Hm, that's really hard to tell! I'm torn between thinking that the beads are made of wood and thinking they might be tiger's eye.

Honestly? It looks like polished wood.

Obviously, more photos are needed.

I think it's wood. Or maybe one of those that are made of dried shells of, uh, small fruits, you know the ones?

Either way, it looks awfully hippie ::hearts::

[traveller.livejournal.com]

that was my second thought? but it looks also like the kind of stone bracelet that was so in vogue about 10 years ago.

tiger's eye is usually a bit darker than that, where it's not orange. i was thinking maybe soapstone?

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

CLEARLY.

i thought it looked like wood too, but some of the lighter beads are a bit green, and that's what makes me go there. maybe it's just the lighting.

I would be very surprised if it were anything but polished wood. The color variations and sheen don't look quite right for tiger's eye, and I guess it could be a very dull, subtle agate or something, but it seems unlikely to me. It's exactly the kind of wooden bracelet you get a Buddhist temples, but they were taken mainstream several years ago, though I think those were mostly plastic or stone. But it's that style, and I tend to think of wood as one of the most the classic versions.

jenny's propensity toward east coast chic is one of the things that makes me love her most of all. <333

see, i went to stone. maybe soapstone? it's the color of the lighter beads that leads me to it. they seem a bit green. y/n?

I just made my guy co worker look at this and give a MAN OPINION and he's with me on it being wood. The person above mentioned color variation and sheen and I'm down with that.

Also, I had a bracelet much like this and it reminds me of it.

Awww, he's so pretty. :D

I think it's wood, too: stone would move around more on his arm as he moves, because it's heavy and rolls on the string.

It looks to me like a Buddhist mala, like a rosary for reciting infinite numbers of "om mani padme hum." I've got one that's made of sandalwood, and it smells amazing, but honestly, I think his looks like stone. Maybe polished agate? Here are a bunch to choose from: http://www.yogabasics.com/japamalabeads/wristmalas.html

[jolielaide.livejournal.com]

Ooh, or maybe it's made of bone, horn, or seed?

(check out the dark bone malas on this site for comparison...)

[angstpuppy.livejournal.com]

Wow, had to peruse *all* the pictures on that post and, um....there was a bracelete?
Heh.
Looks like wood to me.

Actually, they make me think of jasper.

And i remember, when beaded bracelets were all the vogue, there *was* a stone - it might be jasper or it might be an agate - that was a mottled dark green and dark reddish-brown, and that's the first thing i thought when i saw that.

Or, yes, could be wooden beads.

what makes me say no to the mala idea is that it doesn't appear to have a tassle.

hi, I can't freaking believe I am having this conversation. in public. *hands over face*

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

I keep trying to look at the bracelet, but I caaaaan't. His FACE. How he is so frigging adorable? (That said, I'm going with some kind of wood. Hrmmms.)

♥JENNY♥

(Did you hear he called Jared "Jay" at the con? Oh, yes. My life will be complete if Jared ever calls Jensen "Jenny" in public. *evilest hands*)

[jolielaide.livejournal.com]

hahaha, i know, right?

i think it's probably one of those fashion malas, not a real one but a knockoff, which might explain the lack of tassel?

the degree of analysis i am offering here is a little frightening, no?

[traveller.livejournal.com]

the degree to which I care is frightening in proportion to your analysis. oh, the lolsanity. :D

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

BUT THIS IS RPF FANDOM, BEE. THIS IS WHAT WE DO.

this is our version of debating the precise mechanics of warp technology, okay?

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

i have seriously considered sending jared some form of letter that explains that some of jensen's fans refer to him as "jenny", because if he hasn't thought of it yet, it would catch on like WILDFIRE.

[jamesinboots.livejournal.com]

YES. EXACTLY. JARED WOULD HAVE A FRIGGING BALL WITH THAT NAME. \o/

[traveller.livejournal.com]

but I don't want to know for fiction. I want to know because I am grossly curious.

and curiously gross, but that's another topic.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

men know jewelry suddenly? :D

i would be totally okay with it being wood! i have nothing against wood! it just looks a little green in places. but the general consensus seems to be that it's wood, so.

HMMMM.

[winterlive.livejournal.com]

now THAT is a fine point!
