-What is the difference between the Original India and the Only bangle version?
The Original India version is made according to the original size and can be used both as a bangle or a bracelet (with an approximate diameter of 3.75 in ), while the Only bangle version is smaller and serves only as a bangle (with an approximate diameter of 2.75 in).
If you need different sizes, please contact us.
-Do all of them have precious metals with 99.9% purity?
Yes, we follow the tradition of creating them with the original formula and the appropriate golden proportions; but if you want a custom one, please contact us.
MANUFACTURING OF YOGA BANGLES
-Do you make the entire bangle?
Yes, we craft 100% of the bangles by hand, from melting the metal to creating the bangle itself.
This is implicit in this type of bangle to ensure compliance with the formula, also to ensure we use materials of the highest quality, to check all the finishes... It has to be done this way.
-Are all the yoga bangles the same?
No, because they are handmade, there will surely be differences in the size of the metals (not substantial) among bangles of the same category. Your bangle comes with a holographic certificate detailing all its fundamental characteristics.
-What happens if you run out of a metal and there isn't enough to make mine?
When we receive your order, we send you an email with the creation date in our workshop and the expected shipping date.
If for any reason (e.g., excess orders, lack of metals...) the manufacturing time increases, you would know through that email indicating when your bangle would be ready, and of course, if you're not satisfied, we would refund your money at that time (using the same payment method you used).
-Do you make custom yoga bangles?
Yes, contact us indicating the length in inches (or centimeters) (use a thread around your wrist to get the exact measurement) you want, send it to us, and if you agree with our quote, we'll create it for you.
USE OF THE BANGLE
-What are #yogabangles for?
#yogabangles are worn on the wrist, forearm, or just after the elbow; due to their weight and the contact of the metal with the skin, they give a sense of presence that extends the state of yoga.
These are high-jewelry pieces, made on demand, 100% handcrafted, with the golden formulation that has been kept secret through generations of rishis. They were prescribed by the kriya-yoga gurus Swami Sri Yukteswar and Yogananda at the beginning of the 20th century as protection against electromagnetic radiation, aid in spiritual progress (acting on chakras and granthis), meditation with an object, and as a way to burn karma.
There are also indications of their much older use in Mohenjo-Daro, around 2600-1800 BC, and by the Celts on the peninsula Iberica, between 1000-300 BC.
-Will it fit me well?
Yes, the size is large enough to be worn on the wrist, forearm, or just after the elbow for the India Original (diameter of approximately 3.75 in and 9.5 in lenght), and once you have it in place, you just need to adjust it.
The Only bangle version is slightly cheaper, to be worn on the wrist (with an approximate diameter of 3 in and 7.5 in lenght).
Here we have a guide and a demonstration video here.
-Can I get my yoga bangle wet?
Yes, you can get it wet, but try to dry it afterward. If it's in saltwater, make sure to wash it with soap and water afterward.
-Can the patina from the copper turn my arm green?
The copper in our bangles undergoes a professional treatment with micro-crystals that protects the copper; in any case, if there's excessive sweating, just washing with water and soap would be enough.
-How do I clean my yoga bangle?
Send it to us, and we'll make it look new, or you can clean it as follows.
Copper: Wet a cloth with a mixture of a pinch of salt and two tablespoons of white vinegar; rub the copper with the cloth and let it sit for thirty minutes, then rinse and dry with a cloth.
Silver: Make a paste with one teaspoon of baking soda and two tablespoons of water, add half a teaspoon of white vinegar. Apply this paste to the pure silver surface and then clean it with a damp cloth.
