Natural Stone Braided Tibetan Bracelet

Description

The natural stone braided Tibetan bracelet sits close to the wrist with a weight that registers immediately. Each stone is distinct in color, veining, and surface temperature, pulled from the same material world it has always occupied.

Tibetan bead bracelets have been crafted by artisans across the Himalayan plateau for centuries, threading natural stones onto cord as both personal adornment and cultural practice. The tradition draws from the region’s relationship with stone: turquoise from the high passes, agate quarried locally, citrine carried along trade routes. The braided cord technique, using waxed cotton or linen, produces a structure that holds tension without a clasp.

Stone variants available

Each bracelet is available in eight natural stone types: Rose Quartz, Turquoise, Blue Turquoise, Blue Agate, Dark Blue Agate, Black Agate, Citrine, and Shoushan Jasper. All stones are uncoated and untreated, showing their natural surface and any inherent inclusions.

Bead size and construction

The 6mm bead version is in stock and ships within the standard window. The 8mm bead version is made to order with a 2 to 3 week lead time. Each bracelet is strung on hand-braided waxed cord with a sliding knot closure, adjustable across a range of wrist sizes without hardware. Total weight is typically 15 to 22 grams.
