Bracelet Care
For crystal bead bracelets, proper aftercare helps maintain their beauty and energy. Here are some aftercare tips:
1. Cleaning the Crystals
- Use a Soft Cloth: Wipe the beads gently with a soft cloth after each use to remove oils and sweat.
- Avoid Water: Some crystals, like selenite and malachite, are water-sensitive. Avoid soaking the bracelet; instead, wipe it down.
- Gentle Soap (if needed): If the beads are dirty, use a drop of mild soap with lukewarm water on a soft cloth. Rinse briefly and dry immediately.
2. Cleansing the Energy
- Moonlight Bathing: Place your bracelet in the moonlight overnight, especially during a full moon, to recharge and cleanse.
- Sound Cleansing: Use a tuning fork, singing bowl, or bell near the bracelet to release stagnant energies.
- Sage or Palo Santo: Briefly pass the bracelet through the smoke of sage or palo santo for energetic cleansing.
3. Storage Tips
- Keep in a Safe Place: Store your bracelet in a soft pouch or jewelry box to protect it from scratches.
- Avoid Sunlight Exposure: Prolonged sun exposure may fade some stones, like amethyst and rose quartz.
- Keep Away from Chemicals: Avoid perfumes, lotions, and cleaning products, as they can damage the beads.
4. General Maintenance
- Remove Before Physical Activity: Take off your bracelet before exercise, showering, or swimming to prevent wear and tear.
With regular care, your crystal bead bracelet will maintain its beauty and energy for years!
