The Mana Bracelet is the result of two decades of experience with pearls and leather. All three of the components: pearl, leather and mother-of-pearl button, are things you can feel good about. The leather is the strongest in the world. It comes from kangaroos that are harvested to keep wild populations healthy. Kangaroos have dramatically less impact on the ozone than livestock and don't require precious farmland, making them also the most ecological leather available. This product was designed to be durable and to withstand an active lifestyle. Originally created for surfers, lovers of numerous outdoor sports have adopted it for its simple elegance and ocean chic. This item appeals to both sexes and is a favorite among those who don't resonate with precious metals. This version is made for those who want to take the bracelet off more easily than our standard model with sliding knots. The button closure is quite secure and works great with an active lifestyle. The only time we'd recommend the knotted version over this version is for surfers or anyone participating in water sports where they may get pummeled underwater. Pearls used are 8-10mm semi-round, semi-baroques, baroques or circled pearls. In general, the bracelet should be a half to one inch bigger than the circumference of your wrist. 5 to 5.5 inch wrist: Size 6 5.6 to 6.5 inch wrist: Size 7 6.6 to 7.5 inch wrist: Size 8 7.6 to 8.5 inch wrist: Size 9 8.6 to 9.5 inch wrist: Size 10 If you're between sizes, adding an extra knot at the loop closure can easily shorten the bracelet about 1/4 inch. The leather will also stretch slightly with wear. If you'd like another length than those listed, please contact us.
