Item details and appraisal notes
This bangle is presented as 999 gold, but the number must be read from the actual mark and supported by appropriate testing. Its opening, hinge or fastening point, inner circle, wall thickness and any distortion determine how it should be photographed and handled before weight is discussed.
999 gold bangle: construction, fineness and weight
| Feature | What to establish |
|---|---|
| Object type | bangle |
| Structure to photograph | Opening, hinge or fastening point, inner circumference and any distortion. |
| Measurements and weight | Inner diameter or circumference, body width and thickness, and gross weight. |
| Separate components | Number a pair separately; list a safety chain or detachable fitting only if present. |
| Purity boundary | “999” is a fineness claim, not a visual conclusion. Valuation requires the bangle's tested fineness, confirmed gold weight and the reference gold price used on the appraisal date, with any measured gross weight and confirmed non-gold fitting kept separate. |
Inspecting the 999 gold bangle without alteration
Construction and joins: Show the entire circle first, then the opening, hinge, catch, solder seams and worn load points. Do not assume that the body is solid or hollow, and do not force a stiff fastening merely to expose an inner mark.
Dimensions and scale: Record inner diameter or circumference, body width, thickness and gross weight with the scale unit visible. If two bangles form a pair, number and weigh them individually before giving a combined total.
Separate materials: A safety chain, detachable ornament or replacement fitting should be listed only when it is physically present. Keep cases, pouches and gift cards off the scale, and do not deduct an unverified component by estimate.
Four points around the bangle that deserve close views
| Area | What the object should show |
|---|---|
| Opening and hinge | Photograph the opening both relaxed and only as far as it moves without resistance. Use side views for the hinge pin, catch alignment, solder colour and any crack beside a moving joint. |
| Inner marks and wear | Show every hallmark in one oriented inner-circle view before enlarging individual characters. Flattened areas, dents and polishing loss should remain visible under soft raking light. |
| Weight-bearing sections | Compare opposite sides of the circle for thinning, stretching or deformation. A repaired section needs its location on the whole bangle as well as a close photograph. |
Keep the bangle in its present shape
Do not straighten, polish or repeatedly operate the fastening before review. Place the bangle flat on a clean surface, protect a loose hinge from movement and keep any detached part in the same numbered image group.
Bangle weighing and handover guidance
For the wider valuation sequence, use Gold and Jewellery with Gold Handover: Itemised Weights and Non-Gold Components. Apply those steps only after this bangle's fastening, mark and actual scale reading are clear.

Questions before an appraisal
What should you check before selling?
What matters depends on the item. Photograph both sides, the edge, hallmarks or base marks, and any damage. Include the original box, certificate or weight information where relevant so we can decide whether an in-person inspection is needed.
