Sizing & Care

Sizing

Our women's beaded bracelet comes in various size beads from 4mm to 10mm depending on the collection. As a guide, here's the common gemstone bead sizes used for the following styles:

STACKING BRACELETS: 4mm - 6mm beads

ALL OTHER GEMSTONE BRACELETS: 6mm - 10mm beads

The beaded bracelets are strung with durable elastic string making them easy to put on and take off for daily wear.

Depending on the design, we have the following bracelet sizes available:

14 cm - Extra Small - our smallest size that fits wrists measuring 14 cm
15 cm - Small - fits wrists measuring 15 cm
16 cm - Medium - fits wrists measuring 16 cm
17 cm - Large - fits wrists measuring 17 cm
18 cm - Extra Large - our largest size that fits wrists measuring 18 cm
if your size is not available in the product page, please contact us, we can customise it for you.

To get the best fit, measure your wrist with a tape measure firmly but not too tightly, it should fit snugly around your wrist, with no play or space between your skin and the tape. If you do not have a tape measure, you can still measure your wrist with a string or strip of paper and mark where the ends meet, then lay it against a ruler. The exact measurement of your wrist should be the size to select on our product pages. All our beaded bracelets are made with the appropriate allowance to fit your measurement, so there is no need to step up your size. Example: If your wrist measurement is 15 cm, then select 15 cm as your size.

If your wrist size falls between 2 sizes mentioned above (for example, your wrist measurement is 15.5 cm), figure out if you want a tight fit or a loose fit.

Snug fit - select the size down (example: 15 cm)
Loose fit - select the size up (example: 16 cm)

If you are unsure about your size, please contact us before or right after placing your order to have a 1-on-1 discussion on fitting.

Care

All of our pieces are handcrafted with love and care and made to the highest quality standards. Whether you are wearing them in your daily life, or save them for special occasions, there are some easy ways to ensure the longevity of your jewellery:

Avoid contact with perfume, lotion, makeup, and water and avoid wearing them during active or vigorous exercise/activity.
Chemical products, detergent, excessive sweat can damage the fibres and wear the elastic more quickly.
Keep your jewellery safe by keeping it in a cloth bag or a jewellery box when you are not wearing it.
Please keep your jewellery out of the reach of small children and animals. This protects the gems, as well as animals and children, from causing accidental tugging and breakage of pieces.
Our fine jewellery collection such as open rings requires additional care when wearing to avoid misshaping them or snagging on clothing or towels.

Our product packaging also comes with a free polishing cloth to clean off tarnishes or oxidation that usually occurs on 925 Sterling Silver metal.

If your beaded bracelet comes with white lava stones, it can become discoloured over time specially if you're using oils with natural yellowish colour or if it gets in touch with makeup. If this happened to your beaded bracelet, you can use mild soap or toothpaste with baking soda and warm water to clean it. Brush it lightly with a soft toothbrush or a magic eraser foam if needed.

In case of breakage due to normal wear and tear, we encourage you to please contact us at hello@annsaintjames.com or use our contact form to arrange for repairs. We would be happy to bring them back to life for you, rather than throwing them away, this way it is better for our environment.

All of our jewellery is thoughtfully handcrafted, unique and precious. Please wear them with the utmost care.
