MATERIALS

STERLING SILVER

Sterling Silver is often associated with characteristics of compassion and empathy. Silver has a bright and clear appearance and represents purity, clarity, and vision. It also symbolizes subtle strength. It is very versatile and strong, yet malleable. Silver can withstand the abuse, weathering, and even heat. One of the reasons we focus on sterling silver is because silver is the light that shines between the light and the dark, which allows the person wearing the precious metal to shine even in dark times. We only use 925 Sterling Silver on our bracelets and never use silver plated or any kind of fake silver like pewter. The symbol 925 is all about the purity of the silver. It means that for every 1000 parts of the material in the jewelry piece, 92.5% is silver, and 7.5% is a different metal. All our spacer beads and knot covers are made using 925 Sterling Silver beads.

AA-AAA MULTI-COLORED TAHITIAN
& CULTURED PEARLS

Tahitian pearls are an exotic and exquisite beauty from the ocean's depths that have captured the world by storm. They are new to modern jewelry, only finding their way into pop culture in the mid-1900s. They represent purity and wisdom. They form deep in the ocean, inside a shell representing the hidden knowledge within us. Once upon a time, Tahitian pearls were considered the rarest and most valuable cultured pearls in the world. They are still the pearls with the most intrigue and value, but due to mass production farms, they have become more affordable and, therefore, more available to the consumer. We use AA-AAA cultured Tahitian Pearls for two reasons: so, more people can afford them, and because these go around your wrist, they are likely to hit surface areas more frequently, which could cause some scratching. The AAAAs are usually reserved for earrings and necklaces because they are less likely to be damaged or scratched from hitting hard surfaces. We can accommodate any request to use AAAAs in a custom bracelet. For more information, see our section titled "Custom Bracelets.

Black Onyx, Black Jade & TOuRMALINE

Black onyx and black tourmaline have a calming quality, which can be beneficial in working with challenging emotions such as grief and anxiety. Black onyx also helps to balance yin and yang. It helps us to feel centered, make wise decisions, and get to the root cause of issues.

Black Jade is a guardian stone that protects against negative energies and intrusion by psychic entities. It will protect you from people who sap energy and projections of negative emotions such as fear, anger, or bitterness. It is also a calming gemstone. For this reason, we alternate using black onyx, jade, and tourmaline. If you prefer one gemstone over the other, specify which one you want, and we’ll be sure to use only that which you selected on your bracelet.

TRADITIONAL, BLUE & MULTICOLOR TIGERS EYE

Happiness and peace are said to follow the wearer of a tiger's eye gemstone. Apart from that, this gem is believed to keep your mind calm, enhance the wearer's creativity, and help them stay focused. Also known as the eye of the tiger, it helps the athlete stay hyper-focused on their goals. We use the traditional brown tiger's and harder-to-find colored tiger's eye gemstones. The colored tiger's eyes are unique because they contain some conventional brown colors and maroons, blue, and spectacular colors you usually won't find in any other gemstone.

BLUE & GRAY Opals

The ancient Greeks believed opals gave their owners the gift of prophecy and guarded them against disease. Europeans have long considered the gem a symbol of hope, purity, and truth. We use black and gray opals in our bracelets due to their rarity and difficulty finding them. You most likely won’t find very many bracelets that use these gemstones in their bracelets. Plus, we like the mixture of black with the hues of blue and gray appearing within the bead for a very high quality and unique look. Using a striking stone like this is another example of what makes our bracelet designs so different.

Hematite

Hematite stones are commonly used in bracelet jewelry because they benefit humans' physical and spiritual health. They have also been used to protect against evil spirits, bad luck, and other negative energies. You'll notice the style of Hematite gemstone we use has a gunmetal grey color to it. We chose that look because it represents the look and feel of actual metal, which signifies the immense strength the gemstone passes on to its wearer. Hematite is considered one of the stronger gemstones, which, just like metal, is hard to break and gives the wearer an unbreakable level of strength and fortitude.
