The Palo Santo bracelet made with tube-shaped beads has cleaner lines and is slightly more restrained than the oval or donut versions. The small cylindrical beads, measuring about 6×8 mm, sit closely together so the bracelet shows an even pattern while keeping its handmade character. The inner diameter is approximately 8 cm.
The unique character of the tube shape
Tube-shaped beads are slightly elongated, so the bracelet follows the wrist line more gently than rounder forms. You can wear it on weekdays or as an accessory with an outfit: not flashy, yet noticeable, with the aroma perceptible up close. The elastic cord is strong but stretches gently, so it slips easily onto your wrist.
The maturing years in the Andean forest
Palo Santo wood is not ready for processing right away. Only pieces that fell from the tree of their own accord and rested on the forest floor for three to four years yield the finest deep citrus-honey aroma. Your beads were also made from such matured wood, in line with a centuries-old Peruvian tradition.
SERFOR certification for responsible origin
The Peruvian Ministry of Agriculture's SERFOR office designates strictly controlled forests where Palo Santo gathering is permitted. Only naturally fallen branches and trunks are processed — no living tree is cut for this product. This gives you assurance that the bracelet does not come from an environmentally harmful chain.
How it fits into your daily life
The bracelet weighs only 5 grams, so wearing it remains unobtrusive. Many wearers like to lift it briefly to the nose during a long meeting or on a bus ride, breathing in the gentle aroma for a few seconds. For you it may become a simple everyday companion — not festive jewellery, but a calming presence.
Storage and durability
Keep it in a dry place, ideally in a cotton pouch or small wooden box. Avoid water, perfume and perspiration: these can fade the aroma over time. The elastic cord is built for many years of wear, but avoiding strong stretching will extend its life. If the aroma fades, a gentle palm rub will revive it.
