- Will this bracelet irritate sensitive skin?
- The hardware is described as nickel-, lead- and cadmium-free, which suits people who react to nickel. Plating can still wear through with heavy use, so avoid prolonged sweat and water exposure.
- Is the gold real?
- No. It is 18k gold plating over brass, not solid gold. The plating gives the gold color and will wear over time, especially on edges and the charm.
- How long is the bracelet?
- The cord runs about 220 to 240 mm, roughly 8-5/8 to 9-1/2 inches, and is 3 mm wide. That fits most wrists with a little slack for an adjustable cord tie.
- What is the bead and hole size?
- The hole is 2.5 mm and the bead is 8x5 mm. That is a small accent bead, not a large focal piece.
- Can I wear it in the shower or at the beach?
- Better not. Water, salt and soap shorten the life of gold plating on brass and can discolor the nylon cord.
- Is it a good gift?
- It works as a casual gift for someone who likes tree-of-life designs. Keep in mind it is a plated cord bracelet, not a fine jewelry piece.
