I LOVE THEM. I PERSONALLY GOT THEM B/C I THOUGHT THEY WOULD LOOK CUTE ON MY WRIST when i wear the complementing back. the sa didnt say anything specific about the care and there was no care card attached, but i assume b/c it's leather. you wouldnt do what you could normally do woth a diamond or gold bracelet. you can wash your hands, but i wouldnt risk washing dishes where your hands are submerged in water for a period of time. i also wouldnt take a shower in it as well. i treat it as i do my pandora-- i can wear it all day, sleep in it all night(although i dont often). i just put it on in the morning and take it off at night
