Crystal and beaded bracelets are everywhere this summer, but what can they actually do for you? We asked expert, Kathinka Foster to share some of the properties of the different stones. A longtime fan of crystals, Kathinka began making bracelets for her friends and family during lockdown with the hope of giving them a lift, and they proved so popular she decided to launch a business, Tinkalink that specialises in pretty jewellery with powerful properties. Pick your bracelet – for summer travel, or for the new term in September – accordingly.
