Keep your Tennis Bracelet sparkling and secure with these quick care tips—what to avoid, how to clean, and when to book a professional check.

Essentials

Put it on last, take it off first.
Keep away from chemicals (perfume, chlorine, cleaners) and impact (gym, sport).
Don’t shower or sleep in it.

Quick clean

We recommend visiting your nearest Secrets Shhh store for a professional clean. Our team will confirm if your specific settings are suitable for ultrasonic or if a gentler method is better.

Best practice quick reference

Wear & handling

Fit should allow one finger of ease; too loose = snags, too tight = stressed links.
Put on after perfume, sunscreen, hairspray; let products dry first.
Remove for the gym, gardening, contact sport, saunas, pools, and the beach.

After-care

Wipe with a soft, lint-free cloth after wear (removes sweat/oils).
Book a 6–12 month professional inspection (prongs, pins, clasp tension).

Storage

Lay flat in a soft, separate pouch/compartment; avoid coiling tightly.
Use anti-tarnish pouches for silver; add a silica gel pack in humid climates.
Keep away from bathrooms and direct sun.

Common pitfalls to avoid

Sleeping or showering in your bracelet.
Stacking next to rigid bangles/watches that abrade links and plating.
DIY chemical dips or abrasive pastes, especially around pavé settings.
Wearing if the clasp doesn’t click or if a stone feels loose—seek service first.
