This basic shungite bead bracelet is a significant upgrade from stretchy shungite bracelets strung on elastic cording.
Like you, I love the convenience of elastic bracelets but what I don't love is that even the best elastic can fail - which is why I offer this upgrade.
Because you and I BOTH want your bracelet to last forever!
These 6mm round black shungite beads are strung on flexible but super strong beading wire with 48 strands of steel woven underneath. Two beautiful sterling silver beads have been added near the clasp for accent.
For a visual comparison of bead sizes, the last photo shows the shungite bead bracelets with various size shungite beads: 6mm rounds, 8mm rondelles, 8mm rounds, and 10mm rounds.
You get a choice between two high quality clasp styles. Each has its advantages, so it's really a matter of personal preference.
Mag-Lok Clasp: The Mag-Lok is a very strong, self-aligning rare earth magnet encased in sterling silver. The advantage of a Mag-Lok is that it's easy to open and close with one hand. The disadvantage is that, being a magnet, it will grab onto metallic objects when it gets close to them, which can be annoying to some people (but entertaining for others).
To open the Mag-Lok, it is best to SLIDE the two halves apart rather than pulling. A thumbnail can be handy to get it started. It closes itself!
Mag-Lok Cautions:
Lobster Claw Clasp: A lobster claw style clasp is the tried-and-true classic jewelry closure. The advantage is, it's a bit lighter and prettier. However, it can also be a bit more challenging to attach and detach using one hand, especially for those with arthritis or poor vision.
Bead size: 6 mm
Bracelet length with Mag-Lok clasp: About 7.5 inches
