meaning

Start with what catches your eye.
Let the meaning make it personal.

How do I choose my first crystal bracelet?

Start with a color or stone you enjoy wearing, then think about what you would like your bracelet to represent. It might be a reminder to slow down, embrace a new chapter, or make time for yourself.

For an easy starting point, explore our Inspiration Library. You can choose a finished design or use one as the starting point for your own bracelet.

What do crystal intentions mean?

Intentions connect a bracelet with a personal idea, such as love, focus, or confidence. The meanings in our guides draw on traditional crystal symbolism; they are a way to make your jewelry personal, rather than a promise of a particular outcome.

Choose the meaning that speaks to you, or simply choose a stone because you love its natural beauty.

Can I mix different crystals in one bracelet?

Yes. You can combine crystals by color, texture, or the meanings you associate with them. A simple approach is to choose one main stone, add one or two complementary stones, and use spacers to give the design a little breathing room.

There is no single correct combination. For care, follow the needs of the most delicate stone or component in your bracelet.

Will my bracelet look exactly like the photo?

Natural stones can vary in shade, clarity, pattern, and inclusions, so individual beads will not be identical to the examples shown. Lighting and screen settings can also affect how colors appear.

Use the product description and images to understand the design and materials. If a particular color or detail matters to you, contact us before ordering.

02 / A COMFORTABLE FIT

Size & fit

A small measurement makes
a big difference to everyday comfort.

Read the full size guide →
How do I measure my wrist?
  1. Wrap a soft measuring tape around the place where you normally wear your bracelet.
  2. Keep the tape close to your skin, without pulling it tight.
  3. Note the measurement in centimeters.

No measuring tape? Use a narrow strip of paper or a piece of string, mark where it overlaps, then measure it against a ruler.

Is wrist size the same as bracelet size?

No. Wrist size is the measurement around your wrist; a finished bracelet also needs room for comfortable movement. Bead size and the design can affect the fit.

In the DIY Studio: enter your actual wrist measurement in the wrist-size field. Check the fit guidance shown by the designer instead of adding an extra allowance to that measurement yourself.

For a ready-made design, follow the sizing information on its product page. If you are between sizes or prefer a looser fit, contact us before ordering.

Which bead size should I choose?

6 mm: a delicate look that works well for a lighter style or stacking.
8 mm: a balanced everyday look with more visible crystal detail.
10–12 mm: a bolder presence that shows off a stone’s patterns and texture.

Available bead sizes depend on the crystal. Bead diameter and wrist size are different measurements, so check both when designing.

How do I choose a size for a gift?

The best starting point is the recipient’s wrist measurement. You can also ask about a bracelet they already find comfortable, but bear in mind that different bead sizes and styles can fit differently.

Avoid relying only on age or gender to choose a size. If you are unsure, ask us for sizing help before placing a personalized order.

03 / MADE PERSONAL

Your DIY
design

Your favorite stones.
Your arrangement. Your story.

Open the DIY Studio →
How does the DIY Bracelet Studio work?

Choose your wrist size, explore the available crystals and accessories, then add and arrange the pieces in the bracelet preview. Review your design, fit, and displayed total before adding it to your cart.

For a walkthrough, read how to use our bracelet designer.

Can I customize a design I already like?

Yes. Start in the Inspiration Library and look for the customization option on the design’s product page. When available, it opens that design in the studio so you can change the crystals, accessories, or arrangement.

You can also begin with a blank design and build your bracelet from scratch.

How is the price of my custom bracelet calculated?

The design price is based on the crystal beads and accessories you choose. Different materials, bead sizes, and quantities can change the total, which updates as you design.

Review the final bracelet price before adding it to your cart. Shipping, applicable taxes, and any checkout adjustments are shown separately at checkout.

What happens after I add my design to the cart?

You can continue designing or select View cart to review your order. In the cart, check the bracelet image, design summary, wrist-size information, and quantity before continuing to checkout.

Adding a design to your cart does not complete your purchase. Your order is placed after you finish checkout.

Can I change my design after placing an order?

Please contact us as soon as possible with your order number and the exact change you would like. We will check whether it is still possible based on the order’s preparation status.

Changes are not guaranteed once preparation or shipping has begun, so take a final look at your design and wrist size before checkout.

04 / KEEP IT BEAUTIFUL

Everyday care

A few gentle habits help preserve
the piece you love wearing.

Explore the crystal care guide →
Can I wear my bracelet in the shower or while swimming?

We recommend taking it off before showering, swimming, exercising, or using a sauna. Repeated exposure to moisture, salt, chlorine, and heat can affect the elastic, finishes, or some stones.

Apply perfume, lotion, and other cosmetics first, allow them to dry, and then put on your bracelet.

What is the best way to clean my bracelet?

Gently wipe the beads and accessories with a soft, dry cloth. Avoid soaking a mixed-stone bracelet or using household cleaners, abrasive products, steam, or ultrasonic cleaning unless you have confirmed that every component is suitable.

For a specific mark or unfamiliar stone, ask us about the material before trying a stronger cleaning method.

How should I put on and store an elastic bracelet?

Gently roll the bracelet over your hand instead of pulling it wide. Avoid tugging on charms or repeatedly overstretching the elastic.

When you are not wearing it, store it separately in a soft pouch or lined compartment, away from sharp objects, moisture, heat, and prolonged direct sunlight.

Do I need to cleanse or charge my crystals?

That is a personal ritual, not a requirement for wearing or caring for your bracelet. If setting an intention is meaningful to you, simply take a quiet moment to reflect on what your bracelet represents.

Avoid salt baths, soaking, or prolonged sun exposure as a default ritual. These methods are not suitable for every stone or component; gentle physical care comes first.
