An elastic, stretchy bracelet of 8 mm gemstone beads combining three deep, earthy stones – hematite, obsidian and tiger eye. The elastic cord means it simply slips on without a clasp and fits most wrists. Understated, it looks good as both a masculine and a feminine piece.
The three stones
Hematite is a metallic, grey-black iron-oxide mineral; tradition knows it as a stone of grounding and protection, regarded as a stone of trust and stability. Obsidian is a volcanic glass formed from quickly cooled lava; many traditions know it as a stone of protection and clear sight. Tiger eye is a golden-brown quartz with a silky sheen, known in tradition as a stone of courage and grounding.
How to wear it
The deep, earthy stones make an understated yet characterful piece that suits both everyday wear and occasions. Worn on its own it is clean and simple, while layered with thinner bracelets or a watch it gives a modern, natural look. It is a popular choice regardless of gender.
Size and make
The bracelet is about 9 cm across, made of 8 mm beads threaded on an elastic cord. As it is made of natural stones, colour, shape and size vary slightly from piece to piece and may differ from the picture.
Care
Protect it from knocks, chemicals and perfume. When putting it on, hold the middle of the beads and do not overstretch the cord; a soft, dry cloth is enough to clean it.
