It is historically believed to banish hesitation, fortifying the wearer's spirit and providing the grounded courage to confront adversity and stand firm in their convictions.

Carefully assembled on high-grade stretch elastic within our Pointe aux Sables atelier, the bracelet is built for continuous, seamless wear. The dense, dark stones rest securely against the wrist, serving as a constant, physical reminder of your own inherent strength and capability to push through fear.
History
In antiquity, bloodstone was known as heliotrope and was traditionally believed to turn the reflection of the sun red when placed in water. During the Middle Ages, Christian tradition adopted the stone, asserting that the red inclusions were formed from the blood of Christ falling upon dark green earth at the crucifixion. This association cemented its traditional legacy as a stone of noble sacrifice and courage. The alternative name heliotrope translates from Greek to 'sun-turning'.
