Choosing the right size for a rigid bangle

• At 7mm wide, the Eric's rigid band reduces effective internal space compared to a thin chain bracelet of the same circumference, so if your wrist measurement sits between two sizes — say 7.75 inches — choosing the larger 8-inch size prevents the feeling of tightness that a heavy-set bangle can create during all-day wear.
• Because the Eric opens and closes with a clip, it is sized for the wrist just like a hinged bangle or cuff, not for the hand-pass required by traditional slip-on hoops — this removes the need to awkwardly compress your knuckles and eliminates the common mistake of buying a bangle that cannot clear the hand.

How the 14k gold finish holds up

• Midi34 backs all its jewelry, including this gold-plated bangle, with a 6-month warranty — for a $65 CAD piece, that duration implies the brand expects the gold layer to endure at least a half-year of normal daily use without failing, giving buyers a concrete, brand-backed baseline for the plating’s initial lifespan.

What Canadian production brings to this bracelet

• Midi34 operates a physical boutique inside Laurier Québec, the regional shopping hub, which means the bracelet can be seen and tried on before buying — a retail presence that implies the brand has enough confidence in its materials and fit to invite direct comparison with other brands.
• Unlike imported fashion jewelry, the Eric bracelet is designed and assembled in Quebec City as part of Midi34's small-scale operation of 2–10 employees — that combination of local production and a tight team has meant more direct quality oversight since the brand's founding in 2017, keeping the product firmly in the 'local designer' category rather than generic online inventory.
• Founder Jessie Bourgault started Midi34 in 2017 after losing her mother at 15:34 and the brand name references the time 12:34, which she calls an hour of significance in her life — wearing this bracelet connects to a genuine founder narrative and a Quebec creative identity, not just a logo.

How 316L steel wears day to day

• With 2–3% molybdenum added to the alloy, 316L gains specific defense against chloride ions from sweat, saltwater, and swimming pools — the most common cause of pitting corrosion in stainless steel — so the bracelet can be worn continuously through workouts and coastal vacations without developing tiny rust spots.
• With Vickers hardness of 120–200 HV, a Rockwell B of 70–90, and a Mohs rating of 5.5–6.0, 316L is substantially harder than sterling silver (below 100 HV) and 14k gold, meaning this bangle will resist dents and hairline scratches from daily desk contact, keys, or coins far better than a precious-metal bracelet, maintaining its polished surface for years.
