The stones

Material	What it is	Disclosures
Cinnabar (朱砂)	Deep-red cinnabar-bearing mineral composite: cinnabar crystal set in a resin binder, the form used for carved Chinese ornaments for decades.	Composite, not solid crystal — many shops omit this; we do not. Tone deepens slightly with wear. Intended for wear only; not for ingestion; keep from small children.
Black Obsidian	Natural volcanic glass, polished round beads.	May contain natural snowflake-like crystallite specks. Glassy edges are polished smooth.
Tiger Eye	Natural banded quartz with golden chatoyant banding.	Band pattern varies strongly bead to bead — the characteristic, not a flaw.
God beads & talisman	Gold-foil engraved deity beads in five element colours; gold-tone alloy talisman on the Zodiac strand.	Alloy components may tone over time; keep dry to slow it.
Cord	Multi-strand elastic jewellery cord, double-knotted.	Roll on and off rather than stretching wide; avoid perfume contact.

Size your wrist in 30 seconds

1. Cut a thin strip of paper about 30 cm long.
2. Wrap it snugly (not tight) around your wrist and mark where it meets.
3. Measure the strip against a ruler — that is your wrist circumference.

Wrist	Recommended
14–15 cm (5.5–5.9”)	8 mm beads, or 10 mm for a looser sit
15–17 cm (5.9–6.7”)	10 mm — the everyday classic
17 cm+ (6.7”+)	12 mm, or ask us — we can restring to size

All strands are approx. 16 cm unstretched on elastic and fit most wrists. Between sizes or unsure? Write to us — a restring is cheap and we would rather you wear it.

Care

• Keep away from prolonged water, pools and perfume; wipe with a soft dry cloth after wear.
• Remove before sleep, sport and showers — elastic lasts years longer this way.
• Store flat, out of direct sun; tiger eye and cinnabar colours hold best in the dark.
