Black Tourmaline Nugget Bracelet — rendered visualisation, studio photography pending

Hand-strungNugget

This is a computer-rendered visualisation, not a photograph.

Each piece is made by hand in small numbers, so we render it rather than photograph a duplicate. The image shows the form, the material, the finish and the proportion — it is not a photograph of the exact piece you will receive, and natural stone varies from one piece to the next. Write to us and we will photograph the actual piece in stock, with its weight and measurements, before you buy.

Card payments are handled by our payment provider with 3-D Secure 2. We never see or store your card number.

Beads left in the shape the rough broke into, so no two carry the same pattern. Black tourmaline, or schorl, is the iron-rich end of the tourmaline family and the only one that is common.

Black tourmaline, or schorl, is the iron-rich end of the tourmaline family and the only one that is common. Cut across the crystal it has fine parallel striations and a low, soft sheen rather than a high polish; along the length it is almost black. Beads are cut from the thicker crystals and are unusually heavy for their size.

Beads left in the shape the rough material broke into, tumbled smooth but otherwise uncut. It is the least worked shape here, and on a stone with strong veining it produces the most varied strand, because no two beads carry the same piece of the pattern.

Beads increase steadily in size from the clasp to the centre and back down the other side, so the strand has a definite middle and a definite weight. Grading a strand this way means sorting every bead by diameter first, and the beads at the centre of the arc are the ones that set the price.

Sizing: the strand is strung on a doubled elastic core with a knotted finish, and it is made in three lengths — a snug 16 cm, the standard 18 cm, and a loose 20 cm. Beads are graded by hand before stringing, so the strand you receive is matched for size and tone from the first bead to the last. Every bracelet is strung to order in small numbers; if you would like the exact strand photographed before it ships, ask and we will send you the picture.

Care: Tough, but brittle across the length of the crystal. Avoid knocks rather than chemicals.

We dispatch within 48 hours of your order, from our warehouse in China, with tracking on every parcel.

We do not quote a delivery date. Once a parcel leaves us it is carried by an international courier and cleared by customs in your country, and a date we cannot control is a date we will not promise. The tracking number, which you get when the label is created, shows every scan to your door.

Shipping is complimentary on orders over CAD 79.00$; below that a flat CAD 9.50$ applies. HST (13%) is calculated at checkout. Duties and import taxes are the recipient's responsibility.

Unopened tins can be returned within 30 days for a full refund. If a tea is not to your taste, tell us — we would rather send you something you like than keep the money.

We accept Visa, Mastercard, American Express, Discover, JCB, Diners Club and China UnionPay through our payment provider's local card gateway, protected by 3-D Secure 2 authentication. Your bank may ask you to confirm the payment in your banking app or with a one-time code.

Card details are entered on our checkout and transmitted directly to the payment provider over TLS. They are never written to our database — we only keep the card brand and the last four digits so you can recognise the charge on your statement. All prices are in CAD.
