Have you ever needed a little spark of courage?  A moment of confidence to take that first step, follow through on an idea, or finally begin something you've been putting off?
 
Many people reach for Carnelian when they want a reminder of their own determination and inner strength. Often associated with motivation, creativity, and confidence, it's a favourite crystal for setting intentions and embracing new opportunities. If you enjoy working with the energy of the New Moon, Carnelian is a wonderful crystal to keep close while setting your monthly goals and focusing on what you'd like to create.
 
Your bracelet has been handcrafted using gold-plated artisan wire with a brass core. Every rich orange Carnelian gemstone has been individually wrapped by hand before being carefully shaped into a bracelet that's both strong and flexible.
 
The handcrafted hook clasp fastens securely into a hammered loop, creating a design that's made to be worn and enjoyed for years to come.
 
And yes... every one of those hammered loops was created by hand, much to the annoyance of my cat and the rest of the family. Some bracelets announce themselves while they're being made.
 
It fits on a wrist that is slightly more than 6 3/4 inches around and if you would like it a bit larger? Just ask and we can add a small loop extender to this piece. 
 
How to measure your wrist:  A fabric measuring tape is best, but if you don't have one, use a piece of string or cord.  Go around the widest part of your wrist where you naturally would wear a bracelet, but keep the string loose.  Gemstones can be large and will need a little extra space, so when you place the string down to measure on a ruler, add a bit of length - about 1/4 inch.
