Petite Power Bracelet (17cmx6mm) - Sodalite

• Smooth, rounded beads with a polished finish, cool against the skin at first and warming as you wear them.
• Colour that shifts bead to bead, from inky navy to brighter blue, with pale streaks running through.
• A single strand of 6 mm beads, which sits neatly on its own and is slim enough to layer with a watch or other bracelets.
• No two bracelets match exactly, because the markings are the stone's own.

It is a single row of round, polished beads in a 17 cm by 6 mm size, strung as a simple bracelet. It arrives on a printed card, ready to give as it is. As with any beaded strand, take it off before washing, swimming or sport, and ease it on and off gently rather than tugging it over the hand, which keeps the stringing sound for longer.

Sodalite is a deep blue mineral, prized for the vivid colour that gives it its name and for the white calcite markings that cross it. Those pale veins are completely natural, and they are what make a sodalite bead easy to recognise. It is a relatively soft stone, so keep it away from knocks and abrasive surfaces, and wipe it with a soft dry cloth to keep the polish bright.

In crystal practice, sodalite has long been associated with calm, clear thinking and honest self-expression, and it is linked in tradition to the throat and brow chakras. Many people wear a blue stone like this as a small personal reminder to pause, breathe and speak plainly. It is a quiet ritual, a way of keeping an intention close through the day.

The dark blue sits easily with denim, white linen, silver and gold alike. Stack it with a few other slim bracelets or wear it alone for something understated. Presented on its own card, it makes a thoughtful gift for a birthday or a quiet thank-you, especially for someone who loves blue or has an interest in stones.
