ORDERING DETAILS
———————————–
Order your beautiful Zen Garden bangles paired with base metal OR upgrade to fine metal. See below for the difference.
Please select your size and base or fine metal.
Please note: base metal is more vibrant than fine metal, tends to age more quickly and it can, with some people, discolor the skin temporarily. This is not harmful, most people can wear it without any noticeable difference and base metal offers a great cost savings to fine metal, but you should be aware of these possibilities and if it’s a concern please consider upgrading to fine metal.

The FINE METAL set will come with 3 Zen Garden Patina Bangles (1 Energy, 1 Power, 1 Harmony), 2 Yellow Gold Filled and 2 Recycled Sterling Silver Bangles.
The BASE METAL set will come with 3 Zen Garden Patina Bangles (1 Energy, 1 Power, 1 Harmony), 2 red brass and 2 German silver bangles.

TIPS FOR SIZING
——————————
With bangles the tricky part is actually not the wrist but the largest part of the hand that the bangle needs to pass over. A good way to figure out your size is to grab a flexible tape measure (most sewing kits have them) and squish your hand down (as if you’re preparing to pass a bangle over it) take the flexible tape and wrap it around that part, the biggest part, of your hand and measure it very tightly. Then compare that measurement to the sizing above and select the bangle that works best for you. For me I’d rather work a bit to get a bangle on than risk it falling off. For me my measurement doing the steps above is 7.75″ and I take a medium bangle but with some work I can squeeze my hand into a small. Keep that in mind when sizing yourself. Also, if you are buying for someone else and it’s a gift, the most common size is medium. If you’re unsure it’s always best to go bigger than smaller. If you miss-size your bangle, please take a read in our policy section on returning a personalized product for a different size. It’s much easier for us to size your bangle down than up. There is a cost associated with returning your piece to be resized so best bet is to measure and know for sure the size needed. Also, we cannot be held responsible for miss-sized bangles. We do provide these steps above but they are merely tips for sizing. The final size will have to come down to you.
PATINA & SEALANT
———————————–
The patina rings get TWO coats of the most durable sealant on the market which is basically like an enamel that should help to seal in the patina. With that said, oils/lotions/perfumes/excessive wear and tear might compromise the sealant. So if they do change, enjoy that process as well. Under the patina, the bangles are solid, hammered red brass so they will still be beautiful and gold dusty if they do change but our hope is that the patina will hold for some time. Please know that the greatest care goes into these creations and we do everything in our power to produce highest quality products. ALSO — patina can be a tricky process and the end result is very much dependent on weather conditions, times of day, humidity, etc etc etc … so your rings may not look identical to what you see here but they will be beautiful!!
This, as with all of our completely hand-forged and crafted pieces, comes thoughtfully and beautifully packaged, with handmade recycled paper envelope cards that hold descriptive text and hand-written notes of inspiration from Amy. Depending on your piece, we delicately package it in organza and muslin bags, use upcycled Tibetan Prayer Flags and earthy cellulose wadding. Most pieces come with care instructions and every piece is given considerable and loving care to not only produce the highest quality product, but package it up ready for gift giving.
