Do different types of jade bracelets have different functions? Let’s take a look together!

Jade bracelets are easy to wear, and wearing the right ones can also bring out unique charm. So what types of jade bracelets are there? What is the purpose of wearing a jade bracelet on the wrist?

There are many types of jade bracelets. In terms of their usage, they can usually be divided into three types. Below, Lao Wang will tell you about these types and their different functions.

1. Hanging beads

Buddhist beads hanging around the neck. Hanging beads are mostly made of precious materials such as jade, crystal, agate, coral, beeswax, turquoise, etc. The color of the beads must be uniform. They must be made of good materials with little color variation, and must be warm, delicate, smooth and crystal clear.

At the same time, the diameter of the beads is required to be around one centimeter, and no large error is allowed. When strung together, a spacer bead is embedded between every twenty-seven beads, and below the mother bead there is also a "Buddha head tassel" made of an exquisitely woven Chinese knot and pendants such as jade and jadeite.

During important Buddhist ceremonies or when great monks are worshiping Buddha and lighting incense, this "Buddha head tassel" can play a certain balancing role, thus ensuring the solemnity of the demeanor throughout the entire Buddhist activity.

2. Pendant beads: Pendant beads, commonly known as bracelets, are jade Buddhist beads worn on the wrist or arm. The ones with eighteen beads are the most common. 3. Holding beads: Jade Buddhist beads that are pinched or chanted by hand. The beads are mostly used to record the number of times the Buddha's name or mantra is recited.

With the development of the times, the Buddhist meaning of jade bracelets has become increasingly diluted, people's aesthetic tastes have changed, and jade bracelets have also changed. The number of beads strung mainly depends on the size of the beads. It has become a matter of strung as many beads as you want, and there are basically no spacer beads. Many people like jade bracelets, but fewer people wear jade bracelets. In fact, many times it is because the quality of the beads is too difficult to judge. Really good jade beads take a lot of time and material to carve, so they are expensive. Most of them on the market are made from leftover scraps.

The raw material cost of beads made from cheap scraps is very low. It is very rare to get a string of beads with excellent quality, color, and uniform beauty. So at this time we can also match the beads into colors according to our own preferences. Jade friends can also try it next time!
