I get mine wet all the time and it's normally fine but over time it could make some of the colors more dull, I also heard from somewhere it can shrink the bracelet a little bit but that hasn't happened to me

@kcjewelrysIf you are using embroidery floss you should be okay getting them wet. With my experience, getting them wet does tend to make your lighter colors become a little bit darker. I don’t really mind though, because all bracelets will darken over time from usage. Hope this helped! |

They colors will fade and it'll also stretch but that's it. If you where it in a chlorinated pool though, it'll start to wear down the threads so they'll break sooner

If they're made of cotton, polyester or acrylic material, they'll just wear out the same way clothing made of similar material do when exposed to water (chlorinated or otherwise). Bracelets made of material like waxed cords would be a little more water repellent, but the waxed surface can and does get worn away over time (like most things do). It's all part of natural wear and tear. 🙂

I'd personally recommend washing the bracelets you do wear every now and then though; helps keep them hygienic (and some colours seem to become vibrant again after some good hand-washing with a gentle soap). If you're worried about bracelets getting out of shape after washing, you can always hang them up with something to weight them down (to avoid curling) or pin them down somewhere in a way similar to how one does wet blocking for knitted/crocheted projects as they dry out.
