★★★★★ M.
Candles dedicated to the throat chakra - resonating with the color blue. They contain sodalite - a natural stone that promotes better communication, courage in expressing one's own opinion, and greater creativity. For me, a big plus is that the candle is made from natural soy wax, and thanks to the…

★★★★★ A.Retro
I like these lamps, they're fairly priced and don't appear to be in the daytime, but in the evening they come to life, with a lovely warm retro look and feeling.I would have preferred them to come with a switch set to their lowest light setting, or the gradient of brightness to start at its highest…

Love these. I took them on holiday with me and they came in very handy. They are light and the little packs are small enough to fit easily in your bag.

★★★★★ C.White sage and peppermint sage stick
Nicely presented and well made, the sage was easy to use - though I was glad to see some brief instructions on the box too as someone trying this for the first time. It did take a little while to light and only burned for a short while but it was long enough to give the room a pleasant and relaxing…

About this product
What you'll notice
- The shells are smooth and matt, the colour of toasted oat, with a visible slit along each one that lets the sound out.
- Dark brown oval beads and small rings of coconut-brown wood form the band, strung close together so it sits as a ring rather than a loose cord.
- Tiny green, yellow and red beads sit between the shells, a small flash of colour against all that earthy neutral.
- The band looks stretchy and slips on over the hand, so there is nothing to tie or fasten while you are mid-rhythm.
- It is playable with either wrist, and it leaves both hands free for a drum, a dance or a clap.
Shells, beads and a stretch band
The fifteen shells fan outward from the band like petals, and each one hangs a little loose, so it swings and knocks against its neighbours. That freedom is where the sound comes from. Shake the wrist quickly for a busy, shimmering rattle, or move slowly for single, separate clicks. The wooden beads in between add a softer knock underneath the sharper shell sound.
How to play it
Wear it on the wrist and let the movement of your arm do the work. A small flick gives a light patter; a bigger swing gives a fuller rush of sound. It works as an accent to a drum, a beat to keep time while you dance, or a rhythm of its own. Because the sound answers instantly to your movement, it is easy to start and satisfying to refine, but keeping a steady, even rhythm takes practice.
Where it comes from
Shell and seed rattles worn on the body are a long-standing form of percussion in many cultures, where the dancer's own movement becomes the instrument. This piece is made in Indonesia, in that same spirit: sound that belongs to the body as much as to the object. Its natural materials mean no two shells are exactly alike in shape or shade, so each band has its own character and its own voice.
Care
Keep it dry and store it flat or hung, so the shells are not crushed. The band is the working part of any wearable rattle and will wear with use, so avoid pulling it over the hand with a sharp tug. Wipe with a dry cloth if needed.
