Tourmaline is one of the most chemically complex minerals on earth, and it is this complexity that gives it something no other gemstone family can offer: an extraordinary range of colour within a single stone type. From deep forest green to watermelon pink, from inky blue-black to pale golden yellow, each tourmaline bead is a distinct expression of the same mineral, shaped by the precise combination of elements present as it formed, deep within the earth, over millions of years.
No two beads in this bracelet are the same. The colour shifts from bead to bead are entirely natural, the result of geology rather than treatment, and the overall effect is one of quiet, layered richness, a piece that reveals more the longer you look at it.
Tourmaline is one of the most energetically diverse stones in crystal healing, its properties shifting with its colour. Green tourmaline is associated with growth, vitality, and connection to the natural world, working with the heart chakra to encourage compassion and renewal. Pink tourmaline carries a gentler energy, warmth, emotional healing, and an opening of the heart. Blue tourmaline, known as indicolite, is linked to clarity of thought and honest communication, working with the throat and third eye. Black tourmaline is one of the most protective stones known, said to create a grounding shield against negative energy. Together in a single bracelet, they offer a broad and balanced spectrum of support, grounding and uplifting, protective and open-hearted.
This bracelet is hand strung with polished multi-colour tourmaline beads, sterling silver accent beads worked in at considered intervals to bring a cool, precise counterpoint to the warmth and variety of the stones. Finished with a sterling silver clasp, it measures 19cm (just over 7 inches), slightly generous on an average UK wrist, giving a relaxed, comfortable fit with a little movement.
A bracelet that is as considered to wear as it is to look at.
Handcrafted at Rachel Hartley Atelier. Arrives gift-ready.
Please note: This piece is part of our Sample Sale. It comes up slightly larger than our standard sizing and has a small kink in the beading wire at the clasp. Neither affects the wearability of the bracelet, and it is offered at a reduced price to reflect these details. All sample sale purchases are final sale.
