Product Insights
This Serge DeNimes open bangle offers a forged-look finish achieved through machine-made texture that replicates hand-forging, fitting most wrists with a 20 cm inner circumference. While the open design allows for adjustability, repeated resizing risks cracking or breaking the sterling silver; uncoated sterling silver tarnishes but includes a cloth to restore shine, presenting a choice between customization and longevity.
