SIZES
Selecting
a Size: Crystalline Curves come in 3 basic sizes - Small,
Medium & Large. The main difference between these
sizes is the length of the waist component. Generally, people find that they are
most comfortable with a waist chain that is at least 2 inches larger than their
waist measurement. The length of the waist chain
corresponds to the sizes as follows: Size Length
of Waist Piece:
Small 28 to 30"
/ Medium 31 to 33" / Large 34 to 37" Have your waist
measured before selecting a size. Also, consider how you intend to wear your body
jewelry. Will you be wearing it over clothing, or while exercising or dancing?
For example, if your waist is 26," you intend to wear your
jewelry against your skin (as pictured on our Home page), and you won't be performing
strenuous activity in it, then you would probably choose size Small. Many
Crystalline Curves can be adjusted by fastening the clasp in different places
along the waist chain. However, if the sizes listed above don't meet your needs
please contact us for Custom Designs. Guidelines
for Fitting Your Curves: Remember that the fit of
your jewelry is very important. For normal wear, any fit that is comfortable for
you is fine. However, if you intend to dance or exercise in your jewelry, you
must be certain that the fit allows for free movement. If your jewelry is too
tight, the stress placed on delicate parts may cause them to snap. Should this
happen, you may be able to make simple repairs, such as re-attaching a jump ring
using a pair of needle-nosed pliers. However, not all repairs are this easy, so
the best way to avoid damage to your jewelry is to be certain that the fit allows
for your style of movement. You are more likely to
get accurate measurements, and a good fit, if you: -
Have a friend measure you. It's difficult to take accurate measurements on yourself.
- At the time you have measurements taken, wear clothing
of the same type you expect to wear with your jewelry. Also,
remember that all jewelry is delicate. Be careful not to catch it on a person
or object, as it may be damaged. Crystalline Curves will not repair damage done
to your jewelry. back to top

Caring
For Your Jewelry: Jewelry can be worn over or under
clothing. If you intend to wear it against your bare skin you should be aware
that perspiration may cause some components to discolor. We strongly suggest that
you remove your jewelry immediately after wearing or performing any kind of vigorous
activity, wash it with either mild soap and water or a commercial jewelry cleaner,
and dry it thoroughly. Wearing Your
Jewelry: Crystalline Curves come in several configurations.
Each item has least two clasps. One clasp goes behind the neck to secure the necklace
portion, and one (or more) additional clasp(s) secures the portion around the
waist. Depending on the item you purchase, there may be: 1
clasp at the front of the waist OR 1 clasp in back
of the waist OR Multiple clasps either in the front
or back of the waist, allowing you to adjust the fit to your desire. back
