No - and here's why. Our bracelets are made from surgical grade stainless steel with 1.0 micron of 18K gold plating. That's 10x thicker than industry standard. Most gold-plated jewelry uses 0.03 micron plating over copper or brass - metals that oxidise, fade, and turn skin green. Ours don't. Every piece is covered by our 2-year warranty, so if anything ever isn't right, we'll repair or replace it.
