- The Collector - Natural Crystal Bracelet with Iolite and Natural Freshwater Pearls, Vintage Brass Bracelet

Crystal Bracelets | Efficacy, Size, Materials, and Care Instructions 《Crystal Efficacy》 Every natural crystal possesses a unique color, texture, and inclusions. Many people choose crystals that symbolize different meanings based on their preferences and needs. The "Crystal Efficacy" introduced by our studio primarily refers to crystal culture and commonly accepted symbolic meanings in folk traditions. It serves as a reference and inspiration for selection, not a guarantee of medical or scientific efficacy. • Iolite Symbolizes wisdom, calmness, and a sense of direction. It signifies enhanced communication skills, judgment, and self-confidence, and is also a beautiful symbol of career and financial fortune. Keywords: Wisdom | Career | Fortune | Judgment ⸻ 《Wrist Measurement》 Please use a soft tape measure to measure the thinnest part of your wrist, ensuring it lies flat against your skin. If you don't have a soft tape measure, you can use a string or a strip of paper to wrap around your wrist and then measure the length with a ruler. 📏 Please provide the actual measurement of your wrist, taken snugly against the skin with no slack. When crafting the bracelet, we will incorporate approximately 0.5 to 1 cm of wearing space based on your wrist measurement for a comfortable fit. How does wrist size affect the bracelet? With different wrist sizes, the number of crystals and brass components may slightly increase or decrease, but the overall design style and aesthetic will remain consistent. ⚠️ If modifications are needed due to incorrect wrist measurement: • Standard modification: Round-trip shipping fees will apply. • Toggle clasp bracelets: An additional NT$50 modification fee will be charged. • For wrist sizes 16 cm and above: Additional charges will apply due to increased material usage. ⸻ 《Purchase Notice》 All products in this studio are handmade and made-to-order. Each bracelet is personally selected and crafted by us. Except for products with obvious defects or errors in specifications, custom and made-to-order items are non-refundable and non-exchangeable. 🔮 Natural Characteristics of Natural Crystals The crystals, stones, and pearls we use are all natural materials. Therefore, each piece may exhibit slight ice cracks, cotton-like inclusions, mineral gaps, color variations, or natural textures, and no two will be exactly alike. These natural traces are precisely what give natural minerals their unique charm. 💎 If you seek perfect uniformity with no natural imperfections, we recommend confirming your acceptance before placing an order. 📿 Jewelry naturally changes with time and use. Brass may oxidize and change color. Accessories may also fade or wear due to sweat, friction, and the environment of use, all of which are normal signs of wear. ⸻ 《Can I wear it while showering?》 Crystals themselves are generally not afraid of contact with clean water. However, brass and elastic cords are less suitable for prolonged exposure to moisture, sweat, and cleaning agents. Brass tends to oxidize and darken after prolonged contact with moisture. Elastic cords soaked in water for extended periods may also have their lifespan affected. For toggle clasp bracelets, which are less convenient to remove daily, practical tests show that the brass components often darken first after prolonged wear. If you don't mind the natural oxidation of brass over time, wearing it occasionally for a shower isn't strictly prohibited. However, we still recommend: • 🛀🏻 Avoiding prolonged contact with body wash, shampoo, and detergents. • 💦 Rinsing the bracelet thoroughly after showering. • 🧻 Drying it completely with a towel or hairdryer before storing. • ♨️ Avoiding prolonged immersion in hot water. To keep your bracelet looking its best for longer, removing it when showering, bathing in hot springs, or swimming is the ideal approach. ⸻ 《Materials》 🔮 Crystals, Stones, Pearls All are natural materials, each possessing unique, naturally formed textures and colors. ✨ Metal Accessories Beyond crystals, metal accessories primarily use materials such as brass, gold-filled, or gold-plated K-gold, with specific materials varying by style. 📿 Toggle Clasp Bracelets Utilizes Japanese steel wire, a fine gold thread commonly used in jewelry, known for its excellent strength and durability. 🧵 Elastic Bracelets Uses Japanese silk elastic thread, crafted with a double-strand technique to enhance the bracelet's stability and longevity. The lifespan of elastic cords varies depending on the frequency of wear, degree of stretching, contact with moisture, and individual usage habits. If the cord shows signs of significant fuzzing, loosening, or breakage, stop wearing it immediately and send it back for repair to prevent the loss of crystals. ⸻ 《Crystal Purification and Daily Care》 After daily wear, crystals can be "purified/de-magnetized" according to personal habits. If you have a crystal geode or cluster at home, you can place the bracelet in it overnight. Alternatively, you can use white crystal gravel placed in a clean small dish, and then rest the bracelet on top. ✨ Purification does not have a fixed frequency; follow your own usage habits and avoid overdoing it. ⸻ 《Brass Accessory Care》 Brass oxidizes to varying degrees due to sweat, humidity, air, and individual body chemistry, so the rate of color change differs for everyone. If the brass color darkens, you can: • Gently polish it with a gold polishing cloth or a cloth suitable for brass. • Lightly clean it with a mild neutral detergent after wearing. • Ensure it is completely dry after cleaning before storing. When not wearing it, you can also rinse off sweat with clean water and dry it with a dry cloth. 💡 To prevent moisture from lingering between beads and not drying thoroughly, you can use a hairdryer on a "cool setting" to dry it before storing it in a resealable bag. ⚠️ Ensure the bracelet is completely dry before storing. Prolonged exposure to humid environments can accelerate brass oxidation and shorten the lifespan of elastic cords. ⸻ 《Daily Cleaning Reminder》 If you tend to sweat easily, it is recommended to clean your bracelet regularly. Over time, sweat and dirt can accumulate between the beads. If you use a mild neutral detergent when washing your hands, you can take the opportunity to clean your bracelet simply. After cleaning, remember to: Rinse Clean → Dry with a Towel → Ensure Completely Dry → Then Store This will keep your crystal bracelet clean and extend the life of your jewelry. ☺️ ⸻ 🤍 Final Reminder Every imperfection in a natural crystal is a unique mark left by nature; the color changes in brass over time will also gradually leave your personal traces of use on each piece. If you are particularly concerned about natural textures, mineral gaps, or color variations in natural crystals, or the oxidation and color change of brass, please confirm and consider carefully before placing an order. Thank you for choosing "Philosopher’s Stone" to accompany you in collecting a unique piece of crystal that belongs to you. ✨
