Common questions, answered

Do these bracelets have a clasp? No. They are strung on strong stretch cord, so you simply roll them over your hand. They fit most wrists, and a slightly snug fit keeps the beads sitting neatly. Are they heavy? Hematite is dense, so even a thin strand feels substantial, which many people like. A wider strand of larger beads feels noticeably weightier than a slim one.

Will a magnetic bracelet stick to things? Strongly magnetized beads can cling to each other, to keys or to metal desks, so it helps to store them in a soft pouch away from bank cards, phones and mechanical watches. Can I wear one with copper? Yes. Hematite and copper are a classic pairing, and copper cuffs with inserted magnets sit comfortably beside a beaded strand.

Caring for hematite and copper

Hematite beads dislike long soaks. Take the bracelet off for swimming, bathing and cleaning, then wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Manufactured magnetic beads can chip if they snap together hard, so let them meet gently. Copper is different: it naturally darkens over time, and some people enjoy that patina, while others polish it back to brightness with a soft cloth.

Copper can sometimes leave a faint green tint on skin. This is a normal reaction between the metal and moisture, it washes off, and keeping the cuff dry reduces it. If you prefer a bright finish, look for copper pieces with a clear protective coating. For deeper detail, the care guide and the polishing guide walk through each step in plain language.
