It measures 5 to 5.5 on the Mohs scale, which is soft for a bracelet stone, and the deep uniform blue that commands the highest prices comes from Afghanistan. Most lapis is untreated, though some material is waxed or lightly impregnated to seal surface porosity.\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\u003eLapis is porous and soft. Do not soak it, do not swim or shower in it, and keep it away from perfume, hairspray and anything acidic, all of which dull the surface. Wipe with a barely damp cloth and dry immediately. Avoid ultrasonic cleaning.\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.

Natural. The stone is a rock, so white calcite clouds and gold pyrite flecks are expected rather than defects; some material is waxed to seal porosity.\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=\"\/collections\/new-arrivals\"\u003eNew arrivals\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/collections\/bracelets\"\u003eAll crystal bracelets\u003c\/a\u003e\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\u003ca href=\"\/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":52480524288295,"sku":"VIN-TM-004","price":24.9,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0994\/2011\/1143\/files\/VIN-TM-004-01.jpg?v=1793293992","url":"https:\/\/vincryst.com\/products\/lapis-lazuli-bracelet-for-men","provider":"Vincryst","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
