These natural gemstones from around the world are unique treasures gifted by our bountiful living planet (known as Gaia in ancient Greece and by today's evolutionary biologists that respect her as one giant conscious being).

Throughout human history these beautiful rocks have been credited with the ability to foster positive moods around their wearer. Found in ruler's power symbols and worn as amulets since the Stone Age, the mechanism by which the invisible forces of these gems work is beginning now to be understood by quantum physicists, as they discover the subtle sub-atomic interactions between an object and its observer.

Gaia's gems are enhanced by gold & silver beads (used in jewelry for beauty and in alchemy as catalysts). Stones and metal are lovingly woven with conductive pure copper wire and grounded in a frame of Jeweler's Brass (85 Cu, 15 Zn), recently proven to be "an effective time-release source of essential copper" when worn on the skin.

How to choose for yourself

Your first indicator is beauty, the one that attracts you the most is probably the one that you need to wear the most. The given properties of each stone are well known and are reminded with each design. If you are choosing for yourself, roll it onto your wrist 2" above your wrist and adjust it until it feels right, if unsure, please ask the store assistant for a demonstration. If debating among 2 designs, try one in each wrist and choose the one that feels best.

How to choose for others

Choosing for others is easier than choosing for yourself. Just visualize the wearer and when you look at the designs the right one shall become apparent. Size is not a consideration, our only size is medium and it easily adjusts to accommodate from small to large wrists.

Sizing

Available in only one size: Medium. Our bracelets can be reduced to Small and expanded to Large to fit most wrists without hurting the stones.

Maintenance

Gaia's gifts are designed to be worn at all times, you can live with our bracelets on for years without ever removing them. The silver beads may darken if exposed to sulfur and with an active lifestyle the jeweler's brass may collect blemishes, both conditions could be easily removed with a polishing cloth. Any accumulated oils will wash off with soap and water and so any occasional dark mark that you may notice where copper touches your skin. A copper deposit is a natural phenomenon prized by many ancient cultures that interpret it as an early sign to slow down. This is because marks would usually appear during stressful periods, seemingly when our bodies dissolve more copper than it can absorb at that time (this is visible also with 14K gold rings since they are nearly 40% copper).
