Elastomer: Why Ele Pele Bracelets Are Strung Specifically on This Material
It might not be visible at first glance. Yet, it is one of the most important parts of every bracelet. The material it is strung on.
In Ele Pele bracelets, elastomer plays a vital role – a flexible, strong, and discreet material that ensures comfort, functionality, and the long life of the jewelry.
Why did we choose elastomer for our handmade beaded bracelets? And what does it mean for you during everyday wear?
What is elastomer and why is it used for bracelets
Elastomer is a high-quality flexible material used primarily for women's bracelets without closures. Unlike ordinary elastic strings, elastomer is:
-
more durable
-
stronger
-
better at holding its shape
-
less prone to overstretching
Thanks to its elasticity, it allows for easy sliding of the bracelet over the hand without the need for a clasp. This is one of the reasons why minimalist beaded bracelets on elastomer are so popular for daily wear.
Comfort you will fall in love with on day one
One of the main reasons we use elastomer at Ele Pele is comfort. A bracelet strung on elastomer:
-
does not pinch
-
does not cut into the skin
-
does not get in the way during movement
-
adapts to the wrist
It is exactly the type of minimalist jewelry that you put on in the morning and realize by evening that you haven't noticed it all day. And for us, that is the mark of a well-designed piece of jewelry.
No clasp = fewer worries
Closures can be beautiful, but also impractical. Especially with everyday jewelry. Bracelets on elastomer:
-
can be easily put on with one hand
-
eliminate the need to fiddle with a lobster claw clasp
-
are ideal for quick dressing
Every woman who wants Czech jewelry that fits into real life – not just a jewelry box – will appreciate this.
How long does elastomer last?
A correctly chosen elastomer has a long lifespan if the bracelet is handled reasonably. At Ele Pele, we use high-quality elastomer designed specifically for handmade bracelets. To make your bracelet last as long as possible:
-
take it off before showering or bathing
-
avoid excessive stretching
-
do not leave it in direct sunlight for long periods
-
when taking it off, always roll it over your hand, do not pull on individual beads
Such care will extend the life of not only the elastomer but the entire piece of jewelry.
Elastomer and bracelet size
Thanks to the flexibility of the elastomer, the bracelet:
-
adapts better to the wrist
-
is comfortable to wear throughout the day
-
does not throttle or fall off
Nevertheless, it is important to choose the right size. Elastomer is not a substitute for an incorrectly chosen circumference, but a support for comfort. That is why at Ele Pele, we offer various sizes as well as the option for custom adjustments.
Why elastomer is part of the slow fashion philosophy
It might sound surprising, but even the choice of material we string the bracelet on is related to slow fashion. Elastomer:
-
extends the lifespan of the jewelry
-
reduces the need for repairs
-
allows for stress-free daily wear
And that exactly fits our philosophy: to create minimalist jewelry that you will actually wear. Not just once in a while, but every single day.
Who are elastomer bracelets ideal for?
-
for women who want comfort
-
for everyday wear
-
for layering multiple bracelets
-
as jewelry for a gift (no need to worry about the clasp)
-
for lovers of beaded bracelets
They are women's bracelets that adapt to you – not the other way around.
A small detail, a big difference
Elastomer might not be the first thing you notice about a bracelet. But it is exactly the detail that decides whether a piece of jewelry becomes a daily joy or just a pretty accessory for occasional wear. At Ele Pele, we believe that beauty lies in the details – even those that aren't seen.
