How To Measure Your Wrist

Use a paper measuring tape to measure around your wrist. When measuring your wrist, stay close to your hand as possible, like so in the illustration above. If you don't have measuring tape, you can use a piece of string to wrap around your wrist and then measure the length with a regular ruler.

When placing your order, please specify the exact number on the measuring tape.

What’s the best way to take care of my jewelry?

Each bracelet is custom made to customer's wrist size. Due to the nature of the semi-precious stone beads, not one is 100% identical. The beads can vary slightly in structure, color and size. Stainless steel and semi-precious stone jewelry are beautiful and durable, but they do require bit of extra attention. Here are a few tips for taking care of your stainless steel and semi-precious stone jewelry.

Clean your jewelry regularly.

The first and most important step in caring for your jewelry is to clean it right after wearing it. Wipe it with a slightly moist or dry soft cloth. Do not use cleaners of any type to clean stone jewelry. Avoid harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners that can scratch or damage your jewelry.

Avoid exposing Jewelry to water.

Water can cause damage to some types of jewelry, especially if they are left in it for too long. It's best to remove your jewelry before swimming, showering or engaging in water activities. This is particularly for stainless steel jewelry, which can corrode when exposed to moisture for extended periods.

Store your jewelry properly.

When you're not wearing your jewelry, it's important to store it properly. Keep your stainless steel and semi-precious stone jewelry in a dry, cool place, away from sunlight or other heat sources. You can use a jewelry box or a cloth bag to protect your jewelry from scratches or damage. If your jewelry is made with a stretch cord, avoid storing them in extreme heat. Extreme heat tends to make the cords brittle, weak and lose its elasticity. They will eventually break.

Avoid contact with harsh chemicals.

Some chemicals can cause damage to your jewelry, so it's best to avoid contact with things like perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products. This is particularly important for semi-precious stone jewelry, which can be more sensitive to chemicals.
