Pyrite is the famous fool's gold, and it has fooled plenty of prospectors with that brassy shine.

It's an iron sulphide mineral, heavy and metallic, polished here into round beads that glint like little ball bearings. You'll notice the weight as soon as you pick it up. The beads sit on a stretchy cord, so the bracelet rolls on with no clasp.

Pyrite is traditionally linked with abundance, prosperity and confidence, so it's a popular pick for side hustles and new jobs. It's also great for anyone who likes a metallic look without wearing actual metal. Paired with green aventurine, it makes a classic money stack.

How to use it

• Wear it for a pitch, interview or payday
• Stack it with green aventurine or citrine
• Give it to a friend starting a business
• Pick it if you like a metallic look

Care: Keep it dry, since moisture can dull or tarnish pyrite, and wipe it with a soft, dry cloth.
