Meaning & tradition
Explore the Pixiu's place in Chinese tradition alongside the meanings traditionally associated with the stones and cord.

Reflections trace the raised edges against an otherwise inky surface.

Light passes through the pink stone, revealing scattered red flecks within it.

Curving grooves outline the face and body, giving the small figure an intricate profile.

Closely packed loops give the band a ribbed texture, distinct from the smooth stones.

This stretchy beaded bracelet with hematite, onyx, and tiger eye is absolutely beautiful and very well made. The stones have a nice weight and polish to them, and the elastic feels sturdy and durable. It fits perfectly on my larger 8-inch wrist, so it should work well for both men and women. I’m very happy with the quality and look of this bracelet, definitely recommend.

This bracelet is well made and a beautiful mix of colors that could match a variety of attire for both men and women. The bracelet has good stretch, but strong and sturdy built. My wrists are on the bigger side of average for a woman and this fits fine and not overly tight or stretched. It is comfortable to wear and easy to take on and off.
