8MM Red Jade Bead Bracelet

The first of a few red jade designs created for the 2023 (and beyond!) Lunar New Year! There's something so lovely about the simplicity of clear, rich red jade on its own. Red jade is a type of jadeite - one of two minerals that are considered true jade (the other being nephrite). Considered the "warrior's stone" and connected to the root chakra, it is associated with power and fearlessness, stimulating chi and bringing forth vitality and passion. Like other jade, it is also associated with prosperity, though less than green jade. It helps with self-doubt and indecisiveness, encouraging action, especially to overcome difficult circumstances or breaking bad habits. In Chinese tradition, red jade is associated with life force, energy, and luck. Beads are 8mm.
