It is a beaded bracelet strung from round cinnabar beads in a deep traditional red, along with five colored accent beads in green, clear, black, red and amber. Each of those five carries a gold toned figure, the traditional Five Gods of Wealth design, and the Pixiu versions add a carved cinnabar figure of the guardian beast.

The strand is made up of round cinnabar beads together with the five colored figure beads spaced together as the focal detail. On the Pixiu versions a carved cinnabar Pixiu figure joins the strand. The beads sit balanced around the wrist and slip over the hand to put on.

Beads come in three sizes, 8mm, 10mm and 12mm, so you can pick a slimmer or a bolder strand. You can choose the plain Five Gods of Wealth design or a version set with a carved cinnabar Pixiu figure, so the piece suits your style or makes a thoughtful piece to give.

The new Chinese styling reads unisex, so it is made for both men and women. The smaller 8mm and 10mm sizes suit a slimmer wrist, while the 12mm beads are often chosen for a wider wrist or a bolder look. It is easy to wear yourself or to give as a thoughtful present.

The beads are strung so the bracelet slips over the hand and settles on the wrist, with nothing to fasten. That makes it quick to put on and take off. Pick the bead size that suits your wrist, 8mm and 10mm for a slimmer fit or 12mm for a bolder one, and the strand sits comfortably around it.

Wipe the cinnabar beads now and then with a soft dry cloth to lift any film and bring back the warm gloss. Keep the bracelet away from perfume, lotion and harsh cleaners, since that keeps the deep red even and the gold toned figures on the five beads crisp over time.

The five colored beads carry the traditional Five Gods of Wealth figures in a gold toned engraving, a classic motif in new Chinese style jewelry. They are a decorative cultural design that gives the strand its name and its focal point, set among the deep red cinnabar beads so the colors and the gold detail stand out.

It does. The design reads clearly, the styling suits both men and women, and the three bead sizes cover a range of wrists, so it is easy to match to the person. With its deep red cinnabar beads and the Pixiu option, it makes a thoughtful present for a new year, a new venture or a milestone.
