What is a protection crystal bracelet?
A protection bracelet is a crystal bracelet strung from stones traditionally worn to absorb or deflect other people's energy: black tourmaline, black obsidian, hematite and smoky quartz. It is usually worn on the right wrist, the projecting side. Crystal Basket's protection pieces are 8 mm black and metallic beads, so they read as everyday jewellery rather than a talisman.
Which wrist?
Tradition puts protection stones on the right wrist: the left side receives and the right side projects. Wear it wherever it feels comfortable; there is no rule worth stressing over.
| Stone | Traditionally worn for | Water |
|---|---|---|
| Black Tourmaline | Protection, Boundaries, Grounding | Brief rinse |
| Black Obsidian | Shielding, Truth, Release | Brief rinse |
| Hematite | Grounding, Focus, Steadiness | Keep dry |
| Smoky Quartz | Grounding, Release, Steadiness | Brief rinse |
| Labradorite | Transformation, Magic, Aura shield | Brief rinse |
Which crystal is traditionally worn for protection?
Black tourmaline is the stone most traditionally worn for protection, followed by black obsidian and hematite. The Guardian pairs black tourmaline with hematite and a single gold-filled bead, and The Shield is a single row of polished obsidian for a simple, all-black look.
Is a protection bracelet the same as an evil eye bracelet?
No. An evil eye bracelet uses a blue eye charm, a tradition across the Middle East and the Mediterranean. A crystal protection bracelet uses natural stones such as black tourmaline and obsidian instead. Some people wear both, and they stack comfortably on the same wrist.
