The design centres on Citrine. It belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes. The proportions are kept to a strand that sits at the wrist, which keeps the piece easy to wear rather than heavy on the eye.
Piece by piece, the materials used here are: Citrine — transparent quartz in warm yellow through to amber tones. In wear, it takes a bright polish and holds colour well, though it is worth keeping out of long exposure to strong sun. Tiger Eye — golden-brown bands that shift and brighten as the piece turns, an effect specific to the stone. In wear, it is hard and holds a polish well, so it is one of the more forgiving stones for a daily-worn bracelet. Obsidian — a near-black volcanic glass with a deep, mirror-like surface. In wear, it takes a very high polish but is more brittle than crystalline stone, so it chips rather than scratches. Agate — a banded, gently translucent stone whose layers catch light at the polished surface. In wear, it is a hard, durable stone for everyday wear, though a sharp edge can chip against a hard surface. Jade — a smooth, subtly translucent stone with a fine internal grain. In wear, it is tough and forgiving in daily wear, and the surface takes a gentle sheen with handling. Pearl — a rounded nacre surface with a soft, layered lustre rather than a hard shine. In wear, nacre is comparatively soft, so pearls are better kept away from other pieces in storage. Sterling Silver — a bright white metal with a cool tone and a high polish. In wear, it is a softer metal than steel and will take small scratches; the surface also tarnishes to a darker tone over time. Silver-Tone Metal — a bright silver-coloured metal finish rather than solid silver. In wear, it keeps its tone with normal wear, and a plated surface can thin over years of daily contact.
It can be worn alone as a single line, or stacked with one or two narrower pieces without crowding the wrist. The piece is built for regular wear, and each material is expected to age visibly over time.
Size is the deciding factor on a bracelet: measure the wrist snugly with a soft tape and add roughly 1.5 to 2 cm for a comfortable fit. Because the materials are natural, expect minor variation in tone and pattern between the photographed piece and yours. Availability, the final measurements and the preparation window are confirmed with you in writing before any payment is taken.
Care
Avoid impact and household chemicals and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Wipe it dry and store it separately; nothing beyond avoiding long soaking is needed. Avoid impact at edges and store it separately so the polished surface is not marked. Wipe it with a soft dry cloth and store it separately so the polish is not scratched by other jewellery. Avoid impact at thin edges and keep it away from household chemicals; a soft dry cloth is enough. Put pearls on after perfume and take them off first; wipe them with a soft damp cloth and dry them fully. Keep it dry, store it in a low-air space, and use a non-abrasive silver cloth when you want the original brightness back. Keep it away from water, perfume and abrasive cloths so the finish lasts longer. Store the piece separately so it does not scratch against harder jewellery.
