The Importance of Sweetie Bracelet, Sweetie Rings & Effervescence Bracelet Maintenance

The Links of London Sweetie Bracelet, Sweetie Rings, and Effervescence Bracelets are among the most iconic jewellery pieces in British fashion history.

Whether you prefer a DIY restringing solution or are looking for professional repair services, this guide covers everything you need to know to keep your jewellery in perfect condition.

Watch the video below for a step-by-step guide on how to restring your Links of London Sweetie Bracelet at home.

Why Do Sweetie Bracelets, Sweetie Rings & Effervescence Bracelets Need Restringing?

The stretchy elastic in these pieces naturally wears down due to:

  • Frequent wear – stretching and movement cause the elastic to weaken.
  • Exposure to moisture – water, lotions, and perfumes degrade the elasticity.
  • General aging – even if rarely worn, the elastic will lose its strength over time.

By restringing your bracelet, ring, or Effervescence bracelet, you ensure it remains secure, comfortable, and looking as good as new.
