Gold bangles may contain steel tension wires

To give gold bangles extra rigidity, it’s very common for them to contain steel tension wires. Bangles that contain wires are usually made from a flat strip of gold with the edges folded over. The steel wire sits inside the fold. Some bangles contain a single wire, others contain two.

If your gold bangle sticks to a strong magnet, it’s most likely there’s a wire running through it. You can have a go at removing it yourself by unfolding one end with a pair of pliers and pulling the wire out, however please watch your fingers and take care of flying wires and unguarded eyes!
