The metallic, golden shimmer of pyrite is what makes this simple stretch bracelet stand out. Thanks to the elastic cord it slips onto most wrists, and it looks good as an everyday piece.
The stone pyrite
Pyrite is an iron-sulphide mineral with its characteristic brass-yellow colour and metallic lustre – the reason it earned the nickname "fool's gold". In crystal lore it is regarded as a stone of grounding and self-confidence, and is traditionally linked to steady progress towards one's goals. In plain terms, it is a decorative, wearable piece of mineral that catches the light beautifully.
How to wear it
It can be worn on its own or layered with other bracelets, and makes a thoughtful small gift. The 9 cm circumference fits most adult wrists. As it is made from natural stone, the shade and surface of the beads vary slightly from one to the next.
Good to know
Keep it away from hard knocks and chemicals, and roll it onto the wrist rather than over-stretching the elastic. An occasional wipe with a soft cloth keeps its metallic glow for a long time.
