----------------------

COAT OF ARMS: The eagle has been part of the coats of arms of the rulers and governments of Germany since the days of the Holy Roman Empire and is still in use today as Germany's national symbol. It is one of the oldest coats of arms in the world and is the oldest national symbol used in Europe. The Germanic Coat of Arms symbol was used as a socialist insignia by the German Democratic Republic (East Germany) from 1950 until its reunification with West Germany in 1990. The eagle has taken many forms over the centuries as coats of arms -- some double headed, other single headed - but none resemble the eagles adopted by the Nazi Party and the Third Reich in the years preceding World War II.

RAW TIGER EYE: Associated with a host of healing properties; such as bringing insight into complex situations, protecting us from negative energies, deepening mental clarity, attracting good luck, grounding and centering personal energy, and dispelling fears. It helps us to see ourselves and the world better. It is an intense yet well-grounded natural gemstone, said to enhance psychic and empathic energies, while protecting its wearer with an unblinking eye.

PICASSO JASPER: A meditative natural stone known for its ability to attract positive people into one's life, to support and encourage friendships, and to help guide us during relationship transitions. It promotes inner clarity and the manifestation of our imaginative ideas. Its strong grounding and calming attributes help one cultivate strength and self-discipline and can unblock stifled creativity. Its lined pattern characteristics are naturally formed by iron oxides and its beautiful color results from heat and pressure deep within Mother Earth.

♡ All bracelets come with instruction tips on how to best care for your stretch bead bracelet.

HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY ~ Bracelets are constructed one at a time and therefore no two will be exactly alike. Due to variations in both materials and sourced supplies, slight imperfections are to be expected. Natural beads and stones often contain flaws, blemishes, variations and inclusions. I always do my best to accurately reproduce the designs portrayed in the jewelry for sale. Please note also that photography presents differently on varying devices.

♡ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡ 
Your stretch bracelet is handcrafted to be strong and lasting, but elastic, stones, beads and metal plating are not eternal. Natural wear and tear will also affect your jewelry. By following these simple tips, however, you can maintain your jewelry’s beauty for as long as possible:

> DO NOT GET YOUR BRACELET WET ~ Keep your jewelry away from moisture. It is best to remove your bracelet before washing your hands, showering, exercising and swimming since contact with moisture can break down the elastic, ruin finishes and tarnish metals and charms. 
> AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer or other chemicals can weaken the elastic, harm natural crystals and result in the discoloration and peeling of beads and gemstones. 
> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your bracelet in sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may lead to elastic erosion and can cause beads and metal to discolor. Remove your bracelet while exercising.
> ROLL IT ON AND OFF ~ Do not over-stretch your bracelet! It has been made with pre-stretched elastic. Over-stretching it beyond its capacity will cause it to break. To keep from overly stretching it to put it on and off, slide your fingers into the bracelet first, then gently roll the beads over your knuckles and then onto your wrist. Do the same when taking your bracelet off.
> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your jewelry safely in a soft pouch or secured in a box or drawer. Never wear your jewelry to bed and remove when sleeping.
