Net Necklace for Tumbled Stone, Various Colors, 15 Inch

Sliding wooden bead closure. Lift the bead, drop in a standard tumbled stone, lower the bead and the net cinches shut. No wire, no glue, no tools.

Twisted knotwork net. The pouch is knotted so it stretches to cradle stones of slightly different sizes and grips them once the bead is down.

About 15 inches, colors vary. A short, close-to-the-collarbone length that keeps the stone against the chest. The cord color is random, and each net is a little different.

• Design: twisted knotwork net pouch with a sliding wooden bead

A crystal holder necklace is used in eclectic crystal practice to carry a working stone on the body, the same way a charm bag carries roots and herbs in Hoodoo or a pouch carries a talisman in folk magic. The difference is that nothing is sewn shut. The stone comes out when its job is done and a new one goes in for the next working.

That flexibility suits the way many witches actually use crystals: a stone for the season, a stone for the week, a stone for the one hard conversation. Wearing a stone against the skin is the oldest form of crystal work there is, older than grids and tumblers, and the net simply makes it easy to keep doing that with whatever stone is calling.

Think of the empty net as a question the necklace asks you each morning: what do you need to carry today?

1. Choose a tumbled stone for your current intention and cleanse it however you usually do: water, smoke, moonlight, or a rest on selenite.
2. Slide the wooden bead up the cord to open the net, set the stone inside, and lower the bead until the net holds it firmly. Give it a gentle tug to check.
3. Hold the necklace and say what the stone is for. A single sentence, out loud, is enough.
4. Wear it through the day or the working. When the intention is complete, open the net, thank the stone, and put it back on the altar.
5. Swap in the next stone whenever you like. The cord can be spot-cleaned with a damp cloth and air-dried.

You will find your own rhythm with it. Some people change stones daily; some keep one in for a whole moon cycle. Both are right.

• 7 Chakra Tumbled Stones, Set of 7: seven tumbled stones, one for each week of a chakra rotation in the net.
• Happiness Kit, 3 Tumbled Stones: three tumbled stones chosen for uplift, sized right for the pouch.
• Black Obsidian Hematite Protection Set: black obsidian and hematite for the days you want a shield at the chest.
• Calming Gemstone Set, 5 Stones: five soft-energy stones to rotate through for a quiet week.
• White Selenite Wand: rest the stone on selenite between wearings so it is cleansed before it goes back in the net.

Does the crystal holder necklace come with a stone?

The crystal holder necklace comes empty, without a stone, so you can fill it with any tumbled crystal you already own or choose one from the shop. The net is sized for a standard tumbled stone, roughly the size you would carry in a pocket. Very large palm stones and very small chips will not sit well.

How do I put a stone in a net necklace?

Put a stone in a net necklace by sliding the wooden bead up the cord, which opens the knotted pouch, then dropping the stone in and sliding the bead back down until the net cinches around it. Tug gently to make sure it is held. Reverse the steps to take the stone out or swap it for another.

What size tumbled stone fits?

A standard tumbled stone fits the net, which stretches slightly to cradle pieces a little bigger or smaller than average. Chips and mini stones are too small to be held securely, and large palm stones or spheres are too big. If a stone sits loosely, tighten the bead a bit further.

Can I choose the cord color?

You cannot choose the cord color; each net necklace is picked at random, and size and look vary slightly from piece to piece. Many people enjoy the surprise and take the color that arrives as part of the message. If you need a specific color for a working, a macrame necklace with a set stone may suit you better.

Can I wear it every day?

You can wear a net necklace every day, and the cord is comfortable against the skin. Take it off for showers and swimming so the cord and wooden bead stay dry, and check that the bead is snug before a long day. Spot-clean the cord with a damp cloth when it needs it and let it air-dry.

What is the difference between this and a crystal cage necklace?

This net necklace and a crystal cage necklace do the same job, holding an interchangeable stone against the body. A cage is usually a metal coil or spiral that the stone is pressed into, while this net is a knotted cord pouch closed with a sliding bead. The net is softer and lighter; a metal cage is more rigid.
