Product Insights
The Eric Bangle Bracelet by Midi34 is a 316L stainless steel bangle with a positively-locking clip closure for secure, one-handed wear; sizing requires wrist circumference measurement and sizing up due to the 7mm band width. It is hypoallergenic despite nickel, resistant to scratches, sweat, and saltwater, and the gold-plated variant has a 6-month warranty but wears with water (silver is solid steel). Designed and assembled in Quebec City by a small team, the bangle can be tried on in their boutique to confirm fit and finish, connecting buyers to the brand's local origin.
