Freshwater pearl in small beads on a fine strand, so the bracelet reads as a line of colour rather than a band. This is the size that stacks well: three of them on one wrist still look quiet.

About freshwater pearl

A pearl is not a stone. It is built layer by layer from aragonite platelets bound by a protein, deposited by a mollusc around an irritant. Those layers are what give a pearl its soft directional lustre instead of the sharp reflection of a polished crystal. Freshwater pearls are grown in mussels rather than oysters and usually have no bead inside, so a baroque pearl is solid nacre all the way through and its irregular shape is the natural shape of the growth. Hardness is only 2.5 to 4.5, far softer than any quartz.

Fit and sizing

It is a single loop, elastic bracelet on elastic with no clasp, and fits approx. 15-18 cm (5.9-7.1 in) wrist. Because the core is elastic it rolls on over the hand, so there is nothing to fasten one-handed. If you need a specific length, message us before ordering and we will tell you what is in stock.

Care

Put pearls on last and take them off first, so perfume and hairspray do not reach them. Wipe with a soft damp cloth after wear and dry flat. Never soak, and keep away from vinegar, lemon and bleach.

Common questions

What is freshwater pearl?

A pearl is not a stone. Freshwater pearls are commonly bleached or dyed; ask if you need natural colour only.

Will it fit a larger wrist?

The elastic core gives roughly 1 cm of stretch, so it suits a wrist from about 14 to 19 cm. Beyond that the beads sit too far apart and the loop stops looking even. Message us if you are unsure.

Is it safe to exercise in?

Light activity is fine. Sweat itself does no harm, but the elastic degrades faster with repeated stretching and drying, and a heavy gym session is where most elastic-core bracelets fail.

How long does the elastic last?

Expect a year or two of daily wear. Elastic fails from UV, sweat and repeated stretching rather than from age, so storing it out of direct sun when you are not wearing it makes a real difference.

Is the silver real 925?

Yes. The metal parts are stamped 925 sterling silver, which is 92.5 percent silver alloyed with copper for hardness. It will tarnish over time, and a silver cloth brings it back.

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.
