Steady-hearted bracelets: the meaning of Poise

PoiseSafe PassageSymbolizes steering clear of trouble and staying safe

Traditionally, obsidian, smoky quartz and cinnabar are associated with steadiness and safe passage, and shapes such as the peace buckle and the gourd carry a wish for safe comings and goings. This page gathers the materials on our site that carry the Poise symbol, and the bracelets customers have made with them.

No. 03 — COMPOSITION
  1. One lead colour is enough

    Pick one or two materials of this character as the lead and use a little more of them, and the character comes through clearly.

  2. Leave room with white

    White stones such as clear quartz and white azeztulite lean towards no character, so they work as breathing space between the leads.

  3. Let metal spacers set the rhythm

    Gold-coloured or silver-coloured spacers are not counted towards the character; use them to break the colours into sections and give the strand a rhythm.

No. 07 — QUESTIONS
Is a bracelet limited to just one character?

No. Most bracelets carry two or three, and the designer shows the share of each.

Do I have to use only the materials on this page?

Not at all — mix in materials from other characters too. The character is recalculated from the proportions as you go.

What does “Safe Passage” mean here?

It is a popular, everyday way of describing the Poise character — the traditional symbolism of steadiness and staying out of trouble. It is a sentiment for choosing, not an effect.
