Care Guide

Repairing the Cabochon:

If the sandstone glass cabochon falls off, you can reattach it using a strong jewelry adhesive. Here are some recommended glues:

  3. Devcon 5 Minute Epoxy Glue: This glue sets quickly and creates a durable bond.

Steps to Reattach the Cabochon:

  1. Clean the area where the cabochon was attached using a soft cloth and mild soap.
  2. Apply a small amount of adhesive to the base of the cabochon.
  3. Carefully place the cabochon back onto the base and hold it in place for a few minutes until the glue sets.
  4. Allow the adhesive to cure for at least 24 hours before wearing the bracelet.
