Product Insights
The Aase Wide Open Bangle by Pilgrim is a Danish-designed, RCS/GRS certified recycled acrylic bangle that reduces carbon by 90%, offered in bold 3.5 cm wide Off White or Brown at CAD 69 (sale 39.95), below comparable sustainable bangles. Its open flex allows solo or stacked wear, but the fixed 6.5 cm diameter requires flexing to put on and limits wrist sizes, while the open design risks catching or slipping. Water-resistant and lightweight, with scratches polishable, but prolonged water exposure is advised against, and cleaning requires mild soap and proper storage to maintain its marbled depth.

stylist.co.uk- Cleaning
Clean with a wet microfiber cloth and mild soap; avoid ammonia or alcohol.
Why this is supported
Acrylic surfaces must be cleaned wet to avoid scratches.
Never clean acrylic when it’s dry — always wet the surface first to lubricate any dust particles before wiping. Wiping dry particles across a dry surface is the fastest way to put fine scratches in it.
americanacrylics.comAlso, avoid paper towels;
Paper towels — surprisingly, paper towels are abrasive enough to leave fine scratches in acrylic. Always use soft microfiber.
americanacrylics.comDo not use ammonia-based glass cleaners, as
ammonia attacks acrylic and will cause it to cloud, craze, or crack over time.
americanacrylics.comSimilarly, avoid alcohol, which
will strip the paint from your piece
labpartnersjewelry.com.
- Storage
Store in a soft-lined pouch or airtight bag away from metal to prevent scratches and dust.
Why this is supported
To prevent scratches and dust buildup,
Always store them separately from metal jewelry to avoid damage.
aepril.comAcrylic builds up static electricity that attracts dust, so storing in an airtight bag or lined pouch minimizes dust accumulation and resulting fine scratches.
- Scratch repair
Buff out light scratches with plastic polish or non-whitening toothpaste.
Why this is supported
Light scratches on the acrylic bangle can be buffed out at home:
Light surface scratches can often be polished out with a plastic polishing compound.
americanacrylics.comNon-whitening toothpaste can also work for light scratches.
- Sizing
Fixed 6.5 cm diameter requires flexing to put on and limits wrist size compatibility.
Why this is supported
The product's dimensions are fixed: diameter 6.5 cm and width 3.5 cm. According to the brand's Q&A,
The diameter is fixed at 6.5 cm, but the open design allows you to gently flex it to slide over your wrist. It is not adjustable to fit different wrist sizes.
Is the open bangle adjustable to fit different wrist sizes, or is the diameter fixed at 6.5 cm?This means the bangle must be flexed each time and only fits wrists that accommodate that size.
- Security
Wide bangle aids stability but open design risks catching or slipping.
Why this is supported
The wide 3.5 cm design helps keep the bangle oriented, but as the brand explains in its Q&A,
Open bangles can vary in security. The wide 3.5 cm design may help it stay in place, but because it is open, there is a risk of catching on clothing or slipping off with movement.
How secure is the open bangle on the wrist? Does it stay in place during daily wear or might it catch on clothing and fall off?This indicates the bangle is less secure than a closed design during active use.
- Water resistance
Brand advises avoiding prolonged water exposure to maintain the bangle's appearance.
Why this is supported
While acrylic is generally water-resistant, the brand's care guidance states:
Acrylic is generally water-resistant, but we recommend avoiding prolonged exposure to water to maintain its appearance and prevent potential damage over time.
Can the bangle be worn in water, or should it be kept dry to avoid damage to the acrylic?However, some style publications describe the bangle as waterproof, creating a discrepancy. For example, Stylist UK writes:
They’re not just chic, they’re practical too. Resin is waterproof and lightweight, which means your bangles can go from city commute to seaside lounge without needing to be taken off.
stylist.co.ukBuyers should weigh the brand's advice against these media claims.
- Care
Avoid ammonia and dry wiping; light scratches can be polished out.
Why this is supported
To prevent scratches, always wet the surface when cleaning. One source advises:
Never clean acrylic when it’s dry — always wet the surface first to lubricate any dust particles before wiping.
americanacrylics.comAmmonia-based cleaners must be avoided:
