It includes a signature storage pouch; per care instructions, wipe clean with a soft cloth and avoid water, perfume, and lotion—some users note that as plated costume jewelry, the finish may show wear over time.","url":"https://www.simons.ca/en/women-accessories/jewellery/brand-name-jewellery/zizanie-open-bangle-bracelet--13789-42622?colourId=0","brand":"Gas Bijoux","condition":"new","product_category":"women accessories > jewellery > brand name jewellery","material":"Fine gold plated brass, colored threads","dimensions":"6x6x0.5 cm","age_group":"adult","image_url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/13789/42622/77/A1_2.jpg","additional_image_urls":[],"images":[{"id":"img-1784703002059-0","url":"https://imagescdn.simons.ca/images/13789/42622/77/A1_2.jpg","alt_text":"Zizanie open bangle bracelet product image (primary)","position":1,"attributes":{"other":{"summary":"Studio product shot on a flat, off-white background with soft shadows.

range: US$102 on the brand's US site, €80 in the EU, and $125 at Australia's David Jones — roughly a 10% premium over the converted US price in each market, which signals a disciplined international pricing strategy that protects against inflated regional markups.","icon_status_as_price_anchor":"The Zizanie is repeatedly called 'an icon of Gas Bijoux' in official copy across retailers and years, signaling a design with enough sustained appeal to avoid heavy discount erosion — so paying US$102 today is unlikely to be undercut by a clearance sale next season.","entry_level_gold_plated_bangle":"At US$102, the Zizanie is the most affordable way to acquire a gold-plated bangle from Gas Bijoux's core line, undercutting the next-cheapest gold-plated ring (the Wedding Band at $133) by $31, while still delivering the same handmade Marseille construction and EPV label — making it a strategic entry point for the brand rather than a down-spec compromise.","epv_certified_marseille_workshop":"The bracelet is handmade in Gas Bijoux's own Marseille atelier, which holds the French EPV (Entreprise du Patrimoine Vivant) label — a government

to style and layer the bracelet","entries":{"summer_arm_party_styling":"The Zizanie is explicitly positioned for the 'arm party' trend — the brand and retailers describe it as a piece to 'stack with other bracelets to create a summery arm candy' or a 'curated arm party,' signaling that the bracelet is meant to be mixed with multiple bangles, cuffs, and watches for a casual, festive wrist.","thread_color_versatility":"Produced in a wide spectrum of thread colors — at least ten, including Sky Blue, Orange, Navy, Lilac, Sage, Red, Brown, Teal, Hot Pink, Rose, and Black — the Zizanie invites collecting multiple colorways to create a personal stack where thread colors either blend monochromatically or pop against each other, much like stacked festival bracelets.","lucky_charm_talisman_stacking":"The brand explicitly frames the Zizanie as a 'lucky charm' and recommends 'pairing it with other bracelets' for a lucky charm look, which encourages building a stack of personally meaningful or charm-bearing pieces rather than a purely decorative set, turning the wrist into a curated amulet collection.","vintage_inspired_ring_anchors":"The bracelet's vintage-inspired rings are designed to layer 'like a treasure,' meaning when you slot the Zizanie into a stack, those rings create visual focal points that can bridge other gold or mixed-metal bangles, unifying a diverse stack with an heirloom, collected-over-time feel.","0_4_cm_width_for_dense_stacking":"At just 0.4 cm thick, the Zizanie is exceptionally slim, which means you can comfortably wear four or five of them together, or mix with other fine bangles, without the wrist feeling weighed down or over-accessorized — the result is a densely layered but still delicate stack.","adjustable_open_bangle_for_forearm_placement":"The open, adjustable construction lets the Zizanie be positioned at any height on the forearm — worn low near the wrist for a snug fit, or

made by a workshop officially recognized as part of France's living heritage, not just an anonymous handcrafted item.","1969_saint_tropez_founding":"André Gas, a graduate of the École des Beaux-Arts, founded Gas Bijoux in 1969 on the beaches of Saint-Tropez, handcrafting jewelry inspired by Mediterranean light — the Zizanie bracelet inherits a 50-plus-year design lineage that started as an artist’s project on the Riviera, giving it a storied provenance unusual at its price.","mediterranean_workshop_setting":"The bracelet is made in a historic workshop in the hills above Marseille, overlooking the Mediterranean — a location that informs the brand’s luminous, sun-drenched palette and infuses each piece with a sense of place, distinguishing it from studio-less jewelry brands.","second_generation_family_leadership":"The brand is run by founder André Gas’s children: Olivier Gas as CEO, managing international expansion to over 500 retailers across nearly 50 countries, and Marie Gas as artistic director, shaping every collection — meaning the bracelet reflects a continuous family vision rather than corporate design-by-committee, and the global reach hasn’t pushed production away from the Marseille atelier.","marseille_workshop_70_artisans_10_trades":"A team of 70 artisan-designers across ten specialized trades — including goldsmiths, enamelers, and gem setters — brings each Gas Bijoux creation to life, with a single hoop earring demanding thirteen steps; the Zizanie open bangle, though simpler, is produced in that same hands-on environment, so the colorful
