Bangles & Bracelets - frequently asked questions

Are Vpnam bangles real gold?

No. Artificial fashion jewellery; not made of solid gold. The Colour row on 45 of the 51 listings reads Gold or Golden, and that describes the colour of the finish rather than what the piece is made from. These are fashion accessories priced between ₹90 and ₹649, bought to match an outfit rather than as a store of value.

How do I know my bangle size?

Press your thumb into your palm as if sliding a bangle on, wrap a paper strip around the widest part of the hand in that position, and mark where it meets. Measure that in inches and divide by 3.14 for the inner diameter you need. None of the 51 listings currently states a size, so confirm before you order.

What is the difference between a bangle and a kada?

A bangle is usually narrow and worn in numbers, sliding over the hand in a set. A kada is a single broad, solid band worn on its own, and it is the heavier and more prominent of the two. Vpnam stocks both, along with bracelet-style pieces that open with a clasp instead of passing over the knuckles.

How many bangles should I wear with a saree?

There is no fixed rule, but stacks are traditionally worn in odd numbers, three or five to a wrist. If the saree already carries mirror, sequin or heavy sleeve embroidery, a single broad kada usually sits better than a stack. On a plain sleeve, mixing one broad band between two narrow ones holds together better than several identical bangles.

How do I stop artificial bangles from losing their shine?

Put them on after perfume, hairspray and hand cream have dried, and take them off before you wash your hands. Store each piece separately in a pouch rather than loose in a box, because bangles rubbing against each other scratch the finish faster than wear does. Wipe with a dry soft cloth only, never water or cleaning liquid.

What do bangles cost at Vpnam?

From ₹90 to ₹649 across 51 designs, clustered at seven price points with ₹449 the most common. At that level bangles are outfit-matching pieces rather than long-term purchases, so two or three sets in different colours usually serve a wardrobe better than one costlier piece that only suits a single saree.

Can I wear these bangles every day?

They can be worn daily, but the finish is a surface layer and daily contact with water, soap, cooking and hand cream will dull it faster than occasional use. One listing is described as a daily-wear design with small flat detailing, and flat shapes like it hold up better than raised stone-set pieces, where the raised parts catch on clothing and take the wear.

Do the bangles come as a set or singly?

It varies by listing and the product page states which. Several are described as sets, including thick and thin combinations designed to be worn together as an arranged stack. Others are single pieces such as kadas, bracelets and wrap styles. Check the name and the product page before ordering if you need a matched pair for both wrists.
