How to care for your gemstone stretch bracelet and help it last beautifully

Gemstone stretch bracelets are wonderfully easy to wear, but a little care can make a big difference to the life of the elastic. Gentle handling and avoiding unnecessary stretching, moisture and chemicals will help keep your bracelet looking beautiful for longer.

How to Put On Your Stretch Bracelet

To protect the elastic and maintain the shape of your bracelet:

• Gently roll the bracelet over your hand rather than pulling or stretching it open
• Avoid forcing it over a clenched fist or overstretching the elastic around your thumb
• Take a little extra care with bracelets made from larger or heavier gemstone beads

Repeated overstretching is one of the quickest ways to weaken bracelet elastic, so gentle handling can make a real difference to its longevity.

Everyday Wear

For the best care, we recommend removing your bracelet before:

• Showering or swimming
• Exercising
• Sleeping
• Applying perfumes, lotions, oils or sunscreen
• Using household cleaning products

Also be mindful when wearing your bracelet alongside watches, bangles or other jewellery that may continually rub against the beads or catch on the elastic.

Gemstones vary naturally in hardness and durability, while elastic can gradually weaken through repeated exposure to moisture, chemicals and tension.

Storage

When you're not wearing your bracelet:

• Store it flat or naturally coiled rather than stretched
• Keep it away from excessive heat and prolonged direct sunlight
• Avoid storing it under heavy jewellery or other objects that may place pressure on the elastic or beads

If you enjoy energetically cleansing your crystals, you may also choose to work with methods such as sound, smoke or intention. As different gemstones have different sensitivities, we recommend checking the appropriate care for your particular stone before using water, sunlight or other physical cleansing methods.

Elastic & Longevity

Stretch bracelet elastic will naturally wear over time, particularly when a bracelet is worn frequently. This is normal wear and tear rather than a fault with the bracelet.

If you notice the elastic beginning to loosen or your bracelet needs restringing, please contact us (you can message us via the live chat). Where possible, we're happy to discuss repair or restringing options and help you determine the best next step.
