Natural stone beads, gold-plated steel and no clasp anywhere: that is the short version of this shelf. Amethyst, rose quartz, tiger's eye, labradorite, amazonite, malachite, agate and jasper turn up as round beads threaded on elastic and finished with a small charm shaped like a clover, a star, a Buddha, a medallion or a padlock. The same minerals return as square-cut stones set on rigid gold-plated bangles, sold seven to a set so they stack. Bead diameter, wrist circumference and the finish of the mount are listed item by item, because they change from one model to the next.

Our beaded strands and bangle sets

The stones you will find on our crystal healing bracelets

Colour here comes from the mineral, not from a coating. Amethyst brings the purples, rose quartz a powdery pink, amazonite and malachite two greens that share almost nothing, and tiger's eye its banded browns. Labradorite is the odd one out, grey until the light hits it at the right angle. Every bead is cut from a different part of the rough, so no two strands match exactly, even within one model.

The table below gathers what is actually visible on the bead, colour and pattern, so you can narrow the range down before opening a product page.

The names of these minerals come from a long-standing cultural practice. On our product pages they do one job: they tell you which material and which colour you are looking at. Necklaces and hoops built on the same beads sit alongside the bracelets in the wider natural stone range.

Sets of seven bangles, or a single elastic strand

Two builds share the shelf. The bangle version is rigid gold-plated stainless steel and arrives as a set of seven rings, each carrying a round bead or a square-cut stone; it holds its diameter and slides under a sleeve. The beaded version threads mineral beads onto elastic and finishes with a small gold-plated charm, a clover, a star, a Buddha, a medallion or a padlock. Neither build uses a clasp, which takes most of the guesswork out of sizing.

Stacking is the whole point of a seven-bangle set: worn together the rings read as one wide band, and nothing stops you splitting them across both wrists. Banded minerals gain from that repetition, which is why the agate pieces rarely look the same twice in a stack.

Bead diameter changes the whole look

Bead size appears on every product page and it shapes the result more than the stone does. A 4 mm strand stays quiet under a shirt cuff, while wider beads carry on their own and need no neighbour. If the bracelet is meant for the office, read the diameter first. The effect shows up most on stones that need room to work: labradorite beads want a fair amount of surface before they flash at all.

Wrist measurement, and keeping the thread intact

Take a tape measure round the wrist without pulling it tight, then compare that figure with the circumference given on the product page. On elastic strands, leave a little slack: a bracelet worn too tight tires the thread and marks the skin. And roll it on, never stretch it: pulling is what wears elastic out.

Take the bracelet off before a shower or a swim, since hot water and soap slacken the thread. Store bangle sets flat and keep them away from harder beads, which scratch the softer minerals. A soft dry cloth is enough for everyday marks.
