★**Orders placed between 12/2–12/25 will be packaged in a special Christmas gift bag.** 🎄 **Add a touch of festive ritual to your holidays. Perfect for gifting to friends, for secret Santa exchanges, or as a treat for yourself, these are ready to be given as gifts.** ★**No pricing information is included in the package, so you can gift with confidence.** Here are some common questions you might have when purchasing a crystal bracelet for the first time, for your reference. **✦ How do I measure my wrist size?** You can use a soft measuring tape, like one for waist measurements. Wrap it snugly around your wrist without any slack. Since the elastic cord used for the crystal bracelets has some stretch, we recommend choosing a size that fits "snugly" for greater ease of movement. ▶ For more detailed instructions, please refer to: https://www.pinkoi.com/product/CpA3TqJm ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Do crystal bracelets need to be cleansed?** The need for cleansing (or "degaussing") varies among individuals. If you view the bracelet purely as an accessory, then special cleansing may not be necessary. There are many ways to cleanse crystal bracelets. Shining them in sunlight is the simplest method. If you prefer to cleanse them, you can do so by: 1. If sweat adheres to the bracelet after wearing, you can wash it with water and dry it with a soft cloth. 2. Periodically place it in sunlight (about once a week, or whenever you intuitively feel it's needed). 3. For colored crystals like amethyst or rose quartz, opt for indirect sunlight near a window where the light is less intense. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ How do I choose a crystal bracelet?** We suggest selecting a style that doesn't interfere with your daily activities or one that you find visually appealing. If wearing it brings you a little joy over time, it can gradually lead to positive changes. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Are the crystals natural? Are there any appraisal certificates or instrument tests to ensure their authenticity?** To ensure customer peace of mind and the quality of our bracelets, we had our crystals and natural stones appraised by "Taiwan Central Gemstone Appraisal Co., Ltd." in 2022. The appraisal reports are available in our design gallery for your reference. Due to the vast variety of crystals and natural stones, not all have been tested. **When selecting crystals, the designer is very meticulous and ensures their quality and natural origin through the following methods:** ✶ **Staying informed about industry trends and updates from crystal appraisal institutions. We avoid using crystal types that are difficult to authenticate.** ✶ **Collaborating with reputable suppliers who are transparent about the condition of their crystals.** ✶ **The designer inspects crystals under strong lighting or with a 40x magnifying glass to observe the internal structure.** ▸ For detailed information and sample appraisal reports, please refer to: https://www.pinkoi.com/product/KAk7bCrG ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Is it better to wear a crystal bracelet on the right or left hand?** There are many differing beliefs about the energetic differences between wearing crystal bracelets on the left or right hand. However, these beliefs are difficult to verify with data. We recommend wearing the bracelet on the hand that is "more convenient for your daily activities," based on your personal habits. There's no need to adhere strictly to specific theories; as long as wearing it feels comfortable and brings you joy, it will foster a positive energetic atmosphere. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Are your crystal bracelets of good quality?** Before crafting and designing bracelets, we go through numerous steps to select crystal beads. Taking "Green Aventurine" as an example, due to its natural mineral properties, it contains chromic mica, which may appear as small green dots or brown inclusions. Before production, **the designer uses a flashlight to examine each bead, keeping only those with superior color and texture.** **Ultimately, only a select few beads remain, making each bracelet exceptionally precious.** ✨ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Does the bracelet come with white crystals?** ▸ As many customers purchase for gifting, **each bracelet comes with 200 grams of large-particle white crystal cleansing stones + an exquisite jewelry box.** After removing the padding inside the box, the **white crystals can fill it to about 80%, creating a dedicated cleansing space for each bracelet.** Simply place your bracelet back in the box after daily wear for easy cleansing. ▸ If you purchase 2 or more items at once, they will be **individually packaged and labeled** for your gifting convenience. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Which crystal bracelets attract wealth?** In folk beliefs, "Amethyst, Citrine (not currently sold in our shop), Prehnite, Green Aventurine, and Peridot" are often associated with attracting wealth. However, our shop focuses more on the "healing aspects of crystals." In terms of healing: .**Amethyst** aids in listening to your inner voice and supports the growth of wisdom. .**Citrine** helps rebuild self-confidence and utilize potential. .**Prehnite** possesses a gentle energy that promotes healthy, positive vibes. .**Green Aventurine** can uplift your mood and encourage a healthy approach to work (Green Aventurine is a type of quartz, not jade). .**Peridot** brings the power of growth and helps restore energetic balance. Wealth has many facets and means different things to everyone. Crystals are not a panacea; for me, they primarily offer a sense of healing and gentle support on life's journey. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Which crystal bracelets attract romance?** In folk beliefs, "Rose Quartz and Strawberry Quartz" are often linked to attracting romance. In terms of healing: .**Rose Quartz** is a stone filled with loving energy, associated with "unconditional love and kindness." It helps foster a sense of connection with others and enhance feelings of joy. .In the crystal-related books I've consulted, there haven't been introductions to Strawberry Quartz yet (this might be because it wasn't widely mined or used until more recently). Visually, Strawberry Quartz contains mica inclusions, appearing as small red dots. Each Strawberry Quartz has a unique red hue; upon closer inspection, they resemble soft, beautiful petals. For me, Rose Quartz offers a gentle sense of stability and a tranquil atmosphere. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Which crystal bracelets enhance career luck?** Crystals commonly associated with attracting helpful people and career luck include "Amethyst, Citrine, and Prehnite" mentioned earlier. Personally, I favor "Black Tourmaline and Smoky Quartz" for their grounding presence: .**Black Tourmaline** acts like a protective shield, helping to stabilize energy and prevent disruption from surrounding chaotic energies. It also aids in transforming negative energy into beneficial energy, maintaining energetic balance. .**Smoky Quartz** brings grounding energy and a sense of stability. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Can I wear crystal bracelets while sleeping?** During sleep, you may toss and turn, adjusting your sleeping position. Wearing a crystal bracelet could potentially press against your wrist and disrupt your sleep quality. We recommend removing the bracelet before bedtime. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ What should I do if a thread comes loose on my crystal bracelet?** 1. Refer to the video: hold the bead next to the loose thread and gently pull the thread back into the bead. 2. After tucking the thread into the bead, gently adjust other beads to secure it. (**The short video is from 2024, so the thread is still white. Starting from 2025.7.20, the thread has been upgraded to "high-quality transparent elastic cord."**) ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ What kind of cord do you use for your bracelets?** We use "high-quality transparent elastic cord": ✶ **Durable and resistant to fraying.** ✶ **Resistant to oxidation and yellowing from wear and friction.** ✶ **Offers more stable longevity.** ✶ **Possesses excellent elasticity.** While all elastic cords will eventually lose some elasticity with prolonged use, proper care and avoiding excessive pulling can extend their lifespan. 🌿 ▸ For detailed illustrated instructions, please refer to: https://www.pinkoi.com/product/LGZEmQ2Q ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ The Handmade Value of Crystal Bracelets** Each crystal bead has subtle variations in size and color. The designer rigorously selects them before crafting to ensure minimal difference from the displayed photos. If a significant difference is found, the bracelet will be removed, re-photographed, or redesigned before being relisted. Each crystal bracelet is handmade in limited quantities and requires significant time for bead selection, photography, and design. **This uniqueness and high quality imbue each bracelet with the designer's dedication and expertise. If you have a particular bracelet you love, seize the opportunity to order it.** ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Can you arrange "XX crystal + OO crystal + △△ crystal" for me to see first?** As the design and selection of crystal beads for each bracelet require considerable time and effort, we are currently unable to offer free "preview arrangement + photo" services. We apologize for any inconvenience. 🙏 To ensure the quality of our design services, we require a deposit upon confirmation of your needs. **This fee covers design and consultation. If you ultimately decide to place an order, the deposit will be directly deducted from the order total; if you do not proceed with the order, the deposit is non-refundable.** **If you decide not to proceed with the modified design and choose to purchase an existing bracelet from our shop, the deposit cannot be applied as a discount.** ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Why is there a customization fee?** Pinkoi charges a platform commission for each order. **The current bracelets are priced with careful cost calculations. Customization requires back-and-forth communication and confirmation, for which an additional customization fee will be charged, ranging from approximately 300-2000 NTD (depending on complexity and number of revisions).** For example: Total Cost: Original Bracelet Price 990 NTD + Customization Fee 300 NTD = 1290 NTD (Free shipping within Taiwan, shipping to Hong Kong and Macau calculated separately). **Customized bracelets are made to order based on your specific energetic or personal needs, making each one unique and not resold.** Incorporating your requested crystals, designing, photographing, and communicating with you requires significant effort and time. The customization fee covers the following services: ▸ Material Costs ▸ Custom Design Consultation ▸ Actual Crystal Arrangement Trial ▸ Photo Confirmation (including multi-angle, multi-light source photography) ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Is Black Tourmaline from Brazil? (Does XX crystal come from OO origin?)** Black Tourmaline originates from many places, and we cannot definitively confirm it is from Brazil. In 2022, we had professional institutions in Taiwan conduct sample testing on some crystals primarily to confirm their natural origin, but determining the exact origin is difficult, and the cost of each test is high (over a thousand NTD). Our current focus when selecting Black Tourmaline is on its excellent texture and minimal cracks. ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ Recommended Bracelets:** ▸ "Wealth Attraction": https://www.pinkoi.com/product/wxifgnjA https://www.pinkoi.com/product/SPsxRRm8 https://www.pinkoi.com/product/Uitw2KmL ▸ "Interpersonal Relationships": https://www.pinkoi.com/product/MF54wy3C https://www.pinkoi.com/product/9wZrVzfz ▸ "Career Luck, Emotional Stability": https://www.pinkoi.com/product/fMmbV9DZ ▸ "Protection from Evil, Warding off Petty People": https://www.pinkoi.com/product/ZwQAJTbJ https://www.pinkoi.com/product/7g7Tey7v https://www.pinkoi.com/product/Kpwj9AL4 ▸ To purchase bracelets, you can add on white crystal cleansing stones (large): https://www.pinkoi.com/product/BZSsMCre ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ **✦ A Small Closing Thought** I resonate with a quote from "Crystal Inspiration Cards": "Crystals are not merely tools to fulfill wishes; they are direct gifts from Mother Earth, powerful energetic tools, and sources of strength." From the perspective of creating crystal bracelets, if a customer initially has overly high expectations (hoping for specific material benefits) and is ultimately disappointed, leading them to stop wearing the bracelet, I find that truly regrettable. **Crystal bracelets are primarily meant to offer a gentle sense of healing and subtle support. We sincerely hope they become cherished companions in your daily life.** ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯⎯ ✧✧✧ ✦ The descriptions of crystal and natural stone energies are synthesized from various books.
