Sizing Gemstone Bead Bracelets are meant to be worn snug around the wrist. The 7" is suitable for most women's wrist and 7 1/2" works for most men. If you need a different size, please contact the studio. Care Tips Hairsprays, lotions, colognes or perfumes can alter their natural finishes and are best avoided. Remembering to remove your beaded bracelets while sleeping, showering, exercising, or in a pool or sauna will preserve your bracelet. Being natural porous materials, gemstone beads can be highly sensitive to water and water temperatures. These same elements can weaken the elastic cord that holds your beaded bracelet together, which may contribute to breakage in the future if not cared for properly.  ALWAYS ROLL your beaded bracelet on or off your arm, rather than pull, stretch or tug on the beads. Repetitive tugging and pulling can cause the elastic to weaken and break over time and should be avoided. If you find your bracelet requires restringing, please contact the studio.
