Handmade Natural Stone Copper Bracelet | Blue/Gold / One Size 101300554561741

How to Measure

1. Measure your wrist: wrap a flexible tape measure (or a strip of paper/string you can later measure) around the narrowest part of your wrist where the bracelet will sit. Note the measurement in cm or inches.
2. Choose your fit:
   • Snug fit: wrist + 0.8–1.2 cm (0.3–0.5 in)
   • Classic fit: wrist + 1.5–2.0 cm (0.6–0.8 in)
   • Relaxed fit: wrist + 2.3–3.0 cm (0.9–1.2 in)
3. Account for bead size: larger beads take up interior space. If beads are 8–10 mm, consider adding an extra ~0.3–0.6 cm (1/8–1/4 in) to your chosen fit.
4. If measuring a bracelet you already love: lay it flat, close the clasp, and measure the inner circumference end to end. Match that number.
5. Stretch vs. clasp:
   • Stretch style: choose close to your wrist size + minimal ease for a secure fit.
   • Clasp style: add enough ease for comfortable movement and drape.

Quick reference examples

• Wrist 15 cm (6 in) → Bracelet 16.5–17.5 cm (6.5–6.9 in)
• Wrist 16 cm (6.3 in) → Bracelet 17.5–18.5 cm (6.9–7.3 in)
• Wrist 17 cm (6.7 in) → Bracelet 18.5–19.5 cm (7.3–7.7 in)

Materials

• Natural Stone Beads
  • Cut and polished from genuine stone; each bead has unique hues, veins, and inclusions—no two bracelets are identical.
  • Typical hardness ranges from ~5–7 on the Mohs scale (varies by stone), making them durable for daily wear with reasonable care.
  • Color notes: some stones may show subtle variation under different lighting; porous stones (e.g., turquoise, howlite, lava) are more sensitive to oils and chemicals.
• Copper Components
  • Warm-toned copper wire/findings bring a rich, earthy glow that complements natural stone.
  • Copper naturally oxidizes over time, developing a darker patina; occasional brightening is easy (see Care Guide).
  • Some wearers may notice a temporary greenish mark where copper rests on skin—this is a natural reaction, harmless, and washes off with soap and water.
• Stringing & Findings
  • Bracelets may be crafted on professional beading wire with a clasp or on premium stretch cord for easy on/off.
  • Secure crimps/knots and protective covers are used for durability and a clean finish.

Note: Natural materials introduce normal, small variations in bead color, shape, and pattern. Copper tone may vary slightly as it ages.

Model Fit Reference

Use these references to visualize how the bracelet may sit on the wrist:

• Wrist 15 cm (6 in) wearing 17 cm (6.7 in): classic everyday fit with minimal drape.
• Wrist 16 cm (6.3 in) wearing 18 cm (7 in): relaxed drape; ideal for stacking with a watch or other bracelets.
• Wrist 17 cm (6.7 in) wearing 19 cm (7.5 in): looser, laid-back fit with more movement.

Bead scale guide: 6 mm = subtle/minimal; 8 mm = balanced/versatile; 10 mm = bold/statement. Choose the bead size that matches your style and wrist size for a proportional look.

Care Guide (to keep it lovely longer)

• Last on, first off: put on after lotions, perfume, or sunscreen; remove before bathing, swimming, exercise, or cleaning.
• Daily care: wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wear to remove skin oils and moisture.
• Copper care:
  • To brighten: use a jewelry polishing cloth or a gentle copper-safe cleaner. If using a mild lemon-and-water dip, keep acids away from the stones, rinse, and dry thoroughly.
  • To slow patina: store dry in a pouch/box with an anti-tarnish strip; optionally apply a thin coat of microcrystalline wax or a clear jewelry sealant on copper surfaces.
• Stone care:
  • Avoid harsh chemicals, ultrasonic cleaners, and prolonged high heat.
  • Porous/softer stones (e.g., turquoise, malachite, lapis, howlite, lava) should be kept away from perfumes, oils, and strong cleaners.
  • Avoid extended sun exposure for color-sensitive stones (e.g., amethyst, rose quartz).
• Stringing care:
  • Stretch bracelets: roll on and off—do not pull widely to stretch.
  • Clasped bracelets: avoid kinking the wire; fasten and remove gently.
  • Periodically check knots/links; store individually to prevent scratches.

Style Tips

• Stack it: layer with wood, leather, or other stone pieces for a textured, bohemian look.
• Mix metals: copper warms up gold and contrasts beautifully with silver—try a mixed-metal stack.
• Color play: pair blue stones with denim, green with earth tones, and black/white stones for minimalist outfits.
• Watch companion: wear next to a watch; pick a slightly longer bracelet for comfortable movement.
• Dress it up: smaller beads feel refined with shirts and blazers; larger beads make a bold statement with simple tees or knitwear.
• Seasonal switch: copper adds a sun-kissed glow in summer and cozy warmth to winter layers.
