Gemstone bracelets and water
Can gemstone bracelets get wet?
A little accidental water is different from soaking, swimming, showering, or storing a damp bracelet.
Gemstone bracelets can usually handle small accidental contact with water, but Velastrand recommends avoiding showering, swimming, soaking, and storing bracelets while damp. Water can affect elastic, cord, metal findings, coatings, and some stone finishes differently.
Accidental splashes are not the main issue
A few drops of water are usually less concerning than repeated soaking. The safer habit is to wipe the bracelet and let it dry before storage.
Avoid showering and swimming
Soap, chlorine, salt water, and heat can be harder on bracelet materials than clean water alone. Remove gemstone bracelets before showering or swimming.
Dry the bracelet fully
If the bracelet gets wet, pat it dry and leave it out to air dry before putting it in a pouch, box, drawer, or travel case.

- Review current checkout total, shipping estimate, return terms, custom-order notes, and support path before payment.
- Use published support details instead of review or rating claims until real customer reviews are available.
