Amethyst
Amethyst is one of the birthstones for February and the zodiac signs of Aquarius and Pisces. Amethyst is a "Stone of Wisdom." It has been said that it promotes higher levels of consciousness through dreams, intuition, and wisdom helping with self knowledge, peace and spiritual insight. It is associated with both Air and Water elements. Amethyst has long been thought to be a stone that helps with addictions and sobriety. Evidence of this belief goes back to the Ancient Greeks. It is a powerful and protctive stone that is believed to absorb negative energy, relieve stress and anxiety and bring about balance. Varieties include Cape Amethyst (also sometimes called Dog Tooth Amethyst or even Chevron Amethyst), Dark Amethyst, Green Amethyst, Lace Amethyst, Lavender Amethyst
Choose from an extensive range of 4mm (approx) faceted stones combined with a single sterling silver bead.
Strung on strong elastic thread that will last, these bracelets are made to your size requirement and can be worn as a single or combined with other bracelets to form a collection.
Currently I have approximately 65 different stones to choose from (this list changes daily) but I will add to this range frequently so keep checking and collect them all. If you still can't find what you're looking for - please ask as I may be able to help.
Prices range from $30 and will depend on the value of the stone used in the thread.
Please Note:
All bracelets were photographed outdoors in natural lighting in order to capture the colours as accurately as possible. However, as the sun moved throughout the morning the lighting will change slightly. Screens may display colours differently also.
These bracelets are hand-strung from naturally coloured gemstone beads. There will always be slight colour variances in the beads.
Bracelet Sizing
I recommend you select a size that is 1-1.5cm larger than your actual wrist size to allow a little movement. As these bracelets are elasticised it is not recommended that you wear them taut as it strains the elastic and may be uncomfortable on your wrist, nor too loose that it will catch on things.
Mala Sizing
Wristocracy Mala are strung from 108 x 8mm beads unless otherwise stated. They can be finished with your choice of tassel, crystal piece (yours or ours with drilling an extra cost if needed). Mala can also be finished infinity style as in the rainbow style.
Caring for your Wristocracy:
Like with all my jewellery I do recommend you take bracelets off before entering water. Frequent exposure to water and cologne can damage the beads.
Some gemstones are water or photosensitive. This means long periods of water or sun exposure may erode or fade the stone - so it is best to keep this in mind when wearing or storing the jewellery.
Safety
Bracelets are intended for adult wear only. Please keep beads away from animals and small children and ingestion may cause harm.
Gemstones are beautiful to look at, but make no mistake - they should never be ingested. If your bracelet or necklace breaks, collect all the stones and put them in a safe place and contact the maker to remake (if possible). I will remake my pieces only. Please note there is a small charge for re-making and if extra beads are required I may charge a little bit for those also.
Most minerals are safe to wear or handle normally, however if the polish on your gemstone starts to breakdown you need to consider replacing the stones.

Sizes outside the standard ones listed are available on request - please feel free to message me. Please note that bracelets above 21cm may cost a little extra (approx + 15%) due to the extra cost of beads used.
