Bracelet Care and Tips
Bracelets can get dirty and tarnished very quickly, so it’s important to take care of them. There are a few things that you can do to keep your bracelets looking their best. When you get a new bracelet, take it out of the package, and leave it in the plastic bag it comes in for a few days to let it air out. Make sure it’s not sitting in water or other liquids. If you keep your bracelet away from water, it will last a lot longer. If your bracelet gets dirty or tarnished, you can put it in some olive oil or baby oil to clean it. Don’t put it in water, though, as that can ruin it. If you have a gold bracelet and it gets dirty, you can always take it to a goldsmith to have it cleaned.
Wrap your wrist before wearing a bracelet
The first thing you need to do is wrap your wrist. A bracelet is a cuff and unless it stays on your wrist, it won’t look right. So, wrap your wrist in order to get the bracelet to stay on your arm. There are different ways to wrap your wrist. You can wrap it like a cuff, or you can wrap it like a bow. Cuff-wrapping is done by holding the bracelet between your thumb and pointer finger. Then, wrap your wrist around the bracelet, trying to keep the open side away from your elbow. Make sure that the cuff is just loose enough to be able to take the bracelet off without untwisting the cuff.
Make sure your bracelet fits properly
The best thing you can do to make sure your bracelet fits properly is to try it on beforehand. Most stores don’t have a large selection of bracelets, so you’ll have to be able to try it on in the store. If you can’t try it on in the store, then you can always order a bracelet online and have it shipped to the store. Even if you do this, you should still go to the store and try the bracelet on. You want to make sure that it fits you properly. The bracelet’s clasp should close when you push down on the bracelet with your finger. There should be about an inch of space between where the bracelet comes out of the clasp and your wrist. If the bracelet doesn’t close properly, it will jingle as you move. This is a sign that you’ll have the bracelet hitting you in the face and getting in your way. You’ll have to constantly adjust it or go around snagging things.
Wear your bracelet on the outside of your wrist
For the most part, bracelets are worn on the outside of your wrist. Most people wear their watch on the inside of their wrist, but bracelets are worn on the outside. Many people don’t even know that bracelets can be worn on the outside of the wrist. Unfortunately, if you wear your bracelet on the inside of your wrist, it will get caught in the watch’s mechanism. If you want to wear your bracelet on the outside of your wrist, you will need a bracelet that has a semi-round clasp, or a lobster clasp. A semi-round clasp has a little half-circle at the clasp. You can also get a lobster clasp that opens like a lobster trap. It’s easy to open, but easy to close too.
Learn some quick clasping tricks
Many people are intimidated by the thought of wearing bracelets. You don’t have to be, though. There are a few tricks you can use to make wearing bracelets easier. To finish off the bracelet, hold the clasp between the tips of your index finger and your thumb. Then, just pinch the bracelet in between. This is a quick way to finish off your bracelet, and you don’t have to use your entire hand. To keep your bracelet from hitting your watch, put it on your wrist first and then put on your watch. To make putting on a bracelet easier, hold your bracelet in between the tips of your middle finger and your thumb.
Flip your bracelet for a different look
Most bracelets can be flipped to change the look of the bracelet. Just take a pair of needle-nose pliers and bend the bracelet around the pliers a few times. This will change the shape of the bracelet so that the clasp is on the back side. Then, flip the bracelet over and it looks like it has a different bracelet on it.
Conclusion

The best part is that it’s easy to maintain. Keep your bracelet care tips in mind, and your bracelet will stay looking great for a long time.
