Product Type: Bracelets

Rainbow jasper puts two finishes on one Atlas strand: the jasper beads are polished and banded, the lava beads are matte and plain, and the loop alternates between them all the way around. Black lava is cooled volcanic rock full of small pores, so each lava bead is matte, light for its size and never takes a polish. Everwood names the stone imperial rainbow jasper, and the bands are what you are paying for, so this is the bead to wear where the wrist gets looked at.

  • Two finishes, one cord. Polished jasper catches light and matte lava swallows it, so the strand shows its pattern without any metal.
  • Bands per bead. The banding runs through the rough, and each bead cuts across it at a different angle, so no two show the same stripes.
  • Polish that lasts. Jasper is hard enough that keys, cuffs and desk edges do not dull it.

Rainbow Jasper Bracelet with Two Finishes

A jasper bracelet made entirely of jasper is all gloss, and gloss all the way round starts to look like plastic from a distance. Spacing the jasper with lava breaks the shine into points. Each polished bead becomes a highlight and each lava bead a pause, which is why this strand reads as stone rather than as costume even in a photograph taken with flash.

Polished Jasper Beside Matte Lava

Jasper is a microcrystalline quartz, and quartz takes a glass-like polish that lava cannot. The result on the wrist is a strand that looks brighter under a desk lamp than under an overcast sky, because the polished beads need a light source to bounce. Under flat daylight the bands do the work; under a spotlight the shine does. Either way the lava stays the same, and that constancy is what holds the loop together.

Banding That Changes per Bead

Banded jasper is layered like sediment, and a round bead cut from it shows the layers as curves, stripes or a single swirl depending on where the drill went through. Lay the strand flat and you can pick out the beads with the boldest bands. Put those on top of the wrist; the cord lets you rotate the whole loop without taking it off, and the beads hold their positions once set.

Keeping the Polish on Jasper

Jasper measures 6.5 to 7 on Mohs, harder than a watch case in stainless steel, so nothing in a pocket will scratch it. What dulls it is film: skin oil and lotion build a haze that flattens the shine. A cloth dampened with water, rubbed bead by bead once a week, keeps the polish where it started, and the lava beads can be wiped in the same pass. It comes in three sizes, S/M for a 6 to 7 inch wrist, M/L for 7 to 8 and L/XL for 8 to 9, and Everwood advises the larger size when your wrist sits on a boundary.

Atlas Rainbow Jasper Worn to Work

Is rainbow jasper too much for an office? Not when it is broken up by lava. The pattern sits in small polished points rather than as a solid band, and under a shirt cuff only two or three beads show at a time.

What color shirt suits banded jasper? Plain ones. The bands supply the pattern, so a solid shirt in white, light blue or gray gives them room; a check or a stripe on the cuff competes with them.

Will the jasper scratch the lava beads? It can, a little, over years, because it is the harder of the two. The marks land on a matte surface and are invisible in wear, and they do not weaken the beads.
