Sizing & Care

Taking care of your GaleForce Design jewelry is as essential as appreciating its unique beauty. Proper maintenance helps to ensure your pieces retain their luster and charm over time. Explore the care guidelines below to keep your jewelry looking its best.

EARRINGS

The front side of GaleForce Design earrings are expertly sealed to maintain their pristine appearance with minimal upkeep. This special sealing process means you can enjoy your earrings with confidence, knowing that they require virtually no maintenance. Simply treat them with the same care you would any special jewelry, and they’ll retain their quality and longevity effortlessly.

To ensure their lasting beauty, it’s best to avoid exposure to water, lotions, sprays, cleaners, perfumes, abrasives, and similar substances, as these can affect their appearance. As the earrings age naturally, the nickel-free ear wires and other components will develop a unique patina, adding to their charm and character over time. If you wish to maintain the ear wires’ shine, simply polish them gently using a soft cloth. However, avoid submerging the earrings in polishing solutions, and refrain from using a polishing cloth on the front side of the earring to prevent compromising the sealing process and altering the intentionally applied colors.

BRACELET SIZING

Most of my cuffs are crafted from thick 14-gauge (1.6 mm) copper. The standard bracelet size measures 1″ W x 6” L with a 1.25” opening in the back for easy wrist access. These cuffs are adjustable and typically accommodate wrist sizes ranging from 5 3/4” to 7 3/4”, depending on your preference for a snug or loose fit.

To ensure the perfect fit, I recommend measuring your wrist with a soft tape measure. If you’re uncertain about your size, measuring a bracelet you already love can provide helpful guidance in determining whether the standard 6″ length is suitable. Custom sizing is available upon request, with potential fees. If you have any questions or need assistance with sizing, please free to contact me.

Measuring with a Soft Tape Measure:

  1. Begin by wrapping the soft tape measure around the widest part of your wrist, over the top of your wrist bone.
  2. Ensure that the tape measure is snug but not too tight, allowing for a comfortable fit.
  3. Take note of the measurement in inches or centimeters, depending on the units marked on the tape measure.
  4. This measurement will help you determine the size of the bracelet that will best fit your wrist.

Measuring with a Piece of Paper:

  1. Take a strip of paper and wrap it around the widest part of your wrist, over the top of your wrist bone.
  2. Mark the point where the paper overlaps with a pen or pencil.
  3. Lay the paper flat and use a ruler to measure the length from the edge of the paper to the marked point.
  4. This measurement represents the circumference of your wrist and can be used to determine the appropriate bracelet size.

By following these methods, you can accurately measure your wrist and ensure the perfect fit for your bracelet.

Adjusting Your Cuff

To adjust the cuff, apply even pressure on both sides of the opening. Be sure to leave a sufficient but comfortable amount of space for easy removal without it being too loose. It’s important to note that frequent adjustments to metal jewelry are not advisable as they can affect the integrity of the piece over time. When putting on or taking off the bracelet, using a sideways approach just above your wrist bone, in the soft part of your forearm, can facilitate the process.

Important Note

Deviating from the described method for sizing, wearing, or removing the bracelet may result in it becoming misshapen and uncomfortable. Refer to the image and video below for reference and demonstration.

By following these care and fitting tips, you can ensure that your GaleForce Design bracelet fits perfectly and remains a cherished piece in your collection.
