Four kinds of stone meet on the wrist – golden-brown tiger eye, deep-blue lapis lazuli, matte black lava rock and turquoise-toned magnesite – in a lively yet earthy medley. The elastic cord goes on easily, with no clasp.
The stones
Tiger eye is a golden-brown, silky quartz that tradition knows as a stone of grounding and inner strength. Lapis lazuli is a deep-blue rock with golden pyrite specks, the traditional stone of wisdom. Lava rock is porous, solidified volcanic stone that tradition regards as a stone of grounding and transformation; its pores can also absorb essential oil. The magnesite beads are dyed turquoise-blue to evoke the popular, affordable look of turquoise – the colour is added afterwards.

A lively yet wearable piece whose contrast of warm and cool tones suits almost any style. Characterful on its own, rich when layered with other stones.
Good to know: a natural stone, so each bead's shade is unique; the turquoise blue is dyed magnesite.
