A multi gem bracelet is a bracelet with several types of gemstones in one design. Instead of one stone, you see a mix of colours and shades around your wrist. That way you get a colourful look in a single bracelet, and you don't have to choose between your favourite stones.
What exactly does multi gem mean?
Multi gem simply means several gemstones. The term says something about the mix, not about one specific type of stone. Every multi gem bracelet has its own colour story.
For the Interstellar Bracelet Multi Gem, this mix is called Spice. It is a balanced combination of natural stones in warm, brown shades. Think of the colours of cinnamon, caramel and autumn leaves.

How is an Interstellar bracelet made up?
An Interstellar bracelet has fine 3 mm beads. That is smaller than an average pea. This makes the bracelet look airy and light, even though it contains many stones.
You choose the finish yourself. Gold plated gives a warm, golden shine. Rhodium plated looks bright and cool, just like white gold. The bracelets measure 18 cm and stretch on elastic.
Why do women choose a mix of stones?
The first reason is simple: colour. You choose a single colour bracelet for a specific outfit, while a mix adapts more easily. A warm mix looks lovely with beige, brown, green and denim.
The second reason is personal. Many wearers say that with several stones they also carry several meanings with them. These meanings come from tradition and are not scientifically proven. Want to know more? Then read how a gemstone bracelet works according to tradition.
One bracelet or a stack?
A multi gem bracelet is strong on its own. You can also combine it with bracelets in one single stone. In that case, choose a stone that repeats one of the colours from the mix, so the whole look stays calm.

Multi gem or one stone: which suits you?
Do you like a calm look? Then one stone often suits you better. A single colour bracelet in pink or red stands out, but stays simple. The Saturn Small Pink Opalite, for example, has 4 mm beads in one soft pink shade.
Do check the label of the stone. Pink Opalite is listed as synthetic on the product page, which means it is made by people. If you only want natural stone, choose a different colour.
When do you choose a mix?
A mix is ideal if you wear a lot of colour, or a lot of black and white. In both cases, the bracelet adds something extra. Not sure which shape and thickness suits your wrist? This article about which bracelet suits you gives a clear answer.
Rock crystal, by the way, is a lovely neutral stone next to a mix. Read more about it in what rock crystal is.

How is such a colour mix created?
A good colour mix is no coincidence. During the design process, trends, colours, gemstones and wearability are all weighed up. Every design must not only be beautiful, but also fit within the Mix & Match concept.
The brand started in 2014 as a small idea in the Netherlands. The idea behind Mix & Match is that all your bracelets, necklaces and earrings can be combined. View the Mix & Match bracelets to see what that looks like in practice.
Handmade in three workshops
Craftspeople in Italy, Bangkok and Hong Kong string the beads by hand. Because natural stone is never completely identical, every bracelet differs slightly. That is exactly what makes your piece unique.
You don't only find these bracelets online. More than 500 jewellers in Europe sell the collection. So you can also see the colours in real life.
How do you wear a multi gem bracelet best?
Preferably wear a multi gem bracelet on the wrist where you don't wear a watch. That way the colour mix gets all the space. On the other wrist, a simple silver or gold bracelet looks great.
With a necklace or earrings, repeating a colour is lovely too. A warm stone in your ear then completes the look.
Where do you find a multi gem bracelet?
All multi gem bracelets are in the gemstone bracelets for women collection. There you will also find all single stones, so you can easily build a stack. Do you like beads in even more variations? Then take a look at the beaded bracelets.
Frequently asked questions about a multi gem bracelet
I'm happy to answer a few frequently asked questions:
Are all the stones in a multi gem bracelet real?
For the Interstellar Bracelet Multi Gem, the product page lists natural stone as the type. For other designs, always check the label.
Is every multi gem bracelet the same?
No. Natural stone varies from piece to piece in colour and pattern. That is why every bracelet is slightly different.
How long is the warranty on a multi gem bracelet?
The product page mentions a 10 year warranty on the beaded bracelets. Keep your proof of purchase, so you can always rely on it.
Does a multi gem bracelet go with gold and silver at the same time?
Yes. Many women mix gold plated and rhodium plated bracelets. The colour mix then forms the bridge between the two metals, because the stones draw the attention.
