Product Type: Bracelets

Ebony is the black wood, and the Cascade Ebony Silver bracelet from Everwood Original is a full strand of it: 8 mm ebony blackwood beads on black elastic with one steel accent that gives the design its name. It is the darkest, densest and heaviest strand in the line, and the one that reads as jewelry rather than as a wood bracelet. Each bead is 8 mm, about 0.31 inch, strung on black elastic stretch cord with a stainless steel accent bead.

  • Black that stays black. Ebony is near-black through the whole bead, so wear cannot expose a paler wood underneath.
  • Heavy for its size. Few woods are cut as dense as ebony, so a strand of it has a heft on the wrist that pale species do not.
  • Steel reads as silver. One polished steel bead on an all-black strand shows as a single bright point, which is what the name refers to.

Ebony Beads and Their Weight

A wooden bracelet in ebony behaves like a stone one, because ebony is dense enough that a bead of it comes near a stone bead of the same size in weight. That heft is what you feel first: the strand sits down on the wrist and stays put instead of riding up the arm. It also means the beads take a polish, so the surface reads as a soft sheen rather than the matte of lighter woods.

All Black with One Bright Point

A black strand with one steel bead is the closest a wood bracelet gets to a dress piece. The beads disappear against a black strap or a dark sleeve and the steel bead is what the eye finds. Turn that bead upward and the strand has a marker; turn it under and the wrist wears a plain black band. The mens bead bracelet in ebony is the one to wear with a suit for that reason.

Sizing a Dense Bead Strand

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. Because ebony beads are heavy, the fit matters more than on a light wood: a loose strand of ebony swings and knocks the wrist bone, where a loose strand of pale wood barely registers. When your wrist sits between two sizes the larger one is still the right call, but wear it a little snugger than you would a lighter strand by choosing the top of your range rather than the bottom.

Mens Bracelet in Polished Black

A mens bracelet in black ebony goes with everything a black watch strap goes with, and the polished surface is what separates it from a matte black bead. Handling gives ebony a sheen, so the beads brighten slightly over months rather than dulling. Keep oil and wax off it; the sheen comes from the density of the wood and the friction of wear, not from a finish, and a coating would only smear.

Ebony Silver Bracelet Up Close

Is ebony heavier than other wood beads? Yes, by a clear margin. Ebony is among the densest woods, and an ebony strand weighs close to a stone strand of the same bead size.

Where does the Silver in the name come from? From the single stainless steel accent bead, which reads as a silver point on an otherwise black strand.

Will polished ebony beads dull with wear? The reverse. Ebony brightens slightly with handling, and a dry cloth brings the sheen back if the beads pick up dust.
