Frequently Asked Questions
Size & Fit
How do I find my bangle size?
The easiest way to find your bangle size is by ordering our sizing kit. Your sizing kit will arrive within one week with a full range of brass bangles to try on. You’ll be able to “try before you buy” and experience the lightness and size of a Yearly Co. bangle before investing in your final item or collection.
A standard sizing kit includes bangles that come in increments of 1/4″ from 6.5″ – 9″
How should my bangle fit?
Each Yearly Co. bangle is made of solid 14k gold and can be worn 24/7 in all activities and environments (including sleeping, swimming, and exercising).
However, we understand that some people like to remove jewelry or wear it only on occasion. Because of this, we encourage clients to consider how frequently they will be wearing their pieces when determining their size. If your bangles will be worn all day every day, we recommend a fit that requires some force to get over the knuckles and sits comfortably on the wrist without the risk of sliding off. If you’ll be removing your bangles daily, we suggest a fit that is a bit looser over the knuckles allowing for an easier removal process.
There is no need to size up or down based on what bangle style you purchase. Thicker bangles may require a bit more work to push up and over the knuckles but they will all fit the same once on your wrist.

Wear & Care
How should I clean my bangles?
To clean your bangles run them under warm water and scrub lightly using a soft-bristled brush and dish soap. If your bangles become dirty or cloudy, wipe clean with the included polishing cloth from your order.
All Yearly Co. polishing clothes are treated with a compound that will add shine to your bangle. When the compound is used up, the cloth will become black and should be discarded.
What happens if I get my Yearly Co. piece wet?
Not to worry! All of our pieces can be worn 24/7 including in the shower, pool, and ocean.
What's your repair policy?
We are proud to offer free lifetime repairs. All Yearly Co. bangles are hand-crafted of solid 14k gold. We take pride in our in-house process and attention to detail. We create each piece in your size and add customizations with the intent that you can wear your bangles all day, every day, and never have to worry about damage to your jewelry.
In a very rare case, if a bangle breaks, please contact hello@yearlyco.com for information about our free lifetime repairs.
Materials
Does 14K gold contain nickel?
14k gold is alloyed with a small percentage of nickel. White gold has a higher percentage of nickel than rose and yellow gold. If you have a nickel allergy, you may have some sensitivities to white gold.
Is your white gold rhodium plated?
Our white gold pieces are solid 14k white gold and are not typically plated with rhodium. However, we do have some pieces finished outside of our studio that are rhodium plated by industry standard.
Those pieces are:
- The Etoile
- The Thick Etoile
- The Diamond Stud Earrings
- The Classic Gold Hoops
- The Diamond Hoops
- Necklace Chains
- Necklace Pendants
What stones do you use in your pieces?
Our stones are ethically sourced and chosen to stand up to everyday wear. We do not use stones like opal and pearls because of their delicate nature. We use SI1 - SI2 diamonds that are GHI+ in color.
Our gemstones and diamonds are genuine earth-mined stones. The only lab-grown stone we use is the marquise shaped alexandrite for consistency and cost.
