Lava Stone Bracelet

Lava stone is the lightest bead we carry and the only one with an open, porous structure. That is exactly why it wears so comfortably. You barely feel it, not even with two or three sitting side by side.

What makes lava stone different

Lava stone is solidified volcanic lava. The air that escaped as it cooled left behind the pores you see in every bead. That makes the stone light, matte grey-black rather than deep black, and it absorbs moisture. A drop of essential oil on a bead stays noticeable for hours. Alongside the classic black we also carry white lava stone: the same structure, in off-white.

Care, and why it matters here

That porosity is exactly what demands attention. Lava stone absorbs soap, perfume and hand gel just as readily as oil, and over time that leaves it dull and blotchy. Take it off before you shower and apply care products before you put it on, not after. White lava stone is more sensitive to this than black.

What to combine it with

Lava stone is matte and therefore asks for something that catches light. Next to hematite you get matte against metallic, the most common way to make lava visible. Next to polished obsidian you set two kinds of black against each other, which works out subtler than it sounds. All the dark options are together in the black gemstones.

6mm or 8mm

Lava stone comes in 8mm for men and in 6mm for women. Because the stone is so light, 8mm feels less heavy here than with other stones. Measure your wrist and add about one and a half centimetres; the full breakdown is in the size chart. If you're between two sizes, we'll exchange it free of charge.

What is said about the effect of gemstones is cultural and symbolic, not medicine, and that is how we present it. Handmade in the Netherlands from real natural stone, since 2019.
