Courage Stone Collection
Courage is resistance of fear, mastery of fear - not absence of fear – Mark Twain
We all experience times when we would rather take the easier path than the one that is new or challenging. It takes courage to step out of the comfort zone. It takes courage to persist in your belief. It takes courage to look into the eyes of failure and learn from it. Courage is at the heart of every successful encounter.
Inspired by the courage of all those who inspire us, who came before us, and paved the way for us to go after our dreams, the Courage Stone Collection includes a set of four stunning bracelets to enhance your inner strength, and encourage your inner warrior to emerge.
A Powerful Harmony Harvested from the Earth
Since ancient times, Courage Stones have been used in various items, as embellishments, base materials, and core elements – owing to their tough physical characteristics and intrinsic capabilities to resonate with the Earth’s frequencies and amplify positive energies.
The Tiger Eye Stone, a golden-brown quartz, earned its name when it was carved into amulets and talismans worn by Ancient Roman soldiers to strengthen their focus and determination in battle, akin to a tiger on the prowl.
The Black Onyx, a layered stone quartz has a long history of use in stone carvings and jewellery. The onyx symbolizes initiation and change in Peruvian and Native American traditions because it inspired feelings of personal power that comes from facing one’s fears. It is believed that the Black Onyx crystal has the capacity to absorb and transform negative energy into one that magnifies emotional and physical strength.
Though the tiger eye stone and black onyx can be found all over the world, the Courage Stones are specially sourced from the mystical mountain ranges in the Kingdom of Nepal.
In the Courage Stone collection, you will find these mystical stones crafted into tasteful bracelets enhanced with diamonds and gold to connect the wearer with their inner power and positive life energy every day.
Everyday Use
Every object on earth, whether living or inanimate, has a certain energy. Gemstones and crystals are known to have the ability to hold this energy and harness it positively through the right medium. Courage stone bracelets made from the mystical and powerful Tiger’s Eye and Black Onyx can be worn for daily use depending on the need of the wearer.
These special bracelets are designed with specific and powerful stones to help bring you a desired energy. You will experience real change when the emergy of these stones is combined with your thoughts, your intentions and your own energy. Together, they can help you create a desired outcome to manifest your goals and desires.
It is important to note that life energy flows in and out of us differently in every occasion and getting the most out of the Courage Stone bracelets requires one to be mindful of how the bracelet is worn. Each bracelet should be kept clean from any foreign remains so as not to disturb its intrinsic energies. Tiger Eye bracelets must be worn around the right wrist, as wearing it on the left wrist has been said to cause overheating in some individuals.

Black Onyx Prime Bracelet
Known as a protective stone that enhances emotional and physical strength, the black onyx absorbs and transforms negative energy to provide aid in times of stress, confusion, or anxiety. It is said to allow the wearer to overcome their deepest fears and let go of their limiting beliefs. For anyone on a journey to become a master of their destiny, these are important aspects. The centre stone is made 6.2 grams of 18-karat white gold with black ruthenium plating, with 27 black diamonds.
If you have a hand-wound watch, it is advisable to wind it every morning. Mechanical watches must be serviced at least every three to five years to have the mechanics checked and relubricated. The tiny parts inside the watch are under tremendous strain, so friction is their greatest enemy. Lubrication prevents the bearings from drying out and grinding away the steel parts.
Exposing your watch to high temperatures, such as placing it on the dashboard of your vehicle or submerging it in a hot tub, may cause the watch to malfunction, may shorten battery life, or may damage its internal components. Leaving the watch in extreme cold temperatures may cause irregular timekeeping.
Do not expose an analogue quartz watch to magnetism. If you do, it may temporarily stop operating or may show gain or loss in time.
To ensure that it maintains its water resistance, make sure the crown of the watch is always pushed against the case. You should have your watch checked once a year for water resistance. Condensation inside your watch is an indication that its water resistance has been affected.
For maximum performance, regularly wipe your watch with a clean, soft cloth. Stains, water spots and dirt that have accumulated on the case, crystal or bank may cause premature wear. If you use your water-resistant watch in the shower, chlorinated water or saltwater, rinse it with fresh water and dry it thoroughly afterwards.
Care for the Crystal Surface
- A watch may have a scratch-resistant sapphire crystal face, but that doesn't mean you should toss your watch on top of the dresser or into a drawer at the end of the day. It is better to store or wrap it in a soft cloth before placing it down.
- Replace broken or scratched crystals immediately. Even a hairline crack can bring dust or moisture into the mechanism, affecting the accuracy.
Care for Metal Bracelets
- If you participate in activities that cause you to sweat excessively, you may want to consider getting a watch with a metal bracelet or rubber strap, rather than a leather strap.
- Since the metal bracelet is worn next to the skin, it collects dust and perspiration, which becomes soiled if not cleaned regularly. This is particularly true of the inner mesh of the bracelet.
- When soil and rust are present in a bracelet, they are dissolved by perspiration and can cause staining of the cuffs and, in some instances, irritation of the skin.
- Wipe dirt and perspiration off with a soft, dry, lint-free cloth. If the watch is water resistant, you can occasionally clean the bracelet with a soft brush and warm soapy water. Dry the bracelet completely.
- A toothpick can also be used to clean any dirt that has built up in the bracelet or casing of the watch.
Care for Leather Straps
- Straps that are made of natural and genuine leather will gradually deteriorate with constant exposure to perspiration. If not cleaned, perspiration can wash out the natural oils and cause the leather to become dry. Any moisture should be blotted with a soft cloth or paper towel and the strap should be allowed to dry naturally.
- Salt residue and soil can be removed from leather straps by cleaning it with a dampened soft cloth and mild soap (or saddle soap, which is special leather soap).
- Wear the strap slightly loose, with an allowance of one finger space between the wrist and strap. This invites air circulation and allows any moisture to evaporate.
Care for Rubber Straps
- Rubber straps should be washed frequently with mild soap and warm water using a soft brush.
- Solvents, oils, perspiration, tanning lotions and salt can cause rubber to deteriorate if not removed.
