To use this bracelet, simply open the spring hinge and slide it onto your wrist. It's designed to fit an 8 - inch inner circumference, so it should be a comfortable fit for most. When wearing it, avoid contact with harsh chemicals like perfume or cleaning agents as they can damage the 24K gold plate and the imported glass gemstones. To maintain its beauty, clean it gently with a soft, dry cloth after each use. Store it in a jewelry box or a soft pouch to prevent scratches. With proper care, this Julie Vos bracelet will stay shiny and beautiful for a long time.
