Moss Agate, Apatite & Variscite (set of 3)
This set was inspired by the colours of my crisp Winter morning walks through the park!
Designing this set was a way for me to bring my beautiful morning walk with me throughout the day. Each time I glance at my wrist I am reminded of the fresh rejuvenated feeling I get from my walk. Even when I'm stuck in traffic! (Please note photo was taken by passenger not me!) I selected the stones by intuition and the colours that to me; mirrored a lovely memory (photos above.) These very special stones are thought to possess metaphysical properties that bring even more meaning to me and the bracelets. Tranquility, communication, nature, budding friendships and getting rid of negativity all things that a good walk really provides for me. I so enjoyed finding out that the stones I selected based solely on appearance brought all these with them! I hope you love it as much as I do!
Moss Agate is thought to bring a sense of tranquility and emotional balance and may help when dealing with overwhelming emotions at either end of the spectrum. Moss Agate was named because of its appearance; the greenish filaments present in the semi transparent stone that resemble a creeping moss. Sometimes regarded as a stone of good luck it is often associated with gardens and nature and is also supposed to help with budding friendships! It is also often linked to the Virgo star sign and the Heart Chakra.
Blue Apatite is a motivational stone that promotes independence and good communication. It is thought to help clear away confusion and negativity and may also help with concentration, improved memory and creative problem solving.
Originally found in Germany, Variscite is a soothing stone that is said to help with perception and the communication of ideas. Variscite is often associated with empathy and moral courage, but also self reliance and expression.
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.
