LAVA STONE: a grounding stone that strengthens one's connection to Mother Earth. It supplies strength, courage, and stability through times of change. The grounding qualities of calming Lava Stone calms the emotions with intense energy and is specifically useful in dissipating anger. Thought to be a rebirth stone that sheds unneeded emotional layers to its natural deep connection to Mother Earth’s center.

CORNICELLO/HORN: Like all cultures, the peoples of Italy have several superstitious beliefs to protect themselves and their loved ones against danger, misfortune and bad luck. Their most well-known symbol of protection is the Italian Horn, which dates back to ancient Roman times, and is still widely used today. The horns ward off the evil eye (malocchio) of devilish envy. By invoking bull-like strength against such evils, the horns bring good luck and good fortune, similar to "touch wood" or "knock wood". Often worn on jewelry, it is also common to see the charm hanging inside a car for protection. Some historians believe it also derives from “cornucopia” -- goat horns filled with gold, precious stones, and products of the earth as symbols of abundance and success, also called the Horn of Plenty.

♡ All jewelry comes with a burlap jewelry gift pouch and is shipped using Earth-friendly, recycled, environmentally-conscious packing materials. 

♡ All bracelets come with instruction tips on how to best care for your stretch bead bracelet.

HANDCRAFTED JEWELRY ~ Bracelets are constructed one at a time and therefore no two will be exactly alike. Due to variations in both materials and sourced supplies, slight imperfections are to be expected. Natural beads and stones often contain flaws, blemishes, variations and inclusions. I always do my best to accurately reproduce the designs portrayed in the jewelry for sale. Please note also that photography presents differently on varying devices.

♡ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡ 
Your stretch bracelet is handcrafted to be strong and lasting, but elastic, stones, beads and metal plating are not eternal. Natural wear and tear will also affect your jewelry. By following these simple tips, however, you can maintain your jewelry’s beauty for as long as possible:

> DO NOT GET YOUR BRACELET WET ~ Keep your jewelry away from moisture. It is best to remove your bracelet before washing your hands, showering, exercising and swimming since contact with moisture can break down the elastic, ruin finishes and tarnish metals and charms. 
> AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer or other chemicals can weaken the elastic, harm natural crystals and result in the discoloration and peeling of beads and gemstones. 
> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your bracelet in sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may lead to elastic erosion and can cause beads and metal to discolor. Remove your bracelet while exercising.
> ROLL IT ON AND OFF ~ Do not over-stretch your bracelet! It has been made with pre-stretched elastic. Over-stretching it beyond its capacity will cause it to break. To keep from overly stretching it to put it on and off, slide your fingers into the bracelet first, then gently roll the beads over your knuckles and then onto your wrist. Do the same when taking your bracelet off.
> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your jewelry safely in a soft pouch or secured in a box or drawer. Never wear your jewelry to bed and remove when sleeping.
