Petite Power Bracelet (17cmx6mm) - Rainbow Agate

• The beads are smooth and polished, cool against the skin at first and warming quickly as you wear them.
• The palette moves from deep tangerine through honey and cream to the occasional pale green bead, so the eye keeps finding something new along the strand.
• Each bead is a natural stone, so the shading differs from one to the next, and no two bracelets are arranged quite the same way.
• The beads are small and neat, a slim line on the wrist rather than a chunky statement, which makes it easy to layer with a watch or other bracelets.

The beads are round, polished and 6 mm across, threaded on cotton cord. The bracelet measures 17 cm, a comfortable fit for an average wrist. Because the beads are small, the bracelet sits close and light rather than swinging or catching on sleeves.

Agate is a banded form of quartz, valued in jewellery for its smooth finish and range of natural colour. Rainbow agate is a name for strands that bring several of those colours together, here the warm oranges and yellows alongside cream and soft green. Variation in tone and cloudiness from bead to bead is part of the natural stone, not a flaw. In crystal traditions agate is linked with steadiness and grounding, and many people simply wear it as a quiet reminder to slow down and stay present.

Keep the bracelet away from water, perfume and household cleaners, and take it off for washing up, swimming and exercise, as moisture and friction wear on cord over time. Wipe the beads with a soft, dry cloth. Store it flat or in a pouch so it is not pulled or knocked against harder jewellery.

The bracelet comes on its own illustrated card, so it is ready to give as it is. It suits someone who likes natural stones and soft colour, or anyone starting a small collection of everyday jewellery. A good choice for a birthday, a thank-you, or a small gift to yourself.
