discolored
I was looking for something special as my "signature" pieces and after several weeks of looking for just the right ones - I chose these bracelets.  I ordered 3 - w/children's and grandchildren's names on them and I wanted them to be passed to my children when i'm gone.  Anyway, I loved them.  And wore them every day.  And took them off to wash, shower, lotion, etc...  Unfortunately, after about a month of wear (still loved them) they became discolored - both the inside and some on the outside.  I cleaned them a few times with the accompanying cleaning cloths and though they cleaned up nicely, they remained discolored.  I also found that they caused skin irritation.  I took them off til the irritation cleared.  Left them off for a week or so longer and then put them back on, even though they were discolored, I still like the bracelets.  the irritation began again  and the cuffs became increasingly discolored, even looking as though a coating of some sort is coming off.  I truly like these bracelets, but, i'm so disappointed not to be able to wear them- .  The ordering process is easy, packaging is special and it's clear the artisan cares about their product...
