Yes. Every bracelet ships with a certificate of authenticity confirming the beads are the natural mineral named in the listing, not glass, resin, dyed reconstitute or coated metal sold under a stone's name. Because it is natural rough, colour, banding and inclusions vary from bead to bead, and that variation is one of the clearest ways to tell real stone from a moulded imitation.

No gemstone has been shown in scientific research to change financial outcomes, health, relationships or luck, and we will not tell you otherwise to make a sale. What a bracelet does reliably is put a chosen intention on your wrist where you see it dozens of times a day. Buy it for the reminder, for the tradition and because you like wearing it. Those are real reasons.

Choose by situation rather than by colour. Pyrite for drive and momentum, tiger eye for holding steady under pressure, lapis lazuli for clear thinking and study, sulemani hakik for protection and reacting less, lava stone if you want a ritual you can use with essential oil, and firoza for calm speech and safe travel.

Wrap a measuring tape or a strip of paper around the widest part of your wrist and add about 1cm for a comfortable beaded fit. Most adult women land at 16 to 17cm and most adult men at 18 to 19cm. If you are between two sizes, take the larger one, because a slightly loose bracelet keeps the elastic cord from being permanently stretched.

The traditional guidance is left for receiving and right for projecting, so stones worn to draw something in go on the left and stones worn to act or protect go on the right. The more practical rule is to wear it on your non-dominant hand, where it takes fewer knocks and stays cleaner while still being in view all day.

Take it off before showering, swimming and the gym, since water is what weakens the elastic cord on every beaded bracelet regardless of stone. Put it on after perfume, sunscreen and lotion rather than before. Wipe it with a dry or barely damp soft cloth and avoid ultrasonic cleaners. Store it coiled loosely in its pouch rather than hanging.

Because it is genuine pyrite. Pyrite is iron sulphide and oxidises on contact with sweat and humid air, shifting from bright brass to a deeper antique gold over weeks. Plated and coated imitations stay identically bright for years, so tarnishing is actually proof you have the real mineral rather than a fault.
