Red Cord Bracelet with Hetian Jade Buckle

Red cord at the wrist, a pale jade buckle resting warm against the skin. The bracelet follows a Chinese style of dressing, where a knotted thread and a polished stone are worn as a quiet wish for good days ahead.

The jade is cut into the shape of a safety buckle and set beside an electroplated charm on the cord. Red thread against smooth stone makes an easy contrast, one that catches the eye without asking for attention. At 20 g it sits lightly, close to the wrist bone.

Wear it alone on a bare arm in summer, or pushed up against a stack of thin gold bands. It reads well with a linen shirt and a plain watch, and just as well with a silk sleeve at dinner. A considered gift for a friend, a sister or a mother, and an easy piece to buy for yourself.

The bracelet arrives as a single piece, wrapped in a small bag.
