This charming handcrafted bracelet features a collection of cute, individually carved double-gourd beads, traditionally known as Hulu (葫芦), made from natural Xinjiang Hetian green nephrite jade (碧玉).
Each little gourd has a delightfully plump, rounded shape, giving the bracelet a playful and endearing character. The jade displays a rich, earthy moss-green colour with a deep, substantial appearance, complemented by a beautifully smooth texture and soft, oily lustre.
A particularly appealing quality of this Xinjiang nephrite is its dense, silky character. Rather than appearing bright or glassy, the jade has a gentle, waxy glow and a wonderfully smooth, comfortable feel. Each gourd is carefully polished, bringing out the natural richness and warmth of the stone.
Scattered dark mineral inclusions and subtle variations in green colour are visible throughout the jade. These naturally occurring features are part of the stone’s mineral composition, giving each little gourd its own distinctive character.
The Hulu (葫芦) – A Symbol of Good Fortune
In Chinese culture, the Hulu, or double gourd, is a beloved auspicious symbol. Its pronunciation resembles Fu Lu (福禄), representing blessings, prosperity, and good fortune.
Traditionally, gourds are also associated with well-being, protection, and longevity.
The repeated little gourds bring together a charming, playful design and meaningful traditional symbolism, making this bracelet both delightful to wear and rich in cultural significance.
Thoughtfully Hand-Braided
Each jade gourd is individually secured with a carefully tied knot, creating a flexible and comfortable arrangement while allowing every carved piece to stand out.
The deep brown braided cord beautifully complements the natural moss-green jade. An adjustable sliding-knot closure allows the bracelet to accommodate different wrist sizes, while small decorative beads finish the cord ends.
The combination of rounded jade gourds, natural mineral patterns, and patient hand craftsmanship gives this bracelet a warm, organic character.
A charming piece of natural Xinjiang nephrite jade jewelry, designed to be appreciated for its silky touch, adorable gourd shapes, and traditional symbolism of good fortune.
