Golden Tiger Eye Gourd Bracelet
Genuine golden tiger eye with strong cat's-eye chatoyancy, finished with a small carved gourd (hulu) on a knotted cord. A grounded, masculine piece — tiger eye is traditionally worn for courage and protection, and the gourd is China's classic emblem of blessings gathered and kept.
The Golden Tiger Eye Gourd Bracelet strings deep amber beads that flash a moving band of light as the wrist turns — the chatoyancy that gives tiger eye its name. It reads rich and understated at once, equally at home with a rolled cuff or a gym bag.
The little gourd charm is no accident: in Chinese tradition the hulu's narrow mouth and full belly are said to draw in good fortune and hold it. Each bracelet is hand-strung to order and ships in our signature gift box with a meaning card.
Tiger eye is one of the classic protection stones of the crystal tradition — associated with steady courage, focus and keeping one's nerve under pressure.
In the five-element reading its warm golden-brown belongs to earth: stability, patience, and strength that doesn't announce itself.
The gourd (hulu) has hung in Chinese doorways for a thousand years to gather blessings. Worn at the wrist, it makes this a traditional gift for men stepping into responsibility — a new job, a new family, a new venture.
