According to tradition, a gemstone bracelet works through the stone you wear close to your skin. Many people experience it as a personal symbol, or as a small reminder of a wish. This effect is not scientifically proven. What is certain: you wear a real piece of nature around your wrist, and for many women that already feels special.
What do people mean by the effect according to tradition?
For centuries, people have worn stones as amulets or lucky charms. In old stories, every stone stands for something different, such as courage, love or calm. These stories are passed on from generation to generation.
Today, many women look at it in a more down to earth way. Wearers say the bracelet mainly helps them pause for a moment and think about a goal, based on their own experience. The stone is then a reminder, just like a ring with a date engraved inside.

Tradition is not proof
Honesty matters here. There is no scientific research that shows a stone changes your body or your mood. So see the meaning as a beautiful story, and not as a treatment.
Not feeling well? Always see a doctor. A bracelet is a piece of jewellery and not a medicine.
Why on the wrist?
You see a bracelet all day long. You look at it when you type, cook or put on your coat. That is why many people choose the wrist as the place for their stone.
According to old stories, you ideally wear a stone close to the skin. For many wearers, that contact is part of the ritual, although this is not scientifically proven either.
Which meaning goes with which stone according to tradition?
Every stone has its own story. Below you can read about three stones that are popular in this collection right now. The meanings come from old stories and from what wearers say themselves.
Smoky quartz with a smoky colour
Smoky quartz is a brownish grey quartz. According to tradition, this stone stands for stability and inner clarity. Many women also simply choose it for the warm colour, which looks lovely with beige, brown and denim. You will find more designs among our smoky quartz jewellery.
Sodalite in deep blue with white lines
Sodalite is a blue natural stone with fine white veins. In old stories, the stone stands for clear communication and self expression. This too is a tradition and not a proven effect.
In everyday life, it is mainly the colour that stands out. The deep blue looks striking against a white blouse or a grey jumper. Also take a look at the other sodalite bracelets.

A mix of stones in one bracelet
Can't choose between several stones? A multi gem bracelet combines different types in one design. Wearers say they carry several meanings with them at once, based on their own feeling.
What do you know for sure about your bracelet?
The effect is a matter of feeling and belief. The quality of the piece is something you can simply check. So always take a quick look at the specifications on the product page.
What does the label say about the stone?
Each bracelet states which type of stone it contains: natural stone, Hydro Quartz or synthetic. That way you know exactly what you are buying. Smoky quartz and sodalite are both natural stones in these bracelets. Pink Opalite is synthetic, and Ruby Quartz is listed as Hydro Quartz.
Silver, finish and length
The Saturn bracelets have beads made of 925 sterling silver. That is 92.5 percent pure silver, with a small amount of other metal for extra strength. You choose between gold plated, with a layer of gold, or rhodium plated, with a bright white shine.
The bracelets measure 18 cm and are strung by hand on elastic. The Saturn Small has 4 mm beads, the Saturn Large 6 mm. An Interstellar bracelet has fine 3 mm beads, which makes it look very light.

Made with care
Craftspeople in Italy, Bangkok and Hong Kong make every piece by hand. The founder visits these workshops regularly and checks the materials and details herself. Since 2014, the brand has designed its jewellery in the Netherlands.
How do you choose a stone that suits you?
Start with your feeling. Which colour attracts you straight away? Many women experience that this first choice is often the best one.
You can also look at your birthstone by month. Or read more about what tiger's eye does according to tradition. Want to see all stones side by side? Then choose your gemstone bracelet from the complete collection.
One last tip: start with one bracelet and build up slowly. The Mix & Match concept is designed so that all colours and metals go together.
Frequently asked questions about the gemstone bracelet and tradition
I'm happy to answer a few frequently asked questions:
Is the effect of a gemstone proven?
No. The meaning comes from tradition and from the experiences of wearers. There is no scientific proof for it.
Does it matter whether the stone is natural?
For the tradition, many people consciously choose natural stone. On the product page you can see which type of stone each bracelet contains.
Does a stone lose its meaning over time?
According to tradition, it does not. Some wearers place their stone in the moonlight now and then. That too is a ritual and not a proven method.

The product page of the beaded bracelets states a 10 year warranty. Keep your proof of purchase safe and you are always covered.
