Tightly woven, adjustable, magnetite is indeed magnetic
Pro tip for jewelry purchasers: If you aren't sure if the material you just bought is plastic or stone, tap it against your teeth. Real stone will make a glassy "tink!" sound, and plastic will feel like plastic. Real stone is also COLD until your body warms it up.<br />The magnetite in this bracelet is indeed SLIGHTLY magnetic, it can be tested with any normal household magnets. Hematite is non-magnetic. From shining a flashlight through the stones, I can see that the black onyx has some translucent areas, which shine a mahogany color. They are irregularly translucent. The yellow-brown tiger's eye stones have the typical shimmer of that stone, with lots of streaks and flecks. I can't say with certainty that all the stones are 100% real, but they show enough signs of being real that they don't look like plastic or cheap jewelry at all. For that reason I would be confident giving this as a gift to someone.<br /><br />The weaving of the stones in the bracelet is TIGHT. the 3 rows are curved slightly inward from the tension of the weaving, making a rounded and heavy cuff. The bracelet is exactly as pictured on the store photo. You can pull the two dangling ends to adjust the width. In fact, the weight is so noticeable on my wrist (59g on my kitchen scale) that it's slightly distracting. If you don't usually lift any weights you might just notice the weight of it!<br />The only thing I don't like is the two dangling adjusting ends, as they have a magnetite bead on the end of each, which get trapped under my wrist as I'm typing and make clicking noises as I move, which I'm not used to. I could remove those beads if I really think they're distracting.<br />Overall this is a handsome bracelet that looks professional and could be worn with almost anything.
