{"product_id":"citrine-bracelet-carved-accent","title":"Citrine Bracelet, Carved Accent","description":"\u003cp\u003eA plain strand of citrine, graded for even colour along its length. The simplicity is the point, because a single-colour loop is easier to wear with everything than a bracelet with several focal points.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eWhat you receive\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eStone:\u003c\/strong\u003e Citrine\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBead size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 4-6 mm beads\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Single loop, elastic, no clasp\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eHardware:\u003c\/strong\u003e None - strung on elastic\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eFit:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 15-18 cm (5.9-7.1 in) wrist\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e Approx. 18-26 g\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eAbout citrine\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCitrine is quartz whose yellow to amber colour comes from iron inside the crystal lattice, together with natural irradiation that shifts the iron into a colour centre. Gem-quality natural citrine is uncommon; most yellow quartz on the market, including nearly all the deep amber material, is amethyst that has been heated to about 450 to 500 degrees Celsius, which converts the purple colour centre to yellow. That treatment is stable and accepted in the trade, but the colour can fade if the piece is left in direct sun for long periods. Hardness is 7 on the Mohs scale.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eFit and sizing\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIt is a single loop, elastic bracelet on elastic with no clasp, and fits approx. 15-18 cm (5.9-7.1 in) wrist. Because the core is elastic it rolls on over the hand, so there is nothing to fasten one-handed. If you need a specific length, message us before ordering and we will tell you what is in stock.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe with a soft dry cloth. Store away from direct sunlight and heat, because heat-treated colour is not permanent under prolonged UV exposure. Avoid ultrasonic cleaners if the piece is set in silver with glued elements.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eShipping and returns\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eOrders are processed in 1-3 business days from our Shenzhen studio.

Most commercial citrine is heat-treated amethyst; natural unheated citrine is rarer and paler.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWill it fit a larger wrist?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe elastic core gives roughly 1 cm of stretch, so it suits a wrist from about 14 to 19 cm. Beyond that the beads sit too far apart and the loop stops looking even. Message us if you are unsure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eIs it safe to exercise in?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eLight activity is fine. Sweat itself does no harm, but the elastic degrades faster with repeated stretching and drying, and a heavy gym session is where most elastic-core bracelets fail.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eHow long does the elastic last?\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eExpect a year or two of daily wear. Elastic fails from UV, sweat and repeated stretching rather than from age, so storing it out of direct sun when you are not wearing it makes a real difference.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eRelated reading\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/new-arrivals\"\u003eNew arrivals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/collections\/bracelets\"\u003eAll crystal bracelets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/es\/blogs\/journal\/sterling-silver-crystal-bracelet-guide\"\u003eSterling silver bracelet guide\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Vincryst","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":52480548536615,"sku":"VIN-TM-014","price":39.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/2011\/1143\/files\/VIN-TM-014-01.jpg?v=1793294593","url":"https:\/\/vincryst.com\/es\/products\/citrine-bracelet-carved-accent","provider":"Vincryst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
