Made to be lived in. A few small habits keep it that way.
A few simple habits help care for your stone beads and elastic cord. Start with the five habits below, then check any guidance specific to your stone.
Out of strong sun
Some stones, including amethyst and kunzite, can fade in strong light.
Off before water
Chlorine and hot water are what age the elastic cord.
Wipe it clean
A soft, dry cloth after wear keeps the beads bright. No chemicals.
Give it its own space
Store it separately in its box, away from other jewelry, so the beads do not knock or scratch.
Do
Wear it with care. Choose a comfortable fit and enjoy its color, texture and personal meaning.
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth after a long day, especially in summer.
Take it off before bed, water, and workouts — it lasts longer when it isn’t stretched or soaked.
Store it flat in its box when you’re not wearing it, away from windowsills.
Put it on last — after lotion, perfume, and hairspray have dried.
Don’t
Leave it in strong, direct sun for hours. Some stones can fade; follow their material-specific care.
Shower, swim, or sleep in it. Water and constant tension wear the elastic cord.
Soak it or use chemical cleaners, ultrasonic machines, or alcohol.
Yank it on and off. Roll it gently over your hand to spare the cord.
Toss it loose in a bag with keys or hard jewelry that can chip a bead.
The simple routine
Five habits. None of them take a minute.
01
Keep it out of prolonged strong sun
Avoid leaving your bracelet for hours on a sunny windowsill or hot car dashboard. The stones and elastic need care as a whole piece.
Why: light affects different stones differently. Some amethyst and kunzite can fade after prolonged strong light; rose quartz is generally stable in light and heat. These are material guidelines, not a fade timetable for your bracelet.
02
Wipe with a soft, dry cloth
After wear, give the beads a gentle wipe with a soft microfibre or lint-free cloth. That’s all most stones need to stay clear and bright.
Why: skin oils, lotion, and dust dull the surface over time. A quick wipe lifts them without any liquid or chemicals near the cord.
03
Take it off before showering & swimming
Remove your bracelet before showering, swimming, the gym, or washing dishes. Set it somewhere safe — ideally back in its box.
Why: hot water, soap, chlorine, and salt water are hard on the elastic cord and can leave residue between beads. Dry stone lasts longer.
04
Store it separately
When you’re not wearing it, rest the bracelet flat in its box, separate from other jewelry and loose quartz chips.
Why: stones are hard but not unbreakable. Knocking against keys, coins, or other jewelry can chip an edge. Separate storage reduces contact with hard objects; keep the box away from direct sunlight.
05
Be kind to the elastic cord
Roll the bracelet on and off over your hand rather than stretching it wide. Put it on last, after lotion and perfume have dried.
Why: the beads sit on an elastic cord. Rolling the bracelet on and off avoids pulling the cord wide.
A note on the cord
The cord is the one part that wears.
Check the elastic regularly for slack, fraying or damage. If the cord looks worn or the bracelet no longer sits securely, stop wearing it until you have checked the available repair options.
If you would like it re-strung, email us about your bracelet. We will tell you what is possible for that piece, including any cost, before you decide.
Cleansed before dispatch · Yours to begin
A fresh beginning, from our hands to yours.
Before dispatch, we cleanse every bracelet with sage and clear quartz chips. It arrives ready to wear, with its first cleansing ritual already cared for. In crystal practice, cleansing is a ritual of releasing energy associated with previous handling and preparing a stone for its new wearer. An uncleansed stone has not yet had that ritual fresh start; we complete it with sage and clear quartz before your bracelet leaves us. Open the box, choose what it means to you, and wear it into your own story.
Our sage & clear quartz cleansing ritual.
Your clear quartz ritual at home
Keep your 20–40g of clear quartz chips. Place them in a small dish in a quiet, dry spot, with your bracelet beside it. Keep the polished beads separate from loose chips to protect their finish.
Choose a moment to begin again. After a busy period, before an important occasion or whenever you want a fresh start, rest the bracelet beside the chips and return to the meaning it carries for you.
Make the first wear your own. Hold the beads and put your wish into words: welcome love, grow with confidence, protect your peace or begin a new chapter. Then wear it on the wrist that feels comfortable.
Cleansing is the crystal ritual; a soft cloth is the everyday cleaning step. Keep water, chemicals and prolonged strong sun away from the assembled bracelet. Small quartz chips should be kept away from children and pets.
A splash won’t ruin it, but make a habit of taking it off before showering, swimming, and washing up. It’s the repeated soaking and tension that wears the elastic cord, not a single drop.
Not all stones respond the same way. Some amethyst and kunzite can fade after prolonged intense light; rose quartz is generally stable in light and heat. Keep the whole bracelet away from prolonged strong sun and hot dashboards.
A soft, dry cloth is all you need — no chemical cleaners, alcohol, or ultrasonic machines. If beads feel grimy, a barely-damp cloth followed by a dry one is fine; just avoid soaking the cord.
Yes. We cleanse every bracelet with sage and clear quartz chips before dispatch, so you can wear it straight from the box. Keep your included chips for a fresh-start ritual whenever you choose; the steps above show how to continue at home.
If the cord has loosened or looks damaged, stop wearing the bracelet and email us. We will check what is possible for your piece, including any cost, before you decide.
Keep the loose beads in a closed container. Before taking the remaining strand apart, photograph it and save any older photos that show the bead order. Stop wearing a damaged strand. If you have a Studio design, keep its saved image, Design ID and full explanation too.
For a Stone Whisper piece, email us about the bracelet with photos, your order number if available, and which beads are missing. We will check what is possible, including any cost, before you decide. Natural replacement beads may vary in color or pattern, and fewer beads can change the fit.
Take it off if it pulls. Check where it catches: between the beads, around a spacer or at exposed cord. Fit matters, but a looser bracelet is not a guaranteed fix. If it is a Stone Whisper piece, email a close photo and your measured wrist size so we can review the fit and construction. A stretch-bead style may not suit every wearer.
For an ordinary jewelry bracelet, TSA currently permits jewelry in carry-on and checked bags, but advises keeping valuable pieces with you. Pack your bracelet in its own padded holder inside your hand luggage, separate from keys, other jewelry and loose quartz chips. Follow the officer’s instructions during screening. Check the current TSA jewelry guidance before flying. Other countries, airlines and customs have their own rules.
Decide whether this is a piece you want to bring: sentimental value can matter more than price. If you take it, give the bracelet its own padded box or compartment, separate from other jewelry and loose quartz chips. Choose one place to put it whenever you take it off, rather than setting it loose by a sink. Remove it before showering, swimming or activities that could snag the cord. See GIA’s travel tips for separate packing.
