Cinnabar & Carnelian Cat’s Eye Bracelet (朱砂南红猫眼手串)
¥5,000.00
Subtle in composition, powerful in meaning — the Cinnabar & Carnelian Cat’s Eye Bracelet brings together three stones of distinct character: the grounding depth of cinnabar, the warm vitality of carnelian, and the ethereal luminosity of cat’s eye. Two focal beads — one deep carnelian red, one silken white cat’s eye — sit side by side at the heart of the bracelet, creating a quiet yet striking point of contrast.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Cinnabar Beads: Deep burgundy-red cinnabar beads, uniformly polished and richly saturated — the structural foundation and energetic core of the bracelet
- Carnelian Accent Bead: A vivid blood-orange carnelian (南红玛瑙) bead — warm, glowing, and deeply auspicious in Eastern tradition
- Cat’s Eye Accent Bead: A smooth white cat’s eye stone bead with a silky, opaque luminosity — cool and serene against the warmth of cinnabar and carnelian
- Form: Round elastic stretch bracelet — clean silhouette with a single focal pairing that rewards a closer look
Cultural Significance
- Cinnabar (朱砂): The foundational stone of Yang energy in Chinese spiritual tradition — protective, vitalizing, and deeply rooted in Taoist and folk belief
- Carnelian / Nanhong (南红玛瑙): One of the most prized gemstones in Chinese collecting culture — its fiery orange-red tone is believed to dispel worry, attract good fortune, and strengthen one’s life force
- Cat’s Eye (猫眼石): Associated in Eastern tradition with clarity of vision, intuition, and protection from unseen forces — its shifting optical phenomenon symbolizes awareness and inner light
Three stones, one intention — protection, vitality, and clarity, woven into a bracelet that speaks softly and means deeply.
