If my bracelet broke, can I restring it?
Yes, you can.
There are the following steps to re-string the bracelet
The first step is finding the right elastic cord for your bracelet. You need some of stretchy elastic cord. It is recommended that the color of the elastic cord be similar to the color of the beads.
Cut a piece of cord the size of your bracelet, plus leave yourself at least three inches of elastic on each side to tie your knots and you can use the wire clippers are not the sharpest for this but they work or you can use scissors.
String your beads on the elastic while it is on the spool, and use a bead stopper to avoid having the beads slip off the cord. Pre-stretch your cord by pulling on each end before stringing. This is a really important step.
One key to successful results is to use a surgeon’s knot to tie the elastic. The surgeon’s knot is the most reliable knot for elastic bracelets. A surgeon’s knot is a square knot (also known as a reef knot) with an extra loop through. The extra loop helps keep the knot from slipping. You can add an extra half knot on top of the surgeon’s knot just in case.
After cutting the elastic cord, add a dab of glue to the knot. If possible, cover your knot. This makes your elastic bracelet look nicer, but also protects the knot from wear caused by rubbing between two beads.

How do I take care of my jewelry?
Tips on Caring for Jewelry
Because of the delicate nature of jewelry, any damage caused by wear and tear will not be replaced. Please follow the guidelines listed below to ensure proper care of your jewelry.
Keep it dry: Getting jewelry wet is always bad. It can lead to cracks, a lack of shine, and water stains. Therefore, always remove your jewelry before swimming, showering bathing, or cleaning with household chemicals.
Keep it away from chemicals: This might seem obvious, but you can find harmful chemicals in lotions, perfumes, and hairspray. Keep your jewelry away from these products.
Put it on last: To avoid chemicals, put your jewelry on last and take it off first.
Do not expose leather jewelry to water or any form of moisture, and always make sure your plated jewelry is dry prior to storing—moisture leads to natural tarnish.
Know when to take it off: Most people know to take their jewelry off before they go to bed, but forget to remove it when swimming, gardening, cleaning, and playing sports.
How to Care for Sterling Silver Jewelry
Sterling silver requires special care to preserve its appearance and longevity.
Sterling silver tarnishes when exposed to salty air, chlorine, sulfur, humidity, perspiration, cosmetics, household bleach, and other strong chemicals.
To prevent tarnish as much as possible, we recommend that you store your fine jewelry in a safe, dry place when engaging in the following activities:
Household and outdoor chores;
Showering, bathing, or swimming in pools, hot tubs, hot springs, and the ocean;
Using lotion, hair products, fragrances, and other cosmetics;
Exercising at the gym or during contact sports;
Preparing meals.
How can tarnished silver be restored?
While there are ways to minimize the chance of tarnishing, unfortunately, it’s inevitable that your silver jewelry will have some tarnishing at some point in its lifespan. However, can silver be restored to its original state if it becomes tarnished? This may depend on how discolored your jewelry is.
Washing powder and aluminum foil. Using laundry detergent and aluminum foil is one of the gentlest and cheapest ways to remove tarnish from silver, and it’s less likely to cause scuffs to your silver.
Sodium bicarbonate (baking soda). Baking soda helps dissolve organic compounds such as dirt, grease, and grime, so this is also one of the effective ways to remove rust from silver jewelry.
How can I clean the bracelet or something？
Cleaning & Caring Instructions for Your Bracelet
Following are the cleaning steps for gemstone bracelets:
First, clean your bracelet with warm water. Do not use detergent.
If there is any discoloration or build upon the beads of your bracelet, then clean it with a soft cloth before using warm water on it.
To clean the beaded bracelets, scrub them gently with a soft cloth and dry them softly with a dry cloth.
In the end, polish the metal-plated beads with a clean, soft cloth.
Following are the cleaning steps for wood beads:
Firstly, you can wash your wood beads only if necessary. Wash them by hand with just warm water or a small amount of liquid dish soap if necessary. Pat dry and hang it.
You can re-oil your bodhi seed beads, and add a fragrance if you wish. Rub a small amount of organic walnut oil, beeswax, or mineral oil in your hand along with an essential oil (optional) and then rub into your wood/seed seeds thoroughly.
If you live in a dry climate this may need to be done every few months to maintain the beads but otherwise once a year may be sufficient. Over time your natural beads will darken. This is a normal process.
