Jewellery & Crystal Care

Caring for Your Semi-Precious Gemstone Jewellery

Our bracelets are thoughtfully crafted using high-quality stretch elastic string to ensure comfort and flexibility. However, over time, the elastic may stretch with regular wear and tear. To ensure your bracelet stays in perfect condition, please follow these care tips.

Store Properly

When you're not wearing your jewellery, store it in a clean, dry place. A soft pouch or jewellery box lined with fabric will prevent scratches and keep the stones safe from environmental damage. Avoid leaving them in direct sunlight for long periods, as this can cause fading in some stones.

Handle with Care

While gemstones are resilient, they can still be scratched or cracked if handled roughly. Always remove your bracelet when doing activities that could expose it to impact, or excessive sweating such as sports or heavy lifting. Avoid wearing your jewellery while swimming or bathing, as water can weaken the elastic and damage the crystals at the same time. Always remove your jewellery before going to sleep.

Avoid Harsh Chemicals

Your jewellery should be kept away from strong chemicals, including perfumes, lotions, hairspray, and household cleaners. These substances can cause damage to the stones or dull their natural shine. Always apply these products before putting on your bracelet to minimise exposure and lasting damage.

Stretch Elastic Maintenance

Our bracelets are made with stretch elastic for a comfortable, secure fit. However, over time, the elastic may loosen with regular wear. If you notice that your bracelet has become too loose or stretched, don’t worry! We offer a free repair service to help restore your bracelet to its perfect size.

Caring for Your Crystals: Enhance Their Energy and Beauty

Crystals are believed to carry specific energetic vibrational properties that can support your well-being. To ensure your crystals continue to work at their best and maintain their vibrancy, follow these tips:

Cleansing Your Crystals

Crystals absorb energy from their surroundings and from your own energy. Regular cleansing helps to release any stagnant or negative energies they may have absorbed. You can cleanse your crystals by:

  • Smudging: Use sage or palo santo smoke to purify your crystals by gently wafting the smoke over them.
  • Running Water: Hold your crystals under cold, running water (check the specific stone for water compatibility first).
  • Selenite Charging Plate: Place your crystals on a selenite plate to energetically cleanse and recharge them.
  • Moonlight or Sunlight: Place your crystals under the full moon (*or sunlight, depending on the crystal) to recharge their energy.

*Avoid exposing your crystals in direct sunlight for too long as this can blanch the colouring and overall effectiveness of the crystals*

Protecting Your Crystals

Some gemstones are more delicate than others and can be easily damaged by strong light, heat, or pressure. For example, stones like amethyst, moonstone, and rose quartz may fade if exposed to direct sunlight for long periods, while softer stones like opal or turquoise can be scratched or chipped.

Only certain crystals can withstand water without getting damaged. Crystals that rank a 6 or higher on the Mohs hardness scale; a grading gemstone hardness scale, are generally safe to be placed in water. Please check your crystals are safe for water safe prior to cleansing this way.

Be mindful of where you place your crystals to avoid unnecessary wear and tear.

Programming Your Crystals

Many believe that crystals have the ability to absorb and amplify specific intentions. To enhance your bracelet's energy, you can “programme” your crystals by holding them in your hands and setting a clear intention. Simply focus on your goal or wish, and ask the crystal to support that intention.

Similarly, our left and right hands are said to hold different energy properties which can also be amplified using a programmed crystal. Your left hand is known as your 'receiving' hand and focuses on absorbing energy, whereas your right hand projects outwardly otherwise known as the 'giving' hand.

Wearing or holding crystals with your left hand invites the energy of that crystal into your own, and is best for inviting feelings of calm or relax. Wearing or holding crystals with your right hand sends that energy out to the universe, and it best used for promoting confidence or strengthening your connection. 

Connecting with Your Crystals

To strengthen your bond with your gemstones, take a moment each day to appreciate their beauty and energy. Holding your bracelet or any other crystal piece in your hands and meditating with it for a few minutes can not only enhance the connection, but allows you to receive the benefits of that crystal in full. 

    By following these simple yet effective care tips, your gemstone beaded bracelets will remain beautiful, vibrant, and full of positive energy for years to come. Should you need any assistance or have specific care questions about your jewellery, don't hesitate to contact us. We're here to help!
