A look at Ex Voto’s beaded bracelets
Discovering Luxury
Did you know that our beaded stretch bracelet bundles feature bracelets made of semi-precious, genuine stones? We love providing pieces of a luxurious quality that hold up over time and that tell a story. Our beaded bracelets exude the highest level of craftsmanship through their semi-precious stone geology and tell a story through what they represent.
The history of semi-precious stones
Quartz
Quartz is a hard, crystalline mineral composed of silica. It has been regarded as the “perfect stone” and has been viewed as a symbol of patience, and purity. While it can be found in many colors, here at Ex Voto Vintage, we love its natural soft pink color.
Lapis
The deep dark blue of lapis lazuli can be mesmerizing. This rich blue stone includes tiny flecks of mica, like a night sky full of stars. Since the earliest of times, lapis lazuli has been associated with royalty, strength and courage, wisdom and intellect, friendship, and truth.
Jade
Jade has always been a customer favorite! Its silky green color is absolutely lovely and remains one of our favorite stones to work with. The Chinese, Maori, and Meso-American cultures, in particular, prized jade and excelled at creating amazing pieces from it. When the Spaniards arrived in Mexico, the Aztecs valued jade many times more than its weight in gold. Jade symbolism has often encompassed themes of harmony, eternity, and virtue.
Shell
Shells are usually perceived as feminine; a symbol of birth, good fortune, and serenity. Shells are something we love to incorporate into our pieces at Ex Voto Vintage, because our Rosemary beach location is so close to the coast!
