Beaded construction
Stone bead
Stone beads take the same construction as wood and change what it says. Volcanic rock, tiger eye, amethyst and turquoise each carry their own associations, and a property choosing one is making a design decision rather than a materials decision. The chip still lives in an inline medallion.

Supplied in these constructions
Bands carrying a transponder are encoded to the lock scheme your property already runs, before dispatch. All third-party marks are the property of their respective owners. Any reference indicates compatibility only and does not imply affiliation or endorsement.
Weight and temperature change the experience
Stone is several times the density of sealed timber, so the band has real presence on the wrist and settles rather than floats. It also stays cool to the touch in heat, which guests notice immediately in a tropical climate and which is part of why spa programmes gravitate to it. That same weight is why it is not a band for active water sports.
Choosing the stone deliberately
Matte volcanic rock reads contemporary and minimal. Tiger eye is warm and figured, with a chatoyant band that moves in light. Amethyst is unambiguously decorative. Turquoise is the most colour-forward and the most likely to clash with a fixed brand palette. Because every bead is cut from natural material, variation across a run is inherent — worth agreeing with the property before production rather than fielding afterwards.
The medallion and read consistency
As with wood, the electronics sit in one flat inline medallion, engraved or etched with the property mark. Stone is inert and does not interfere with the field, so read behaviour is governed by the medallion alone and stays consistent regardless of which stone is strung around it. An encoded sample is still read on the property reader before a run.
Honest limits
Beads chip if struck hard against tile or stone. There is no tamper evidence, and elastic construction means the band comes off intact. Cost per piece is the highest in the range. This is a gift, a member credential or a suite amenity, not general-issue access.
