How to measure

Every bracelet is made to order. Getting the size right means it sits well, moves with you, and lasts. Measuring takes 30 seconds.

1. Wrap a soft tape measure around your wrist, just below the wrist bone, where you'd wear a bracelet.
2. No tape? Wrap a strip of paper around instead, mark where it meets, then measure it against a ruler.
3. Keep it snug but not tight. That's your wrist size.
4. Find it in the chart above.

How to find your size

Necklace length determines where a piece sits and how it layers. Most men wear 46–50cm for a clean solo look. For layering, keep at least 4cm between lengths.

Length	Where it sits	Note

The Self-Awareness Intention

Honesty · Clarity · Witness

For the man who is done telling himself the comfortable version. What that honesty gives him. Where he reads other people better than himself. The work of seeing himself without softening or punishing.

The Strength

Honest reading of your own motives
Awareness of the part you played
A self-image that updates with the evidence
Composure when you are the one being examined

The Challenge

Telling yourself the version that lets you off the hook
Mistaking self-criticism for self-awareness
Avoiding the feedback that would actually help
Reading other people better than you read yourself

The Work

See yourself without softening or punishing
Hear the harder feedback all the way through
Catch the pattern before someone else has to
Name what you actually want

The Mirror

See it as it is.

Lapis Lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock, flecked with golden pyrite inclusions where iron and sulfur crystallised within the stone. Renaissance painters ground it into ultramarine, the most expensive pigment in Europe, reserved for what mattered most.

Self-Awareness is for the man who has decided the comfortable version of the story has stopped being useful. It is the willingness to stay in the question one beat longer than feels easy. Look past the first answer. Then look again.

The Daily Practice

Stay with the harder answer.

Look back at yesterday and find the moment you'd tell differently if you were being fully honest. Stay with that version a little longer than is comfortable.

When you put this on each morning, ask yourself:

What is the version of this story that makes me look worse, and is any of it true?
What feedback have I been dismissing because of who it came from?
Where am I performing self-criticism instead of doing the work of changing?
What pattern have three different people pointed out to me?

You cannot change what you refuse to see clearly. Start with sight.

About Lapis Lazuli

Sterling Silver

Sterling silver, all the way through.

The clasp and findings are sterling silver through and through, so there is no plating to wear away. Like all real silver it can darken with time; a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back. Made to be worn daily, for years.

About Self-Awareness

What does the Self-Awareness bracelet represent?

Self-Awareness is for the man who is done telling himself the comfortable version. It represents the work of seeing yourself accurately, then choosing to build from what you actually find.

If you're not sure which Intention fits you, take the 60-second Intention quiz.

What stones are in the Self-Awareness bracelet?

The Self-Awareness bracelet is made with Lapis Lazuli, Lava Stone and Pyrite, set with sterling silver hardware and stainless steel wire.

Lapis Lazuli is a deep blue metamorphic rock flecked with gold pyrite inclusions. Traded along the Silk Road and ground into ultramarine pigment by Renaissance painters. Associated with honest self-assessment and the kind of awareness that does not flinch.

How do I know if Self-Awareness is the right Intention for me?

Choose Self-Awareness if you catch yourself reading other people better than you read yourself, if feedback you dismissed has started repeating, or if the comfortable version of the story has stopped being useful.

For a guided recommendation across all 24 Intentions, take the 60-second Intention quiz.

Can I pair the Self-Awareness bracelet with another?

Yes. The Self-Awareness bracelet pairs naturally with Inner Wisdom. Two deep blue stones, Lapis Lazuli and Azurite, stacked at the wrist. Self-Awareness sees the man honestly. Inner Wisdom is the judgement that builds on what was seen.

How is Self-Awareness different from Self-Acceptance?

Self-Awareness sees the man honestly. Self-Acceptance decides he is worth building on. Awareness comes first. Acceptance is the bridge to action. Self-Awareness sits within the focus and clarity theme of the Intentions collection; Self-Acceptance within transformation and renewal.

Ordering & care

What sizes are available?

Intention bracelets come in seven sizes from 18 cm to 24 cm, fitting wrists 15.5 cm to 22.5 cm. The 21 cm size is the most common choice. Measure your wrist with the size guide and add 2 cm for a standard fit or 3 cm for a relaxed fit.

How does it fasten, and will it stretch?

It closes with a Sterling Silver clasp. The beads are strung on flexible stainless steel wire, so it moves with your wrist but does not stretch or sag over time.

Are the stones natural?

Every stone in an Intention is genuine natural stone. Variation in colour and pattern is part of it: no two pieces are identical. See the stone library for the meaning and formation of each one.

What are the clasp and findings made of?

Sterling Silver, with no plating or coating, so there is no surface layer to wear through. Like all real silver it can darken with time; a soft polishing cloth brings it straight back.

Is it safe for sensitive skin?

Most of what touches your skin is natural stone. The wire is coated stainless steel and almost entirely covered by the beads, so the main metal contact is the clasp and findings, which are Sterling Silver. If you have a known metal allergy, check these materials against it before ordering, or contact us and we'll send the full component list.

How should I care for my bracelet?

Remove your bracelet before swimming, showering, or heavy exercise to protect the stones and the wire. Store it flat when you're not wearing it. Wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.

See the care guide for stone-specific notes.

How long does shipping take?

Each bracelet is made to order in Queensland, Australia. We aim to dispatch within 2 business days. Every piece is handmade after you order, so occasionally it can take a little longer.

During peak sale and holiday periods, allow up to 4 business days for your shipping confirmation. See the shipping policy for details.

Do you ship internationally? What does shipping cost?

Yes, we ship worldwide. In Australia, Standard shipping is free on orders over $119 (otherwise $10) and Express is free over $249 (otherwise $13). In the US, Standard shipping is free over US$99, with duties included. For every other country, shipping is calculated at checkout.

Can I return or exchange my bracelet?

You can return unworn bracelets in original condition within 30 days of delivery. You'll receive a credit note to use on another size or piece. We don't refund change of mind because each piece is made to order with natural stones, but we'll always work with you on sizing.

See the returns policy for full terms.

What does it come with?

Every piece ships in a Mana for Men box with a card explaining its stones and the Intention behind them.

Is it a good gift?

Yes. Every piece ships in a Mana for Men box with a card that explains its stones, so it arrives ready to give.

How do I wear it day to day?

Designed for daily wear. Wear it alone or layered with other pieces. Made for life, work, and the moments that call for focus.

Take it off before swimming, showering or heavy exercise.

Is there a guarantee?

Yes. Every Intention is covered by our 12-month guarantee. If a piece fails under normal daily wear within 12 months, Mana for Men will repair or replace it.
