FAQ
How Do I Measure My Wrist?
The easiest way is to use a tape measure. Simply wrap the tape measure around your wrist and note the measurement in inches. If you like a snug fit, use the exact measurement or add .25 inches. If you'd like a looser fit add .25 - .5 inches to your measurement. In the absence of a tape measure, use a piece of string. Wrap it around your wrist and note the size of the string, then compare that size next to a ruler. Please do not estimate or count beads of another bracelet.

How Do I Use and Care For My Diffuser Jewelry?
Lay your bracelet flat and add a drop or two of essential oil to the porous element of your jewelry. For a more precise application, use a cotton swab or pipette. Use a dry cloth to absorb any excess oil before you put on your jewelry. Store your jewelry in a cool dry place. Roll the bracelet down over your hand onto your wrist to avoid excess stretching and don't like little ones tug and pull and the bracelet and it can cause over-stretching. Do not wear while sleeping or doing strenuous activities.
How Do I Use and Care For my Jewelry with Plated Metallic Elements?
All Gold, Silver and Rose Gold Hematite beads and elements are PLATED and not filled. This means that a layer of Gold, Rose Gold and Silver is added through a process called electroplating onto hematite. All plated metals will wear over time and to keep your metallic elements looking shiny and new, for as long as possible, it is imperative that you refrain from scratching, scraping, and rubbing the beads. Consider wearing your jewelry on your left hand if you are right-handed and your right hand if you are left handed to minimize excess friction. Do not use harsh or abrasive chemicals, soaps, scrubs, and lotions on or near the beads. Do not wear while exercising, washing your hands or while showering as perspiration from your skin or any damp or wet environment will cause the beads to discolor, quicker. To clean, wipe with a dry microfiber cloth and store in a cool dry place when not in use. Please remember that everybody reacts to metals differently, and your unique body chemistry plays a roll in maintaining your items as well.

My Letter Beads Aren't Laying Flat. How Do I Make Them Lay Flat?
Unfortunately they may not lay flat all the time or you may have some lay flat and not others. This is completely normal. If absolutely none of the letters are laying flat at any time, it may be a sign that your bracelet is the wrong sizer you are simply wearing too many bracelets are one time and they do not have the adequate space to lay flat. If the beads appear to have enough space, take a moment to assess the size of your bracelet and see if it feels too loose or two tight. Take a quick measurement and consider having your bracelet resized. Click HERE to learn more about the resizing process.
