The basics
So... what is a crystal necklace?
Most of ours are tiny 2-3 mm stone beads on a slim 15-inch strand. It sits close to the neck.
Most are natural. Treated ones say so: citrine is heat-treated amethyst, and aura pieces are metal-coated quartz.

Using it
Wearing it

Layer it
Pair a 15-inch bead strand with a longer chain. Two lengths look intentional.

Perfume first
Lotion and perfume go on first. Necklace goes on last.
-
Skip the water
Take it off for showers, swimming and bed. Store each one in its own pouch so chains don't knot.

Good questions
Questions people ask us
How long are the bead necklaces?
Our 2-3 mm bead strands are 15 inches, close to the base of the neck. Want a longer drop? Layer an 18-inch chain.
Sterling silver or plated?
Sterling is 92.5% silver, often stamped 925. Plated is a thin layer of gold or silver over another metal. It costs less but wears faster, so keep it dry.
Are these real stones?
Most are natural. Treated ones say so in the name: heat-treated, dyed or aura-coated.
Do pendants come with a chain?
Usually not, so check the listing. Pair one with a chain you already love.
