Protecting the Blind Side Bracelet

For the Earth Goddess — the one making the daily plays.

Pyrite is the only stone that genuinely looks like metal, and eight-millimeter rounds of it give you a bracelet with real heft and a brassy, struck-coin shine that no plating imitates. Polished black tourmaline runs along the back of the wrist as a counterweight, matte-dark against all that glitter. At the center sits a shungite hexagon — cut flat and six-sided rather than round, so it lies against the skin like a small tile.

Smaller beads mean a lower profile, which is why this one wears well under a shirt cuff. The gold of the pyrite is warm rather than yellow, so it sits comfortably next to brass, bronze and worn leather.

8 mm pyrite rounds · 8 mm polished black tourmaline back · shungite hexagon center · stretch cord, no clasp · Small approximately 7 in, Medium approximately 7 1/2 in, Large approximately 8 in · handmade in small artisanal batches, so stones and sizing vary slightly
