Important Notes on Pricing
The prices shown here are based on raw gold weight. Actual bracelet and jewelry set prices at retail typically include an additional craftsmanship fee (iscilik) that varies by jeweler, design complexity, and region. This fee can range from 5% to 20% of the gold value. We recommend comparing prices from multiple jewelers before making a purchase.
Regional Differences
Eastern and southeastern Turkey traditionally favors heavier 22-karat sets, while metropolitan cities may prefer lighter options. The "mini gold" (minik altin) trend with smaller denominations has been growing in recent years due to rising gold prices.
Frequently Asked Questions
How many bracelets does the groom's family typically give?
While there is no fixed rule in Turkish customs, giving the bride 4 or more bracelets has become a widely accepted expectation. However, since financial means cannot measure a new family's harmony and happiness, the MetalTakip editorial team recommends that new couples do not pressure each other on this matter. There is no definitive rule, and in our view, there should not be one.
What is a wedding jewelry set?
A wedding jewelry set is chosen by some families as a "beşi bir yerde" (5-in-1) and by others as a necklace and earring set. It generally weighs around 30-35 grams total, though this can vary by region.
What is the difference between bracelet weights?
10g bracelets are thinner and more affordable, 15g are medium weight, and 22g are the classic standard for weddings. 25g+ are considered heavy and premium.
Data & Methodology
Gold prices are sourced from Kapalıçarşı free market data. Bracelet prices are calculated based on 22-karat gold's gram price multiplied by weight. Actual bracelet prices may include additional craftsmanship costs (iscilik). This tool provides reference calculations and is not investment advice.
