The amethyst sets the tone: a violet quartz, transparent to cloudy, with the even colour strongest in the centre of each bead. The copper provides the counterweight, being a warm reddish metal with a soft, low-glare surface. The proportions are kept to a strand that sits at the wrist, and the design belongs to Dolma Designs, a series using compassion and quiet courage as contemporary design themes.
Each component is listed with the way it behaves, so nothing about the ageing comes as a surprise. Amethyst is a different case in wear: it wears well day to day, though the colour fades under prolonged strong sunlight. Copper — a warm red-brown metal that never glares back at you. Day to day, its surface deepens in tone the longer it is worn, so the colour you receive keeps moving. The textile cord appears as a tight woven cord with a matte, slightly fibrous surface. Against the skin, it stays soft against the skin and holds a knot well, but a daily-worn strand will fray where it rubs a clasp.
Sizing runs across four stated ranges: 5.9–7.1 in (15–18 cm), up to 5.9–7.1 in (15–18 cm). Both options are made to the same visual proportions, so the choice is about fit rather than look. What the motif carries is symbolic, and the meaning it takes on is the wearer’s to decide. Slight differences in shade, inclusion and grain between pieces are inherent to the materials. We confirm the current piece, the finished dimensions and the lead time in writing before any payment.
Care
Store it out of direct sun and wipe it with a soft dry cloth. Wipe it dry after wear and store it away from damp air; polish only with a copper-safe cloth if you want the original brightness. Keep it dry, avoid perfume and household chemicals, and replace the cord once the fibres begin to lift. Water, perfume and cleaning products are the three things most likely to shorten its life. Wipe it after wear, store it dry and away from direct sun, and it will need very little else.
