{"product_id":"red-string-jade-fortune-knot-bracelet","title":"Red String Jade Fortune Knot Bracelet","description":"\u003ch3\u003eA Knot Older Than the Word for It\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe Chinese knot is one of the oldest continuous crafts in the world — a single length of cord, looped and pulled into a symmetrical form, with no beginning and no end. The fortune knot (福字结) is one of its most familiar shapes, traditionally tied to wish someone well: safe travels, a good year, a lucky start.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThis bracelet uses that same logic. One cord, one bead, one knot. Nothing extra. The red version is the most traditional — the color tied to celebration and protection in Chinese custom — but the cord itself carries the meaning more than the shade does.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eThe Red Thread\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn Chinese folklore there is an old idea called the red thread of fate (红线): an invisible cord said to connect people who are meant to find each other, no matter the distance or the time. It is not a promise and not a spell. It is a way of saying that some connections feel like they were always there.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePeople wear a red cord on the wrist for different reasons. For some it is a wish for protection. For others it is a reminder of someone far away. For many it is simply a habit — something to touch when the day feels unsteady. The meaning is yours to assign.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Jade\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eJade (和田玉) has been valued in China for over five thousand years — longer than almost any other material. Unlike flashier stones, jade is prized for the opposite quality: it is quiet, cool to the touch, and grows warmer the longer it sits against the skin.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eTraditionally jade is associated with steadiness and long-term good fortune — not sudden luck, but the kind that builds slowly. The 8mm bead on this bracelet is a natural hetian jade, polished to a soft luster. Each bead has its own subtle variations in tone and translucency. That is not a flaw. That is the stone.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eItem Type:\u003c\/strong\u003e Braided bracelet\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waxed cord, natural hetian jade bead\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eJade Bead:\u003c\/strong\u003e 8 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCord Width:\u003c\/strong\u003e 3 mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWrist Size:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–22 cm (adjustable slip-knot closure)\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eBracelet Length:\u003c\/strong\u003e 14–24 cm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eStyle:\u003c\/strong\u003e Unisex, sold individually\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eCord Colors:\u003c\/strong\u003e Red \/ Brown \u003cbr\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eWeight:\u003c\/strong\u003e approx. 6 g\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout the Fit\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe bracelet closes with an adjustable slip knot. Pull the two ends of the cord to tighten; pull the sides to loosen. It is designed to fit wrists from 14 cm to 22 cm, which covers most adults. If you are buying as a couple, one size fits both.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eAbout Natural Variance\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eEach jade bead is cut from natural stone, so tone, translucency, and surface character vary slightly from the photographs. Lighter and darker areas within the bead are normal. Red cord may deepen slightly in color with wear. These are properties of the materials, not defects.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eWearing \u0026amp; Care\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRemove before showering, swimming, or sleeping. Jade is a hard stone, but the cord is waxed cotton and will degrade with prolonged water exposure.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe the jade bead with a soft dry cloth. Keep away from perfume, chlorine, and prolonged direct sunlight.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eShipping Policy\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eFree tracked U.S. shipping on orders over $35.
