About tourmaline
Tourmaline is a borosilicate mineral with a complicated chemistry: aluminium, boron and silicon combined with any of several metals, and which metal is present decides the colour. One crystal can be green at one end and pink at the other, and slices across it show both. The mineral is strongly pleochroic, meaning a single stone looks darker or lighter depending on the direction you look through it. Hardness is 7 to 7.5, which makes it one of the more durable coloured stones for everyday wear.
Fit and sizing
It is a multi-wrap, elastic strung on elastic with no clasp, and it approx. 15-18 cm (5.9-7.1 in) wrist. Because the core is elastic you wind it on rather than fasten it, so there is nothing to do up one-handed. If you need a different length, message us before ordering and we will tell you what is in stock.
Care
Wipe with a soft damp cloth. Avoid steam and sudden temperature change, since tourmaline often contains fine internal fractures.

Common questions
What is tourmaline?
Tourmaline is a borosilicate mineral with a complicated chemistry: aluminium, boron and silicon combined with any of several metals, and which metal is present decides the colour. Usually untreated. Colour is intrinsic to the crystal chemistry.
What wrist size does this bracelet fit?
It is strung on elastic with no clasp and measures about 15 to 18 cm (5.9 to 7.1 in) of inner circumference, which fits most adult wrists. If your wrist is outside that range, message us before ordering and we will tell you what we can do with the stock on hand.
Can I wear it in the shower or to swim?
Take it off first. Repeated soaking weakens the elastic core faster than wear does, and chlorine and salt leave a film on the bead surface that dulls it. A splash is fine; a daily shower is not.
What happens if the elastic breaks?
It can be restrung. The cord is a standard 0.8 mm elastic, and any jeweller can replace it in a few minutes. Message us and we will tell you the cord diameter and bead count so the repair matches.

About this piece
What exactly is this piece made from?
Natural gemstone. Every piece is inspected by hand before it ships. Treatments that are standard in the trade — heat-treated amethyst sold as citrine is the classic example — are explained in our material & treatment guide.
What should I know before ordering?
Each piece is assembled from natural stone, so colour, pattern and exact dimensions vary slightly from the photographs. The specification table above lists what is measured for this piece.
Can I wear it every day, or in water?
The stone itself is not harmed by a splash, but removing it before showering, swimming, sauna or the gym is the single easiest way to make it last. Chlorine and salt water attack elastic over time, and repeated flexing is what eventually wears any cord out.
How should I care for it?
Roll it on rather than stretching it over your hand, wipe it with a soft dry cloth after wearing, and keep it away from perfume and chlorine. Store it flat in the pouch provided, out of direct sun. See our crystal care guide.
