No! While one of the properties of gold is that it’s malleable, it is not too soft to use in jewelry, if crafted correctly. TIMIO chains and bracelets are hand crafted from 24K solid gold wire. In the process of bending and shaping the links, the crystal structure of the gold changes and work hardening occurs. The chains and bracelets are burnished for several hours, which further strengthens the links and gives the gold its beautiful luster.
