You can use a soft tape measure or a strip of paper to measure. The designer will add 0.7 cm to the wrist measurement you choose, to allow for a comfortable fit and room for the bracelet to move on your wrist. For the adjustable sliding bracelet, the measurement you provide will be used for the length of the gemstone layer. After wearing, the gemstone layer will be wrapped around your wrist and an additional 0.7 cm will be added. The chain hanging down will then be adjusted to match the length of the gemstone layer. If you prefer a looser fit with the bracelet hanging lower on your wrist, the designer can leave an extra 1 cm or 1.5 cm extra, or you can indicate your preferred length in the notes. ——————————————— ☽ Choosing the right crystal is a personal decision. Go with what feels right for you! - First, figure out your intention. What do you want the crystal to help with? Healing? Stress relief? Focus? Love? - Research different crystals and their properties. Multiple sources can give you info on what each crystal is good for. - Follow your intuition - you'll likely be drawn to a certain crystal for a reason. Pick the one that calls to you. - Hold the crystals and feel their energies. Close your eyes, note their weight, temperature and texture. Which one feels calming? Vibrant? Soothing? - Once you've chosen, cleanse and charge your crystal regularly. This can be done through sage smudging, leaving it in the sunlight, or burying it in salt. Re-energising keeps the crystal working at its best. - Remember crystals are tools to help with self-discovery, not medical treatment. For any serious issues, seek professional help first. - Overall, trust your gut and choose what feels right for you and your goals. Crystals have the power to enhance your intention and aid your journey, so find the one that matches your unique energy! ——————————————— ☽ key points regarding care of gold-plated jewellery: • Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight, water, chemicals, perfumes and cosmetics. Store in the provided bag when not in use. • Remove jewellery before activities like swimming, hot tubs, washing hands frequently, etc. The chemicals and exposure can cause faster degradation of the plating. • Gold plating will naturally fade and oxidise over time due to air exposure. • When not in use, wipe jewellery clean with a dry cloth and store in the provided cotton bag and the sealed plastic bag to protect plating and maintain colour. The cotton bag helps absorb moisture that can cause tarnishing. • Gold plating is more delicate than solid gold jewellery. Following the care recommendations can help extend the life of gold-plated pieces and maintain their appearance for longer. ☽ Natural variations, unique markings and subtle differences in size and hue are all characteristics you'd expect to see in genuine stones used for jewellery making. The non-identical yet harmonious blend of gemstone beads and crystals helps create an organic, one-of-a-kind piece you'll love wearing. The designer will select beads and stones that are aesthetically pleasing and well-matched for the design. However, the natural variations mean that not all beads will be precisely identical. ☽ Handle with care. The beads and components are natural materials that can break if handled roughly. Due to the nature of handmade jewellery, please understand that there may be slight variations in each finished product, but overall, there will not be a big difference compared to the product photos. Note that the photos may also have colour differences due to natural light and different computer screens. ☽ If the customer reports incorrect wrist measurements or order information, resulting in the need to modify the style or size again after receiving the product, the customer will bear the additional postage and extra production fees. ☽ If you have a tendency to be sensitive to metals, please think carefully before placing an order. ☽ Hong Kong customers: If there is no intentional damage, free repairs can be provided within 3 months after purchase. Repairs or size adjustments after the warranty period will be quoted based on the customer's photo situation. The customer is responsible for the round-trip shipping cost. ☽ If you have any issues or damage occurs despite proper care, please contact me and I'll do my best to resolve the problem for you. With proper care and handling, your unique beaded bracelet made from natural materials should provide you with many years of enjoyment.
