloys, listed weights are approximate. Minor differences may occur from piece to piece.
A half millimetre wider, and noticeably more substantial.
The 4.5MM Solid Byzantine Bracelet is built on one of the oldest chain patterns still made. Each link is turned through the pair before it and folded back on itself, so the run locks into a dense four-sided braid rather than a flat row. The result bends in every direction and springs back to shape — the reason the weave has stayed in production for centuries while flatter patterns came and went.
At 4.5MM the braid fills the wrist properly. The extra width adds about a third to the weight over the 4MM, which is the difference between a bracelet you notice wearing and one you forget.
The bracelet is cast solid in gold at the stated purity — no tubing, no filler, no plating. Every piece is XRF tested for purity and priced by its final weight, so what you pay reflects the gold that actually goes into your bracelet.
