Fluorite Bracelet or Necklace
Fluorite is a favorite of ours, with a beautiful span of colors from yellow to blue to purple! It's a softer stone, and at times easier to access than similar colors of spinels, tourmalines, amethyst and green amethyst - and it's all natural colors which makes it so wonderful to wear! Fluorite, as a softer stone, can be thought of as "pillowing" and protecting you from energies that could disturb your chi. To make a bracelet, get ONE strand (8"), and for a necklace, make sure to get TWO! You can straight string OR knot this project. Tips: 1) If you have difficulty opening smaller clasps, try the 11mm lobster and 6mm soldered ring. 2) You can straight-string this, or knot and add the bead tips at the end to finish. If you don't want to knot as much, you can do a knot every couple of beads. This protects from losing ALL your beads should it ever break, and also adds a pop of color between your spacers or beads. 3) Add your own focal to make it fun! If it's a heavier bead, it will move to the bottom center with gravity. If it's too big to string on, you can wrap it separately onto a ring, and string it like a charm. 4) Turn your necklace into a multi-wrap bracelet! Just keep in mind to size it to your WRIST first.. depending on your wrist size, a double wrap bracelet end up too tiny for your neck.
