4. Maintenance and Care
Proper care will help maintain the appearance and longevity of your Bulova bracelet.
- Cleaning:
- For stainless steel components, wipe gently with a soft, damp cloth.
- For semi-precious beads (Tiger's Eye, Pyrite, Onyx), use a soft, dry cloth to remove dust and oils. Avoid abrasive materials.
- Do not use harsh chemicals, abrasive cleaners, or ultrasonic cleaners, as these can damage the stones, metal, or cord.
- Storage: Store the bracelet in its original protective pouch or a soft jewelry box to prevent scratches and tangling. Keep it away from direct sunlight and extreme temperatures.
- Avoid Exposure: Remove the bracelet before showering, swimming, exercising, or applying lotions, perfumes, and hairsprays.
5. Troubleshooting
If you encounter any issues with your bracelet, refer to the following common solutions:
- Clasp feels loose: Ensure the sliding mechanism is clean and free of debris. Gently pull the cords to tighten the fit. If the issue persists, the cord may be worn.
- Beads appear dull: Clean the beads as described in the Maintenance section. Natural oils and dust can accumulate over time.
- Cord fraying or damage: Discontinue use if the cord shows significant fraying or damage to prevent loss of the bracelet. Contact Bulova customer support or a professional jeweler for repair options.
