Jewelry Care & Repair Services
As the owner of Sanctuary Vibrational Jewelry, I meticulously handcraft each and every piece in the shop. I use only high-grade natural stones that are not treated or heated in any way, 100% silk thread for optimal energy conduction throughout the piece, and solid 14k gold components and clasps.
Each piece is vibrationally tested for purity and specific vibrational qualities, and each stone is inspected to the highest standards as taught by the GIA (Gemological Institute of America) of which I am an alum.
To ensure the longevity and durability of your Sanctuary pieces, knowledge about the stones and how to clean and store your pieces is vital to their safety. Remember, these are your stone allies, your helpers and confidants and should be treated as such.
WEAR INSTRUCTIONS
BRACELETS
Gently take your bracelet out of the pouch and roll it onto your wrist. Gently roll it over your hand when taking it off. Be careful not to pull or twist your bracelet.
NECKLACES
Gently take your necklace out of the suede box by pulling on the top tab to access the entire necklace. Carefully pull open the slits on the top of release the necklace from the holder and either slip it over your head or gently open the clasp, wrap around your neck, and close the clasp.
CARE INSTRUCTIONS
BRACELETS & NECKLACES
Your jewelry is made of genuine, untreated natural crystals, stones and solid 14k gold. As such, you should avoid exposing your Sanctuary pieces to open flames, sulfur, chlorinated water, cosmetics, perfumes, oils, household cleaning products, or any corrosive materials. Even ordinary salt can be harmful to some softer stones.
Take your pieces off before showering, bathing, swimming, cooking, sleeping, or any rough activity. If it does get wet, simply dry with a soft cloth or paper towel to absorb any moisture and let it air dry for 30 minutes.
PHYSICAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
BRACELETS & NECKLACES
All Sanctuary pieces are made with genuine, untreated stones, some of which are soft and/or fragile like opal, lepidolite, ocean jasper, selenite, or others that may come on a matrix. Necklaces are made with organic material (silk) that can be damaged easily if not properly cared for.
I advise not washing your jewelry with soap and water unless you ask us and we tell you that it is okay for the specific piece(s) you have. Instead, please use a soft cleaning cloth like the one that came with your purchase, which is made of ultra-soft organic bamboo cotton.
To clean between stones on your necklace, carefully use a Q-Tip to remove any dirt or debris. Be careful not to stretch the space between the stones as this will stretch out the necklace.
For cleaning between stones on your stretch bracelet, it is okay to gently stretch the stones apart 1 or 2 millimeters to remove dirt or debris in between with a Q-Tip. Use the organic bamboo cleaning cloth that came with your purchase to gently rub the stones while being careful not to stretch the bracelet too much.
METAPHYSICAL CLEANING INSTRUCTIONS
BRACELETS & NECKLACES
Routine energy cleaning of your pieces is also necessary to ensure the longevity and durability of your Sanctuary jewelry. There is a lot of misinformation about how to clean, clear and charge stones and crystals. I am a vibrational scientist, PhD scholar of the Western Esoteric Tradition and consciousness, and a vibrational stone and energy medicine practitioner, and an authority in this field, which is meant to give you peace of mind knowing this information is not only accurate, it is also empirically tested.
To make things simple for my customers, the easiest way to clear and clean detrimental energies from your jewelry is to lay it on a polished slab of high-grade indigo gabbro (commercial name is Mystic Merlinite, but be careful not to get Merlinite, which is a dendritic agate, and Indigo Gabbro confused).
Indigo Gabbro is the only stone found so far that simultaneously absorbs and transmutes detrimental energy from the human biofield, environment, or object like stones and jewelry. This is a safe, inexpensive, and highly effective method for cleaning, clearing and charging your jewelry all at the same time.
In the near future, I will have polished indigo gabbro slabs for sale. Feel free to put in a custom order if you don't see any in the shop.
Feel free to use traditional methods like smoke from sage or palo santo, but be sure to wipe off any residue this may create. Keep the piece out of direct exposure to smoke and open flames when using this method.
To charge your jewelry we recommend using hematoid rose quartz, also known as iron rose quartz, or plain hematite. Selenite, which is common for charging stones, is a much softer stone, making it harder to remove detrimental energies that it absorbs.
Iron/hematoid rose quartz not only recharges your stone jewelry, it also is one of the few adaptogenic stones (like Indigo Gabbro and Ocean Jasper) that emits a strong Universal Centering Vibration (UVC) or just Centering Vibration for short.
Do not charge your jewelry in the sunlight or moonlight as some stones will be damaged by the sun's rays and at night moisture can accumulate on your jewelry, which is not ideal.
