Rubber bracelet

Jewelry is an integral part of the image. That is why the choice of products is huge - they are made in different forms and from different materials. For example, a rubber bracelet is a novelty in the field of fashion.. It is suitable for both girls and men, and thanks to the properties of the material it lasts a very long time.

Rubber is a natural material that is made from plants. Milky nectar is squeezed out of tropical trees - latex is formed, and only then rubber. Interestingly, the liquid extracted from trees is not their juice. Its role in nature is yet to be elucidated by scientists. But the fact that other rubber is obtained from the resulting composition has long been known: erasers, clothes, carpets, roller tires are made from the same natural material, the difference is only in processing technology.

Rubber is used in the jewelry industry, because the material combines the properties of moderate hardness and elasticity - just what you need for a strict and elegant style. Fashion designers play with textures: the rubber base is framed with gold and silver, precious inserts and steel, while getting beautiful jewelry on hand.

The benefits of rubber include:

• low cost - due to the quick method of obtaining and natural origin, the price is more than acceptable, and the quality is at a high level;
• safety – environmentally friendly material does not cause allergies and irritation. It is easy to forget about a rubber bracelet, it is not felt on the hand and is pleasant to the skin;
• lack of static - the properties of rubber suppress the electrical effect;
• universal use - you can wear bracelets in any image and style: classic, sports, casual and even ethnic;
• beneficial combinations - the material perfectly sets off expensive metals and precious stones.

There are also disadvantages:

• The rubber stretches a little with constant wear. The material heats up, which causes expansion. In this case, it can be vulcanized, but this will require special equipment;
• It has an unpleasant odor that is difficult to get rid of. On the one hand, it indicates a natural origin, but on the other hand, it is harsh and can cause discomfort. You can get rid of the smell with hydrogen peroxide;
• rubber scratches easily does not tolerate sharp and sharp touches;
• afraid of sea and plain water. In contact with the liquid, the rubber loses its shape, structural damage and small delaminations appear on the surface. To prevent this from happening, it is recommended to remove the bracelet before swimming.

The most popular recommendations for a strong smell of rubber:

• wipe the surface of the bracelet with soapy water;
• rinse with alcohol tincture;
• dip in hydrogen peroxide;
• use cologne.

If these tips do not help, then you can use the following method:

• Apply hydrogen peroxide to a cotton pad and carefully wipe the back of the strap. But before that, it is necessary to check the effect of the liquid on the rubber. When it is deformed, the method is not suitable;
• after impregnation, leave the strap to dry (about 6-7 hours) at room temperature;
• apply an antiperspirant spray to the entire inner surface of the bracelet, rub it in thoroughly, and remove the excess with a napkin.

When choosing a bracelet, you need to pay attention to the following criteria:

• the size. Slim, elegant or wide and with metal inserts - the choice depends on individual preferences. However, it is necessary to try on the bracelet in the store - it should be easily fixed on the arm, smoothly wrap around the wrist. The rubber stretches a little with prolonged wear, which is why it should fit snugly against the skin;
• the form - rounded, straight, slightly elongated. Depending on the additional materials, the bracelet is hard (pre-treated in sulfur) or soft, therefore, will be pleasant to the skin;
• style – different classic or modern. The first is suitable for a strict look, excludes bright inserts and shining details, and the second is less restrained, has metal and steel additions, combined with jeans and a simple shirt;
• quality. The density of the bracelet should be medium. You can check this by lightly pressing on the product - high-quality material will return to its previous shape, there will be no traces on the surface;
• smell proves its natural origin.If it is absent, then the manufacturer used synthetic solvents (which affects the quality for the worse) or replaced the material with an artificial analogue.
