💎 Man Made or Structurally Altered Stone

Although we use quality materials to construct each piece, we strongly suggest you care for your jewelry with the following tips:

• when putting your bracelets on: roll them over your hand slowly, instead of over-stretching the elastic to yank them over your fist (watch out for big rings!)

• Mind your Mala: It’s very common to feel the urge to “spin” the guru bead around on top of the tassel but remember: it’s stone vs. cord, and the cord can wear down over time.

• Snip - Don’t Rip! If you see your mala tassel has a few frazzled ends or stragglers, trim them with sharp scissors. Don’t pull the threads out of the bottom, they are secured with thread bond inside the tassel and won’t go without a fight

Keep your jewelry out of direct sunlight for extended periods of time

• wearing your jewelry daily in sunny weather is totally fine, we’re usually moving around, in and out of shade and so on

• leaving your jewelry on a sunny windowsill, or out in direct sun for a long time, all the time, is a big NO-NO since some crystals are UV sensitive

  Some crystals are colour sensitive to natural light (remember they’ve been forming underground for a loooooong time) and extended periods of time under direct sunlight can cause partial or complete colour fade

  This isn’t going to happen if you leave your crystals or gemstone beads out once or twice, this is just something to remember so you don’t make a habit of it

  Sun Sensitive Crystals

  Amethyst - Ametrine - Apatite - Aquamarine - Aventurine - Calcite -Citrine - Clear Quartz - Fluorite - Kunzite - Opal -Rose Quartz - Spirit Quartz - Smoky Quartz - Super Seven - Topaz - Turquoise - Unakite - Lavender Quartz

Swimming, Bathing, Cleansing Crystals in Water

A few resources out there will suggest cleansing the energy or re-charching your crystals in water. HOWEVER there are some exceptions!

Water Sensitive Crystals

• Crystals under level 4 of the Mohs hardness scale should avoid water altogether

  (below are some examples commonly used in jewelry)

  Amber - Pearl - Selenite - Calcite - Malachite - Angelite - Fluorite

• Selenite can dissolve entirely with one soaking (which is why we don’t use it for making bracelets)

• Hematite: although it’s a 5.5-6.5 on the Mohs Hardness scale, it should be kept away from water because it is an iron oxide that rusts when it comes in contact with water

Wood beads can also be damaged from soaking in water

• Cedar is quite strong as it has natural water-repellant properties, but dirt and oils that end up on your bracelets can lessen it’s natural water resistance.

• Alcohol based lotions can cause wood to dry out, use natural carrier oils to strengthen your wood beads

• Sandalwood can lose its natural fragrance over time if it is submerged in water

• Coconut Wood can dry out in bathwater, and salt water. Use natural carrier oils to help keep coconut wood from getting brittle

• Some essential oils can be quite drying when put on wood, check with an aromatherapist before using oils on your jewelry

Give your crystal jewelry an energy cleanse!

To recharge or cleanse the energy in your crystal jewelry

• Place your mala in a bowl or on a tray and leave it in moonlight overnight.

• Smudge it with sage, cedar, Palo Santo, or other herbs **make sure all are ethically sourced!

• Place your mala on a large high vibrational crystal such as Amethyst, Selenite, Citrine, or Quartz and let it rest overnight.
