Rose Quartz Hulu Bracelet

Rose quartz with a small gold hulu (葫芦) charm.

Rose quartz is the stone of the open heart, the love offered to others and the gentler kind offered to yourself. Its pale pink deepens in the light and softens again in shade, which is much how the stone has been understood, as a steady warmth rather than a flare.

The hulu, the calabash gourd, is one of the oldest charms in Chinese feng shui, carried for wellbeing and for keeping harm at a distance, its narrow neck said to take in what is unwanted and hold it. Here it hangs small and gold beside the beads, a quiet guardian on a soft bracelet.

For anyone learning to be kinder to themselves and wanting something gentle to remind them.
