Our planet is alive and lava is its blood. There is no better reminder of this fact than carrying a stone that seeped out of the ground at 1000°C not so long ago. The skulls are a reminder of how fragile and precious life is in the face of such forces.

The clasp, the highlight parts and the skull are made of gold-coloured surgical stainless steel. A stainless steel cable runs through the beads, making it stronger than most men's bracelets and ensuring it retains its shape.

Far Eastern meditation philosophies associate lava stone or basalt with the root chakra and believe it grounds its wearer and extracts positive feelings and thoughts while filtering out negative ones.

Tiger's eye is associated with the solar plexus, sacral and root chakra and is believed to activate your second brain (your 'gut' or intuition) and help you realise your potential.

Put a few drops of essential oil on the lava stone and it will seep into the pores and coat them from the inside. The fragrance is then slowly released into the air throughout the day. Much better than running to the bathroom every hour to reapply your eau de toilette, isn't it? The bracelet is wearable aromatherapy.

Due to the natural origin of the stones, there may be slight colour variations.
