Ninefold Fortune Hand-Carved Dragon & Wealth Guardian Bracelet

How to Prevent Cracking

Cracking is a natural concern with olive pit carvings. Because the material is sensitive to changes in temperature and humidity, sudden changes in the environment can cause the surface to dry out and crack.

To help keep your bracelet in good condition:

1. Avoid Direct Sunlight

Prolonged exposure to direct sunlight or intense heat from lamps can dry out the material and increase the risk of cracking.

2. Keep It Away From Water

If your bracelet gets wet, place it in a sealed plastic bag and leave the opening slightly loose so moisture can evaporate gradually.

Do not use a hair dryer or other source of heat to dry it quickly.

3. Avoid Strong Airflow

Constant exposure to fans, strong drafts, or outdoor wind can cause the material to dry out too quickly. Store your bracelet in a stable indoor environment whenever possible.

4. Keep It Away From Heaters

Do not place your bracelet near radiators, fireplaces, heaters, or other sources of dry heat. Extremely dry conditions can cause cracking.

A humidifier can help maintain a more stable indoor humidity level during dry seasons.

5. Keep It Away From Air Conditioning

Avoid leaving the bracelet directly in the path of an air conditioner or other strong airflow. During winter, avoid storing it in a warm clothing pocket for extended periods, as body heat and dry air can create conditions that increase the risk of cracking.

Olive Pit Bracelet Care

Regular care helps nourish the natural material and gradually develop a beautiful, natural patina over time.

During the First Month

Apply 1–2 drops of olive oil to a soft brush, gently brush the bracelet, and then rub the beads evenly between clean hands.

For the first month, apply a small amount of oil once or twice a week.

Once a light patina begins to develop, gradually reduce the frequency of oiling.

During the first month, we recommend keeping the bracelet in a stable indoor environment and spending time wearing it around the house rather than exposing it to outdoor conditions.

Once the patina has developed and the material has become more conditioned, you can begin wearing it outdoors more regularly.
