The Faithful Strands

Which stones are available?

Seven: Black Glitter Stone, Black Obsidian, Black Snowflake Stone, Black Volcanic Rock, Blue Lapis Stone, Brown Red Tiger Stone and Brown Yellow Tiger Stone.

Which stone looks the most discreet?

Black Obsidian or Black Volcanic Rock. Volcanic rock has a matte, porous texture; obsidian is smooth and dark.

Will the 21 cm Faithful Strands stone bracelet fit my wrist?

It suits a wrist of about 18 to 19.5 cm. The bead bracelet is 21 cm (about 8.3 in) and closes with a magnetic clasp, so measure just below the wrist bone first.

How does the magnetic clasp work?

Bring the two ends close and the magnet locks them together, so you can put it on with one hand. Pull firmly to open it.

Should I take off the volcanic rock Faithful Strands before washing my hands?

Yes, it is safer. Volcanic rock is porous and soaks up water, soap and perfume, so keep the bracelet dry and put it on after washing.

Is the tiger stone Faithful Strands a good confirmation gift for a young man?

Yes. Brown tiger stone beads with a small cross look natural and masculine, and the magnetic clasp is easy to close alone.

my dad has been really down since his stroke and he won't talk to anyone about it, not us, not the priest. he's the one the whole family always leaned on.

It's hard to watch the person everyone leaned on suddenly need something he can't ask for. He may feel he has stopped being who he was to you. Tell him, in plain words, that he hasn't. If the heaviness goes on, mention it to his doctor, since low mood after a stroke is something they'll want to know about. The Faithful Strands is natural beads and a small cross, for a dad who wears bracelets and not chains. He rarely spoke about his faith, yet the whole family leaned on it. Fasten it for him if his hand won't. Say: You carried us. Our turn now.
