What makes a bracelet Classic

Our Classic line is the one to start with. The idea is simple: round natural stone beads, clean sterling silver details and combinations of two or three stones that look good together. Nothing loud, nothing to go out of fashion. It suits women and men, and it works as a first bracelet or as one more in a stack.

One bracelet to wear with everything.

Silver or gold-plated

Many Classic pieces come in both finishes. Silver is cool and crisp. Gold plating warms the stones and gives a dressier look. Pick the one that matches the jewelry you already wear.

Pick your bead size

  • 4mm: slim and light, easy to stack. Our most popular Classic size.
  • 6mm: balanced, a good first bracelet.
  • 8mm: noticeable, works alone.
  • 10mm and up: bold, a statement on its own.

Stone combinations that work

  • Onyx and tiger's eye: black with warm gold-brown, the all-round favorite.
  • Howlite and hematite: white and metallic grey, clean and modern.
  • Labradorite and amazonite: cool blue-green with a flash of color.
  • Turquoise and tiger's eye: a warm, summery mix.
  • Sodalite and howlite: soft blue and white, light and calm.

How to stack them

  • Start with two or three slim 4mm bracelets in different colors.
  • Add one slightly bigger bead, 6 or 8mm, as the centerpiece.
  • Keep one metal tone, all silver or all gold plated, for a calm look. Mix them for a relaxed one.
  • Leave a little extra length so the stack does not pinch.
