The Sense Laboratory | Black Rutilated Quartz & Rainbow Obsidian Bracelet

Nobody likes disaster or grief, and moving toward comfort is simply how people are. Treat them as an experiment life requires, though, and it turns out you cannot feel joy without having felt sorrow. We run all kinds of control groups through our own senses and learn that an event by itself is completely neutral. What differs is us, and that difference is what turns a sensation into one feeling or another. My joy could be somebody else's sadness. The point of the experiment in the end is to know yourself and accept yourself, to read the result and understand what you actually want. Whatever satisfaction comes after that is rare and it lasts. Edison put it roughly this way, that he had never failed, only found ten thousand approaches that did not work.

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. Black Rutilated Quartz, Rainbow Obsidian, Hematite. Set in brass.

Sizing. Bead sizes run roughly 4mm to 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.
