This bracelet is made of pure copper, with small magnets at each end. Its surface is decorated with the row of the seven chakra symbols. The warm, reddish-gold copper gives the impression of a living material: its shade shifts gently as you wear it, and it gathers a unique patina over time.
The chakra symbols
In the yogic tradition the chakras mark the body's seven main energy centres, from the root to the crown. The row of symbols evokes the idea of inner balance and harmony, and is a favourite for lovers of yoga and meditation.
Copper and magnets in tradition
Across many cultures copper and magnets have long been linked to wellbeing and inner balance. Tradition associates copper with Venus, the planet of soft, receptive energy. These are traditional ideas rather than medical claims. The magnetic flux density near the surface is around 1098 Gauss, and the inner size of the bracelet is roughly 7 cm. The open, C-shaped form slips on easily.
Care
Copper may develop a patina over time; wiped with a soft cloth, perhaps a mild copper polish, it regains its shine. Keep it dry.
