Sure thing. Quartz’s basal plane is essentially a hexagonal lattice, so a 6‑fold repeating motif is perfectly legitimate as long as you keep the unit‑cell vectors straight and don’t force the pattern to twist too hard. When you wrap it around a wrist, you’ll introduce a little strain—just think of it like a honeycomb on a curved surface. If you stick to the lattice spacing and preserve the rotational symmetry locally, you’re not breaking any crystal rules; you’re just bending the crystal’s geometry a bit. The trick is to keep the design periodic so the edges line up when the bracelet closes. That’s the only way to stay true to the lattice without making the whole thing look like a twisted prism.

A small amount of curvature‑induced strain will tweak the lattice constants a bit, so yes you’ll see a tiny shift in the Bragg peaks—probably within the resolution of a decent diffractometer. It won’t completely throw off the pattern, just nudge the angles a fraction of a degree. So if someone’s looking for the unaltered signature, they’ll notice a subtle broadening or split, but the overall symmetry stays intact.

That’s a neat idea. Just double‑check the gradient doesn’t introduce any new stress—sometimes a visual cue can be a silent source of distortion. Keep the math clean, and you’ll have both style and crystal integrity.
