Question 1

Warum hat handgefertigter Schmuck von Macra Bella Vida einen höheren Preis, und warum lohnt es sich?

Accepted Answer

💛 Warum Handarbeit kostet – und sich lohnt

Unsere Preise spiegeln den Wert echter Handarbeit, fairer Materialien und persönlicher Betreuung wider.
Wir fertigen jedes Stück individuell auf Bestellung – das braucht Zeit, Geduld und ganz viel Herz. Jedes Schmuckstück bei Macra Bella Vida wird mit viel Liebe und in sorgfältiger Handarbeit gefertigt. Kein Massenprodukt, kein Fließband.
Stattdessen: echte Zeit, Hingabe und Herzblut – Knoten für Knoten, ganz individuell für dich.
Wir verwenden ausschließlich hochwertige Materialien wie das vegane, wasserfeste Linhasita-Garn, Baumwollgarn aus 100% Recycling-Baumwolle, echte Halbedelsteine und nickelfreies Messing aus kleinen Manufakturen.
 All das sorgt nicht nur für Schönheit, sondern auch für Langlebigkeit und Tragekomfort.

🌈 Warum die Preise in der Kinderkollektion etwas günstiger sind, aber trotzdem wertgeschätzt werden sollen:

Die Kinderkollektion von Macra Bella Vida stammt von unserer kleinsten Künstlerin – mit ganz viel Herz, Kreativität und Begeisterung geknüpft.
Damit auch andere Kinder (und Erwachsene!) Freude an ihren Werken haben können, bieten wir ihre Armbänder, Schlüsselanhänger und kleinen Schätze zu einem reduzierten Preis an. 💛
Bitte beachte: Auch wenn der Preis kleiner ist – die Liebe, die in jedem Knoten steckt, ist riesengroß.
 Mit jedem Kauf unterstützt du nicht nur ihr kreatives Talent, sondern auch ihre Freude daran, etwas Eigenes zu erschaffen. ✨
Danke, dass du junge Träume wahr werden lässt!

Question 2

What material do you use?

Accepted Answer

For my jewelry, I use the popular, exclusively high-quality Brazilian wax yarn "Linhasita." The 1 mm thick macrame yarn is coated with vegan polyester wax.

Waxed thread has the advantage of retaining its length and shape and remaining water-resistant even with continuous wear for years. It's robust, tear-resistant, and waterproof. This durability makes my jewelry a sustainable product.

You can wear the jewelry 24/7 without any problems, without it losing its color or shape! The sliding clasp makes it easy to change the jewelry and adjust it to your size.

The pendants and beads I use are made of pure brass. I source them directly from India, from a small brass factory that makes everything by hand. Contact with water is also no problem for the brass ornaments and beads!

This has the advantage that they don't rust. Furthermore, brass is nickel-free.

I get the rest of my material from a company in France and Germany.

Question 3

How can I clean the pearls and pendants?

Accepted Answer

You can wear my jewelry 24/7 without any problems and it won't lose its color or shape! The sliding clasp makes it easy to change the jewelry and adjust it to your size.

Any piece of jewelry should be avoided from contact with body lotions, shower gels, perfumes, hairspray, hair dye, or similar care products, as these ingredients can discolor the materials. Contact with salt and chlorinated water should also be avoided. Jewelry should also be stored in a dry place.
The wafer-thin layer of wax dissolves after the first few hours of wear and is no longer noticeable.

Brass darkens over time. I personally love this worn look. I have a few options for you to make your jewelry shine again.
However, glass beads can permanently lose their color due to these products.

Variant 1:

You need:
 • a lemon
 • lemon squeezer
 • Knife
 • small bowl
 • running water
 • a cloth for drying

Here’s how to proceed:
Halve the lemon, squeeze the juice with the lemon squeezer, and pour it into the small bowl. Place your jewelry in the lemon juice.

Only leave jewelry with healing stone beads and/or yarn in the lemon juice for a short time. Pure brass jewelry without any other materials can be left in the juice for longer, depending on how dull your jewelry already is. Work with your jewelry and the lemon juice a little, rubbing the beads and pendants between your fingers. Check occasionally to see if it's enough or if the jewelry can stay in for a while longer.

Important: Rinse off the lemon juice thoroughly under running water, especially on jewelry with healing stones and yarn, so that no lemon juice remains in the yarn or between the beads. Check that you've rinsed everything thoroughly.

Then dry thoroughly. Brass doesn't like prolonged exposure to moisture.

Variant No. 2

You need:
 • toothbrush
 • toothpaste
Here’s how to proceed:
Lather some toothpaste between your fingers (important to prevent any toothpaste residue from remaining in the thread). Now pick up the toothpaste with your toothbrush and gently brush the brass. An old toothbrush works great for this. Then rinse thoroughly under running water.

Variant No. 3

Off to the beach! Simply polish the beads and pendants with your sandy fingers.

Et voilà, your piece of jewelry shines again.
