The Knight Moves First | Obsidian, Schorl & Tiger's eye Blue Bracelet

Across sixty four squares, no hesitation. Make the first move. Inside safe ground, step forward twice and open both flanks, then build something solid. I guard the king and reinforce the kingdom inside me. Jumping over the other pieces feels like jumping over my own doubts. I hold to the belief that only I can break out of this, that my life is fully in my hands, and that the opening I imagined is the one I get to play.

About the crystals. Every MenWen piece is built around natural stones, chosen for their color and character and set by hand in Taiwan. We treat crystals less as talismans and more as material for wearable art, so each piece is a small design object you can carry with you.

Materials. Schorl, Obsidian, Tiger's eye Blue, Rainbow Obsidian, Smoky Quartz, Volcanic Rock. Set in brass.

Sizing. Bead sizes run roughly 8mm, and may vary slightly between batches. Choose the wrist measurement closest to your own and we adjust the length so the bracelet sits comfortably and can still turn on the wrist. If your measurement falls between sizes, for example 15.5cm, pick 15cm for a closer fit or 16cm for a looser one.

Shipping. Orders usually ship 1 to 3 days after purchase, excluding national holidays. During promotions, dispatch may take a little longer.
