The story of this piece
Balance / Resolve
Texture, contrast, and a silver cadence
White stone veined like a chart, porous black lava, polished onyx, and carved silver-tone spacers keeping the rhythm. The piece reads as a map read by lamplight: light ground, dark roads, and a few marked points.
It belongs to Clarity. Tradition holds howlite as the patient stone, the one that slows the reply, and lava as the stone of what has already been survived. Together they describe a particular kind of mind: the one that wants to see the whole territory before it answers, and can afford to wait for it.
Made for people who are asked to decide quickly and have learned to look once more first. It sits well beside a pale cuff and disappears under a dark one.

Read about HowliteQuestions about this piece
What if I don't know my wrist size?
Order without a size. We write to you before stringing with a two-minute way to measure, and we hold the piece until you reply.
Can I wash my hands with it on?
Yes, briefly. Take it off for showers, swimming and sleep; wood and porous stones prefer to stay dry.
What happens if the cord wears?
Send it back. The house restrings cord and closure for life; a restring takes seven to ten days.
Is it a good gift if I don't know their size?
Yes. Choose Standard fit and the middle of the range, and add a note. One complimentary resize is included, and the record card explains it.
