Birthstone Bracelets
These delicate silver birthstone bracelets are strung from tiny sterling silver beads and monthly birthstones.
Larger versions in full gemstones are available in the Colour Therapy 4mm faceted range or you can request larger still - please message me if this is your preference.
More information about each of the gemstones is available to view on Wristocropedia.
Each bracelet comes on its on Wristocracy card containing a little bit of insight into the healing benefits of the gemstone and a little about attributes of someone born in each given month.
Choose your birth month or pick a few to represent your family or friends. If you prefer, collect the whole rainbow. They also make a really great Christmas or birthday gift.
Many people don't realise that there is not just one birthstone associated with each month. Instead there are several for each month, depending on which calendar you cultural calendar you refer to. So, with this in mind I have selected gemstones from across Modern, Alternate and Traditional birthstones depending which I find the prettiest stones. Over time I may change some of these stones out as I find nice examples of each, so do keep looking and you can add to your collection.
As these bracelets feature such tiny little beads I suggest selecting a size no more than 1cm above your actual wrist size in order for them not to be too loose.
SHIPPING I am happy to ship anywhere in the world, however will need to get a custom quote from NZ Post. The price quoted for Australia, US and the UK is tracked NZ Post and based on the package weighing 200 grams, if parcel is larger additional shipping may be required, particularly with Mala as additional insurance may be required. Fedex is available at extra cost and shipping time is generally very quick. Currently cost for Fedex is an additional $20 NZD or approx equivalent USD$12/GBP£10/AUD$18

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.
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.
