Questions and answers

What is 18K vermeil and how does it differ from gold plating?

Vermeil is a thick layer of 18K gold over sterling silver, required to be at least 2.5 microns thick. That is much heavier than standard gold plating, so the color lasts longer, but it is still not solid gold.

Will the stretch bracelet fit my wrist?

Stretch bracelets are sized by bead count and bead diameter, not by wrist measurement, so check the listed inner circumference. Most fit average wrists around 6.5 to 7 inches, but larger wrists may find it snug.

Can I wear it in water or at the gym?

Better not. Water, sweat, chlorine and perfume speed up wear on the vermeil and weaken the stretch cord. Wipe it dry and store it separately.

How do I care for the gemstone beads?

Keep them away from harsh cleaners and ultrasonic machines, which can damage softer stones. A soft dry cloth is enough for routine cleaning.

Is this a good gift?

Yes if you know the recipient's gemstone preference or birthstone. The stretch fit removes sizing guesswork, though the fixed bead size means it is not adjustable.
