¥5,000.00
Fortune takes form in the Cinnabar & Gold Gourd Charm Bracelet — a bracelet where the ancient protective power of cinnabar meets one of Chinese culture’s most beloved auspicious symbols: the gourd. Deep burgundy cinnabar beads circle the wrist with quiet authority, anchored by a carved cinnabar plum blossom bead and a dazzling diamond-set gold gourd pendant that catches light with every movement.
Design & Craftsmanship
- Cinnabar Beads: Large, richly saturated deep red cinnabar beads — smooth, weighty, and grounding
- Carved Cinnabar Plum Blossom Bead: A sculpted cinnabar bead in the form of a plum blossom (梅花) — delicate floral relief carved from the same vibrant vermilion material, adding dimensional texture to the bracelet
- Diamond-Set Gold Gourd Pendant: The centerpiece — a polished gold gourd charm encircled by pavé-set white crystals, suspended from a gold bail. Luminous, festive, and unmistakably auspicious
- Form: Round elastic stretch bracelet with pendant drop — the gourd swings freely, adding movement and a celebratory energy to every gesture
Cultural Significance
- The Gourd (葫芦 Hú Lu): Among the most powerful auspicious symbols in Chinese folk tradition — its double-chamber form is believed to absorb and contain negative energies while attracting blessings of health, wealth, and longevity. Hung or worn, the gourd is a guardian of the household and the self
- Plum Blossom (梅花): Symbol of resilience, renewal, and noble character in Chinese culture — blooming in the coldest season, it represents perseverance through adversity and the arrival of spring fortune
- Cinnabar (朱砂): The bracelet’s foundation stone — pure Yang energy, protection, and vitality concentrated in every bead
Wear your blessings. The gourd holds fortune; the cinnabar guards it; the plum blossom announces its arrival.
