Botswana Agate Rice Bracelet — rendered visualisation, studio photography pending

Hand-strungRice

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.

Small elongated beads strung on their length, so the strand reads as woven rather than strung. Botswana agate is named for its only commercial source, and it is the most quietly subtle of the agates: grey, cream and faintly pink banding with none of the dye or drama of the more famous stones.

Botswana agate is named for its only commercial source, and it is the most quietly subtle of the agates: grey, cream and faintly pink banding with none of the dye or drama of the more famous stones. It is cut from nodules that can be half a metre across, which is why the beads on a strand can be matched closely.

Small, elongated beads, named for the shape, strung on their length so they line up in fine parallel rows. Rice beads need more of them and more drilling per centimetre than any other shape, which is the work you are paying for; the effect is a strand that looks woven rather than strung.

Deliberately built off-centre, with the visual weight placed to one side of the wrist rather than at the middle. It is a composition rather than a pattern, so each strand is laid out by eye and no two come out the same.

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: Agate is durable and takes everyday wear. Clean with water and a cloth.

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We do not quote a delivery date.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.
