Crystal Bracelets

Which crystal bracelet to wear for your goal

Start with what you want help with, then match the stone. This is roughly the list we give people who ask us directly:

• Money and savings: Pyrite for wealth, or Citrine, which is linked with Guru and abundance.
• Business and talking to clients: Green Aventurine, a Budh stone. Good for sales, trading and anyone on calls all day.
• Love and relationships: Rose Quartz, linked with Shukra.
• A calmer mind: Clear Quartz, linked with Chandra.
• Courage and drive: Red Carnelian or Red Jasper, both Mangal stones.
• Confidence: Tiger's Eye, tied to Surya and Ketu.
• Shani periods and protection: Amethyst, Lapis Lazuli or Black Obsidian. Obsidian is also used for Rahu.

Can't decide between two? The Mix & Match offer takes ₹200 off any two bracelets. Ready-made multi-stone sets are under Remedy Bracelets.

Natural stone or dyed glass

A lot of cheap "crystal" bracelets sold in markets are glass or dyed stone. Glass beads tend to be the exact same shade, and you may spot tiny round air bubbles inside. Dyed stone shows darker colour collecting in cracks and around the drill hole. Natural beads differ slightly from one to the next, have small inclusions and feel cool when you first touch them. Pyrite feels heavy for its size, and Tiger's Eye shows a band of light that moves as you turn it. Since ours are natural, expect small colour differences from the photos.

Cleaning, recharging and which hand

Keep soap, perfume, sanitiser and pool water off the beads. They dull the polish and weaken the elastic over time. A soft dry cloth is enough for cleaning. To recharge, leave the bracelet on a Selenite plate overnight, or in moonlight on a full moon night. Pyrite in particular should stay dry.

Traditionally the bracelet goes on the right hand. Plenty of people simply wear it on the hand they write with, and that is fine too.
