Jewelry Care & Handling

At Oriana LaMarca Designs, every bracelet is thoughtfully handcrafted using premium materials—including semi-precious gemstones, dyed agates, jades, and natural finishes. Because many of our materials are sourced from nature and treated for color vibrancy, they require delicate handling to preserve their beauty.

General Care Guidelines
To maintain the longevity and elegance of your bracelet:

• Avoid contact with water — Please do not wear your bracelet while bathing, swimming, exercising, or using a sauna or steam room. Excessive moisture can weaken the elastic cord and compromise both the structure and appearance of the beads.

• Keep away from chemicals — Hairsprays, perfumes, lotions, and body oils may interact with natural and dyed materials, leading to discoloration or fading. We recommend applying all beauty products prior to putting on your bracelet and allowing them to fully dry.

• Remove before sleeping — Sleeping with your bracelet on can lead to accidental stretching, stress on the elastic, or even breakage due to movement throughout the night.

Special Care for Dyed Jade & Agate

Many of our bracelets feature dyed jade and agate, chosen for their vibrant colors and striking patterns. While these stones are beautiful, they are naturally porous, and the dye can transfer to skin or fabric, especially under the following conditions:

• Exposure to moisture or sweat

• Tight-fitting bracelets causing friction

• Heat or humidity increasing skin absorption

If you notice color rubbing off on your wrist, it may be due to any of the above factors. This is not a defect, but a natural characteristic of dyed stones. For best results:

• Avoid wearing dyed jade or agate bracelets during high humidity, strenuous activity, or extended wear.

• If your bracelet feels snug or leaves an impression on your skin, it may be too tight. A tight fit can cause beads to press against the skin and accelerate dye transfer. We are happy to resize your bracelet.

Handling & Cleaning

• Roll on and off — To protect the elastic, gently roll the bracelet over your hand when putting it on or taking it off. Avoid pulling, tugging, or overstretching the cord.

• Clean with care — Use a soft, white cloth with a trace amount of mineral oil to gently polish the beads. Avoid water-based cleaners or submerging the bracelet.

• Store properly — When not in use, keep your bracelet in a soft pouch or lined jewelry box away from direct sunlight, humidity, and other jewelry that could cause scratches.
