Xuangui keeps the line of the bracelet simple, allowing tiger's eye and its focal hardware to hold equal attention.
Product Details
The Wearing Experience
Smooth tiger's eye edges and natural variation make the stone comfortable to handle, while its color and markings provide the strongest visual detail.
Because the bracelet flexes, the tiger's eye elements shift slightly with movement instead of holding a rigid circle.
Xuangui and the Design
Xuangui is an aquatic creature with a turtle's body, a bird's head, and a snake's tail. Wearing it is said to prevent deafness and help against calluses.
The link to Xuangui sits in the composition, not in a figurine. The image of a turtle with unfamiliar features that makes a known form strange again is carried by proportion, surface and the way the eye moves toward the center.

Care
For this tiger's eye bracelet, avoid prolonged contact with water, perfume, lotions and household cleaners. Remove before showering, swimming or exercise, wipe with a soft, dry cloth after wear and keep it in a separate dry pouch to protect the stone and plated details.
Jewelry is experienced not only by sight. The weight of a bead, the cool surface of stone, and the warmth wood gathers from the skin are all part of the piece.
A Jambhala piece is designed to be worn often and touched naturally, keeping its symbol—and the meaning you chose—close at hand.
We choose natural materials for their character, not for perfect uniformity. Grain, color, pattern, and surface will vary from one piece to another.
With wear, wood may deepen in tone, metal finishes may soften, and surfaces may take on subtle traces of touch. These natural changes are part of living with the piece.
Every Jambhala piece begins with a meaning drawn from an old story. You may choose it for that meaning, for a memory of your own, or simply because you want to wear it. With time and wear, the piece becomes personal.
