Baci means "Kisses" in Italian The Baci Beads are rhodium plated over brass. Brass is harder than pewter, so it holds the stones in better, doesn't chip and has better detail on the beads. Rhodium plating should not tarnish and is Hypo-allergenic. Baci beads are plated. They are not sterling silver. Baci Beads fit Pandora, Troll and Chamilla bracelets. In other words, the beads are threaded. Bracelets come in several different sizes with the most popular being 7.5". Purchase your bracelet at least 1/2" larger than you normally wear to allow for the beads. If using the new watch face, allow 1 1/2". Bracelets and necklaces are either "slip-on" or "screw-on". The bracelets and necklaces come with either a lobster claw or toggle style closure. The average bracelet holds about 12-15 beads depending on bracelet size and bead size. Each bracelet that accommodates "slip-on" style of beads comes with 2 stopper beads. The stopper bead is lined with rubber to stop the beads from sliding on the bracelet. The "screw-on" style does not need stopper beads. Bead colors & types are silver, silver & gold, gold, glass, enamel and dangles. Alphabet, zodiac and different birthstones are also available. There is no right or wrong way to put your Baci bracelet together. To give it a designer look, start with something special in the middle and then work away from the middle in a mirror fashion, so that both sides are the same working towards the central piece. Want a new bracelet? Change the glass beads to a different color! At these prices you can afford to do that! Use mild cleansers-eye glass cleaner or Windex-never soak in jewelry cleaners. Harsh detergents, oils, and sunscreens are all bad for the finish of the beads.
