A 916 plastic chudi (bangle) is a traditional Indian bangle made with a core of high-quality, refined plastic polymer and plated or wrapped with 22-carat (22K) gold. The term 916 refers to the purity of the gold, denoting 91.6% pure gold. These bangles are specifically designed to offer the rich, traditional look of solid gold at a significantly lower weight and more affordable price. They are popular choices for daily wear and as wedding functions.
