Tips about how to wear Chinese beaded bracelets

In ancient China, it was believed that the wrist was a vital channel for energy flow, offering protection and warding off evil spirits.

Here are some tips on wearing 手串 (Chinese beaded bracelets) based on Chinese tradition:

  • Left Hand: The left hand attracts energy. It is recommended to wear bracelets made of materials such as Star Moon Bodhi, jade, agate, wood, etc.
  • Right Hand: The right hand is believed to ward off bad luck. For this hand, materials like cinnabar, aquamarine, and turquoise are suggested.
  • Occasions: Wear bracelets for formal and celebratory events such as exams, weddings, and banquets. For the right hand, it’s best to avoid places with heavy or chaotic energy, such as bars, hospitals, or deep forests.
  • Quantity: Limit the number of bracelets to a maximum of three on the left hand and two on the right.
  • Personal Energy: Your bracelet carries a unique magnetic field, We do not recommend that you casually share your bracelet with others for them to wear.
  • Care: Keep wooden bracelets away from water, and avoid exposing organic stones like amber and South Red Agate to fire.
