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.
Moss Agate Rice Bracelet
Alternating · Moss Agate
Small elongated beads strung on their length, so the strand reads as woven rather than strung. Moss agate is clear chalcedony with green inclusions of chlorite or hornblende caught inside it, so the green is genuinely inside the stone rather than on its surface.
Moss agate is clear chalcedony with green inclusions of chlorite or hornblende caught inside it, so the green is genuinely inside the stone rather than on its surface. No two beads contain the same pattern, and matching a strand means accepting that the pattern will vary along it.
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.
Two sizes or two tones alternate the whole way round, which changes how the strand reads at a distance — a repeating rhythm rather than a single colour. It needs twice the bead sorting of a plain strand and leaves no room for a filler bead.
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: Durable, but the inclusions are softer than the quartz around them. Avoid abrasive cleaners.
