The price of an 18 karat men's gold bracelet depends not only on the purity of the gold used in the bracelet but also on the number and quality of gemstones used in making the piece, the amount of gold used, whether additional precious metals were used in the jewelry and what the amount and quality of these metals was, not to mention the amount of craftsmanship that went into creating the item. For instance, if the bracelets design is intricate, if there is a large amount of gold and/or other precious metals used in the item's creation, and if the gemstones set into the jewelry are of high quality and in large amounts, then the bracelet could be rather pricy. I recommend you browse online jewelry stores and price indexes for more information regarding gold bracelet prices.

The price of a gold man's bracelet depends on the weight of the pure gold, which in 18k gold is 18/24 (or 3/4) of the total bracelet's weight. A slender bracelet will obviously cost you less:). Since men's bracelet's are a bit thicker than women's bracelets, I would assume a men's 18k to cost somewhere between $150 and $300.

18K is bit more expensive. You might prefer settling for 14K gold bracelet, which will result in a much more solid bracelet, although less pure in gold. That way you could add some small diamond ornamentation for the price of the 4K difference.
