Frequently Asked Questions

Q: What are beaded bracelets made of?

A: Beaded bracelets can be made from various materials including natural gemstones (amethyst, jade, tiger eye), glass beads, wood, or synthetic materials. At BODANCE, we specialize in natural stone beaded bracelets featuring genuine gemstones like amethyst, jade, aventurine, and tiger eye, each with unique colors and patterns.

Q: How do I choose the right bracelet size?

A: To measure your wrist: 1) Wrap a flexible tape measure around your wrist just below the wrist bone, 2) Note the measurement in inches, 3) Add 0.5-1 inch for comfort. Our standard 7-inch bracelets fit most wrists (6-7.5 inches). For a looser fit or stacking, consider sizing up.

Q: Can I wear beaded bracelets every day?

A: Yes! Natural stone beaded bracelets are durable enough for daily wear. However, remove them during water activities (swimming, showering), heavy exercise, or when using chemicals (cleaning products, lotions). With proper care, your bracelet will maintain its beauty for years.

Q: How do I stack beaded bracelets?

A: For stylish stacking: 1) Mix different bead sizes (6mm, 8mm, 10mm), 2) Combine complementary colors (not exact matches), 3) Add metallic accents for contrast, 4) Keep the stack proportional to your wrist size. Start with 2-3 bracelets and build from there.
