    How to Best Pick Your Accurate Hook Bracelet Size

    To measure your wrist, use a piece of string or soft measuring tape.

    Using String- Wrap the string around your entire wrist and bone. Mark the circumference of your wrist where the two ends meet. Lay string flat and pair measurement with a ruler. Measure tight.

    Using Soft Measuring Tape- Start at “0” and wrap tape tightly around wrist and bone. Mark where the tape ends touch. The number in inches where the ends meet is your wrist measurement.

    We measure in inches. If you would like a snug fit bracelet, then use your wrist measurement for your bracelet size. If you would like a little wiggle room then add ¼” to your wrist measurement for your bracelet size. The average female bracelet size is 6 1/2 and the average male bracelet size is 7 1/2.

    *For example, my wrist measurement over my bone is 6 ½”. I want my bracelet to move so I will order a 6 ¾” bracelet

     Bangles Sizing-Bangle sizing is different than sizing for your hook bracelet sizing. The average bangle size is 7 1/2. The bangle needs to fit tightly over your hand and knuckles to wear comfortably around your wrist; where a hook bracelet you fit over your wrist. If you think your hand and knuckles are smaller than average, then we recommend going a quarter or half a size smaller. Use this same guide for a larger fit. Please note our bangles are sold individually.

    Cleaning and Care for your ib jewelry

    Caring and cleaning your sterling silver
    Sterling Silver reacts to differing ph levels of your personal body chemistry. Please take care not to expose your sterling ib design piece to chlorine, bleaching agents or chemicals.

    Your sterling silver can be polished with your ib designs polishing cloth. If a deeper cleaning is required you can use a natural dish soap with warm water to gently clean your pieces. Non gel toothpaste is also a wonderful jewelry polishing agent. Using a worn toothbrush can help clean more intricate designs. Rinse in water, dry, and polish with cloth.

    You can also bring in your piece to get some special ib love and have your piece hand polished to look like new for $4.

    Caring for Opals
    Opals are among the most delicate gemstones commonly worn and require some special care. With a little knowledge and some common sense, your opal will stay in beautiful condition for many years to come.

    There are two main reasons why opals are regarded as delicate. One reason is that they are a relatively soft gem (5.5 to 6.5), so they can be easily scratched, even by common household dust. Another reason is that they have significant water content -- typically about 5 to 6%. If an opal is kept in a very low humidity environment, it can dry out and crack. Due to their water content, opals are also sensitive to sudden changes in temperature. If you need to store your opal for a long period, it is a good idea to keep it sealed in a plastic bag with a damp piece of cotton to prevent dehydration.

    Your opal should be cleaned gently with mild detergent in warm water with a soft brush or cloth. Bleach, chemicals and cleaners should always be avoided. Opals should never be cleaned in an ultrasonic cleaner because the intense vibrations created may cause cracking in your opal.

    Enjoy your exquisite one of a kind opal!
