Unisex Grounding Earth Bracelets

To care for a black onyx and gold tiger's eye bracelet, keep it dry and away from harsh chemicals and extreme temperatures. Clean it gently using warm water, mild soap, and a soft cloth or brush, then store it separately in a cool, dry place.

Everyday wear and general care
Consistent, gentle care will help preserve your bracelet's stones and stringing material.
• Avoid chemicals: Put on your bracelet only after applying lotions, perfumes, and other cosmetics. Harsh chemicals can damage the porous black onyx and dull the tiger's eye.
• Keep it dry: Always remove your bracelet before showering, swimming, or engaging in activities where it may get wet. Water can weaken the cord and stain the onyx.
• Guard against impacts: Onyx and tiger's eye can be chipped or scratched by hard impacts. Remove your bracelet during strenuous activities like exercise or gardening.
• Prevent fading: Avoid prolonged exposure to direct sunlight. Both black onyx and gold tiger's eye can lose their luster or change color if left in the sun for too long.

Cleaning your bracelet
Regular cleaning will remove dirt and oil buildup, keeping your stones vibrant.
• Prepare a mild cleaning solution. Mix a few drops of mild dish soap into a bowl of lukewarm water.
• Clean gently. Dip a soft cloth, microfiber towel, or a soft-bristled brush (like a baby toothbrush) into the soapy water.
Wipe the beads. Gently scrub each bead to remove any dirt or residue. Do not soak the bracelet, as the onyx is porous and can be damaged by prolonged water exposure.
• Rinse thoroughly. Run the bracelet under clean, lukewarm water to remove all soap residue.
• Dry completely. Pat the bracelet dry with a soft, lint-free cloth. Make sure all moisture is gone before storing it.

Proper storage
Correct storage protects the stones and maintains the bracelet's structure.
• Store separately: Keep your bracelet in its own soft pouch or a lined jewelry box compartment. Storing it with other jewelry can cause scratches on the gemstones.
• Choose a cool, dry place: Avoid storing your bracelet in areas with high humidity or extreme temperature fluctuations. A drawer or jewelry box is ideal.
• Avoid tangling: If your bracelet has a clasp, fasten it before storing to prevent the cord from becoming tangled or knotted.

What to do if your bracelet breaks
If your bracelet breaks, all is not lost.
• Gather the beads: Collect all the beads and any other pieces, like charms, and put them in a secure bag or container.
• Restring it: You can purchase elastic cord or durable beading thread from a craft store to repair it yourself.
• Take it to a professional: For an intricate or especially valuable piece, a jeweler or beading expert can professionally restring it for you.
