Top-Grade Tourmaline, Rose, Cloisonné, Lucky Clover, Butterfly, 108 Bracelet, Prayer Beads, 4.2mm, Single Piece, Gift

**◈ A Word from the Designer** Natural tourmaline boasts a rich spectrum of colors, encompassing all seven hues, which is why its energy is believed to correspond to the body's various chakras. Most tourmalines exhibit pleochroism (displaying multiple colors within a single stone); pure single-colored stones are exceptionally rare, and those with vibrant colors and excellent clarity are even more so. This piece is meticulously designed, primarily featuring the rare pink and blue tourmalines, complemented by rose and golden tourmaline accents resembling emeralds, and intricately woven tassels. It is adorned with auspicious cloisonné charms (lucky clover, butterfly, tai chi, etc.), forming a beautifully crafted 108-bead bracelet. The gemstones are clear, lustrous, and possess vibrant, even color distribution with dazzling fire. When worn, it feels cool and smooth against the skin, radiating a powerful yet comfortable energy. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its owner.** **Tourmaline** Tourmaline, also known as the "rainbow gemstone," possesses extremely potent energy. Its vibrant, ever-changing colors and high transparency have made it beloved since ancient times. Tourmaline comes in a rich array of colors, covering all seven hues, thus its energy is thought to correspond to the body's various chakras. When selecting tourmaline, one should pay attention to its color and clarity. Most tourmalines exhibit pleochroism (multiple colors within a single stone); pure single-colored stones are very rare. **Cloisonné (Enamel)** Cloisonné, scientifically known as copper-chased enamel, originated in the ancient Near East. As early as the 19th century BC, ancient Egyptian pharaohs used it to craft necklaces, often in conjunction with gemstone inlays. The Eastern Roman Empire later elevated this craft to exceptional heights. It was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty and reached its zenith during the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, hence its name "Jingtai Lan" (Jingtai Blue). Exquisite cloisonné pieces are characterized by their lustrous and bright colors, substantial and solid bases, neat and uniform wirework, and brilliant gold plating. They embody the gentle warmth of jade, the radiance of gemstones, and the delicacy of porcelain. Consequently, the cloisonné craft is intricate and costly. **A New Concept for 108-Bead Bracelets** In traditional thinking, 108-bead bracelets are exclusively for Buddhist practitioners, but this notion is quite outdated! While 108-bead bracelets indeed originate from Buddhist scriptures and, due to their length, can be wrapped around the wrist several times or worn as a necklace, their materials, designs, and decorative uses have evolved with the times. They are now more fashionable, layered, and versatile, requiring designers to adapt to user preferences and create unique, customized pieces. Furthermore, **108 has never been exclusive to Buddhists. Even non-Buddhists can appreciate the auspicious meaning of 108 and its multi-layered styling potential.** We often share with our clients that a 108-bead bracelet is an external object. Whether we are Buddhist or not, chanting or praying is primarily an inner practice. We should **not be bound or hindered by material possessions**, nor should we be fixated on the material, number of beads, how they are arranged, or whether to wear them on the left or right hand. People should use prayer beads for convenience and freedom. As the "Diamond Sutra" states: "All phenomena are like dreams, illusions, bubbles, and shadows; like dew drops and lightning flashes. Thus, they should be contemplated." Bracelets and prayer beads are also phenomena, so one should not be overly concerned with them when using them. **Comfort should be the priority.** **The Origin of 108 Prayer Beads** 108 prayer beads represent 108 types of afflictions. Within the six senses—eyes, ears, nose, tongue, body, and mind—each experiences pleasure, pain, and indifference, leading to three feelings. Each of the six senses also has three states: good, bad, and neutral, totaling 18. Combined with the three times—past, present, and future—this amounts to 108. The 108 afflictions signify that sentient beings have 108 kinds of troubles, which can give rise to various negative actions. Therefore, these must be eradicated to achieve a state of tranquility. Wearing prayer beads serves as a constant reminder to cultivate the compassion of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, maintaining a calm and unhurried mindset in any environment. In Tibetan, prayer beads are called "changwa," meaning to remember, think of, or recall. It also signifies continuity. It represents the constant remembrance of gurus, yidams, dakinis, and dharma protectors; it also signifies their continuous remembrance of me, bestowing blessings and wisdom. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Tourmaline (Schorl), Enamel (Cloisonné), 18K Gold, 925 Silver Dimensions: **1.

Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (minor inclusions, internal fractures, cloudiness, mineral gaps, asymmetry, etc.). With frequent wear, you may observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often becoming more translucent and captivating—this is the best form of care. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral and amber) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. If soiled, avoid using detergents. Clean with plain water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also gently brush with a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for maintenance. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable, with a long lifespan. Avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when soiled, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water as appropriate, or use a suitable amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, store it properly in packaging to minimize air exposure, slow down oxidation and discoloration, and avoid stacking or pressing. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1.
