Birthstone Bracelet

According to different cultures and religions, there are many!

If you want to feel more complete in yourself, some say wearing your birthstone will help you remain positive and balanced. You look down, and on your wrist, everything good about your personality shines back at you. It's truly special.

Having a birthstone bracelet was traditionally thought to provide protection against nightmares, along with other negative life experiences.

Whether you believe in these qualities or not, you can't deny that a birthstone bracelet makes you feel good! This is the magic of jewellery; the birthstone simply adds the cherry on top.

Birthstone or not, you can wear any piece of jewellery every day - under certain conditions.

First, you should take pieces like rings and bracelets when showering or cleaning. These instances involve chemicals that can be abrasive after a long period of time, even for gold and silver.

It is also a good idea to remove jewellery when you sleep. Tossing and turning can easily yank an earring out of your ear or wrap a necklace up in your hair.

Finally, clean your birthstone! Make sure to research the specific cleaning requirements for your gemstone to avoid accidental damage.

Aquamarine costs over a thousand dollars per carat. Not everyone can pay that price for a birthstone. Unfortunately, their value inadvertently leads to simulants, a term used in the jewellery industry to refer to imitation materials.

Contrary to what you may think, if the birthstone is too flawless, then it could be a fake. They are not big dents and scratches, though; you'll need a good magnifying glass to get close enough.

The colour will also be noticeably muted when compared to the real birthstone side by side.

When in doubt, take the birthstone bracelet to a professional, and they will carry out complicated tests you won't have access to at home.

Fake birthstone bracelets are an affordable alternative and look amazing when done correctly. However, it's important to know how to spot a fake as it will prevent you from being scammed out of a genuine one.

Garnets can be mistaken for rubies as they are both deep, rich red. However, at a closer look, you will notice garnets are more intense.

It may not be the most valuable birthstone due to its abundance, but it looks beautiful as a bracelet in lots of different styles.

As well as its looks, garnets are a symbol of love and devotion. Even if it's not their birthstone, what better gift than a garnet bracelet for your loved ones?

It's garnet, but how does it fare as a bangle instead of a bracelet?

The difference between these two designs is that a bracelet is typically closed with a clasp. Bangles, on the other hand, are solid. They are convenient as you only need to slip them on and off your wrist.

Garnets are usually deep red but can come in almost every colour, including yellow and blue. So, if you prefer a different option, you can still wear your birthstone while suiting your style.

As time goes on, this is becoming increasingly true.

One reason for this is that as people around the world adopted these gemstones, they developed separate meanings. It would be impossible to assign certain characteristics to a gemstone and expect every culture and religion on Earth to feel the same way.

In addition, some gemstones are much more expensive than others. For example, throughout history, topaz and citrine have been mistaken for one another, influencing the belief that they have the same beneficial power.

However, citrine is more affordable than topaz, thus earning its place alongside the latter as the November birthstone.

Looking for some flexibility in your bracelet?

Stretch bracelets are elasticated alternatives to metal bracelets. They offer a lot of comfort, but they can break if not cared for properly.

To prevent your stretchy birthstone bracelet from breaking, take it off when you have a bath or go swimming—any time you will be submerged for long periods of time.

Also, don't overstretch the bracelet; over time, it will lose its elasticity. If this is the case, it's not too late; you can restring them relatively easily. Carefully roll the birthstones off of the string and thread a replacement through them.

A cuff bracelet doesn't fully close. You can slip it on and off really easily, making it a great option for protecting your birthstone through years of washing dishes or simply going about your day-to-day life.

For a more delicate look, cuff bracelets incorporate birthstones into their design by displaying them on either end. If your month has two gemstones or you want to reference your loved one's, a cuff birthstone bracelet is ideal.

Cuff bracelets are also typically more robust than bracelets, so they are a good choice if you want a sturdy platform for your birthstone.
