Handmade crystal bracelets

Next to the waterproof stainless steel body chains, Mandelina has a second, much smaller line: bracelets strung bead by bead by hand. Faceted crystal and glass beads, made in tiny runs — usually one single piece per colour sequence.

Meraki — doing something with soul and care

Meraki is a Greek word for the devotion you put into a thing until a part of yourself is in it. That is how these bracelets are made: bead by bead, until the colour sequence is right. Quantity plays no role in it.

Material

Each piece is strung from faceted crystal and glass beads, with small spacer beads setting the colours apart. Some of the beads carry a shimmering coating that lights up in different tones depending on the angle of the light. That rainbow shimmer is an effect of the coating.

The materials used in a specific piece are listed in the description of that item on Etsy.

Care — how this differs from the steel line

The 316L stainless steel body chains are made for water: the sea, the pool, the shower. That explicitly does not apply to the crystal bracelets.

Coated crystal and glass beads stay beautiful when they stay dry. Take the bracelet off before showering, swimming and sport, let perfume and lotions dry first, and store it dry and soft.
