Are the stones at Stone Virtue treated or enhanced?
At Stone Virtue, we prioritize authenticity and quality. All our stones are genuine, natural gemstones. Due to the unique composition and properties of certain stones, stabilizers may occasionally be used to reinforce their structure and ensure they can be crafted into the desired shape. This process helps maintain the integrity and durability of the stones.
If any of our stones contain stabilizers, we will clearly state it in the bead’s description. We also want to assure our customers that none of our stones are heated, dyed, or artificially colored—their beauty is completely natural and unaltered!
Each batch is personally tested to verify the stones’ authenticity and quality. When you order from Stone Virtue, you can rest assured that what you seek is exactly what you get!
How do I know what size I need?
Correct measurement is critical when ordering your bracelet. If in doubt, it is better to err on the larger side because the elastic band we use is incredibly durable and will be uncomfortable if there isn't any wiggle room. Ideally, the bracelet should be able to rotate freely on your wrist without grabbing. The measurement will be for the inner circumference of the bracelet, not the length of the strand before tying.
I found a great video on simple measuring by Sarah Elise Jewelry here:

What do you use to tie the bracelets?
We use a super durable 1 mm elastic band which is incredibly resistant to stretching and breaking. We then hide the knot by drilling one bead with a slightly larger hole and pulling the knot into it. This keeps the bead spacing uninterrupted by an unsightly knot, and ensures your bracelet will never come undone.
