Intriguing Terahertz Bracelets
Experience the sleek, modern appeal of our terahertz bracelets. Each bracelet features beads made from terahertz, a unique synthetic material originally developed in Japan for advanced technological applications. Terahertz is classified as a metamaterial, engineered to have properties not found in nature, and is known for its distinctive metallic sheen and smooth, polished finish.
Our bracelets are intuitively (or randomly, depending on your perspective) selected for each order, ensuring you receive a piece that’s as unique as you are. Don't worry, though—we hand pick each piece so that only the most lovely pieces make it to our store!
Bead size: Most of our bracelets are 6–9mm.
Origins and Function of Terahertz Metamaterial
Terahertz was created to manipulate electromagnetic waves in the terahertz frequency range, which sits between microwave and infrared on the electromagnetic spectrum. The material was originally designed for use in scientific, medical, and imaging technologies, where precise control of electromagnetic waves is essential. Its innovative structure allows it to interact with terahertz radiation in unique ways, making it valuable for applications such as security scanning, medical diagnostics, and advanced communications.
It is often said that this material produces terahertz radiation. That is not the case. This is a common misunderstanding of the science behind this metamaterial. Instead, this material is meant to modulate terahertz radiation. Simply put, modulating a frequency means to actively control certain properties of such as phase, amplitude, or polarization.
Notable Physical Properties
One of the most remarkable features of consumer grade terahertz is its high thermal conductivity. The material conducts both heat and cold extremely well, which means it can quickly take on the temperature of its environment. As a result, it’s important to use caution when wearing terahertz jewelry in extreme temperatures, as the beads may become uncomfortably hot or cold against the skin. This characteristic also makes terahertz beads feel refreshingly cool to the touch at room temperature.
Newer variations of this fascinating metamaterial are able to tune the thermal conductivity. Read more about that here.
Comfortable, Contemporary Design
Our terahertz bracelets are strung on a durable stretch cord for a comfortable fit that suits most wrist sizes. The smooth, rounded beads have a modern metallic appearance that pairs well with both casual and formal outfits. Lightweight and easy to wear, these bracelets offer a distinctive look that stands out in any collection.
A Unique Gift or Personal Accent
Terahertz bracelets make a thoughtful gift for anyone interested in innovative materials or sleek, contemporary design. Each bracelet is crafted for both style and comfort, making it a versatile and memorable accessory.

The metaphysical properties of this synthetic stone are unclear. It is best to get to know it on your own and work from there. For those well versed in frequencies, this information may help:
"What’s so special about THz?The THz region lies in a technologically awkward space. Research towards the development of electronic oscillators capable of reaching THz frequencies pushes out the limits of high-speed electronics. From the other end, ultrafast optical research typically deals with oscillations on the order of 1015 Hz, three orders of magnitude too large. The bandwidth of a typical ultrafast laser pulse is on the order of 1012 Hz, a property which we can exploit to generate THz waves.
The point of generating THz waves is that there is very interesting physics in this large spectral region. With THz, it is possible to probe dynamics of such far-ranging systems as: intersubband transitions in semiconductors, vibrational levels in molecules, and phonon resonances in crystals, for example. Other practical applications for imaging with THz beams are also being developed."
Using THz waves, researchers can investigate (or “probe”) how different systems behave on a very small scale. The examples given are:
- Intersubband transitions in semiconductors:
This means looking at how electrons move between different energy levels inside materials used in electronics (like computer chips). - Vibrational levels in molecules:
THz waves can be used to study how the atoms in a molecule move or vibrate, which is important for understanding chemical properties and reactions. - Phonon resonances in crystals:
“Phonons” are vibrations inside a crystal structure. THz waves can be used to observe these vibrations, helping scientists learn more about the physical properties of crystals.
Please Note:
- Sizes and weights are approximate. Dimension sizes can vary based on the way the rock is formed. We hand measure our pieces on the longest side. Please see the pictures in the listing.
- The colors may vary due to monitor and lighting differences. We take our own product photos at this time. We are experimenting with lighting as we go.
