Important – Natural Colour Change

• Please Read Before Use: When you receive this red sandalwood bracelet, it will appear bright and shiny due to a mild natural protective coating applied to preserve the colour during storage and shipping.
• With regular use, the bracelet will gradually darken to a deeper, richer red-brown tone. This is completely natural and is actually a sign of genuine Red Sandalwood (Rakta Chandan).
• This darkening is NOT a defect, NOT fake material, and NOT a quality issue. It is the natural character of original Sengali wood — just like how real sandalwood items naturally age and deepen in colour with use.

• Avoid water and moisture — remove before bathing
• Keep away from perfume and chemical contact
• Wipe gently with a soft dry cloth
• Store in a dry pouch when not in use
