Plum Black Lacquer Beaded Bracelet

Plum Black, Cinnabar Body, Tree Lacquer

Eighteen round beads on a stretch cord. Each bead is built on a cinnabar body and finished in natural tree-lacquer sap. The coat is plum black — deep purple-black with gold crackle, not a painted bead. Chinese lacquer you wear on the wrist.

Materials & Construction

• Natural tree-lacquer sap: Pure Chinese raw lacquer — tree sap, layered and cured. Not paint or resin.
• Cinnabar body: The core of each bead is a traditional cinnabar (vermilion) body, then sealed under the lacquer coats. Craft construction, not a carved cinnabar gemstone.
• Plum black: Deep purple-black with gold crackle and iridescent flecks. Each bead a little different.
• Beads: Eighteen round beads, about 12mm, hand-strung on elastic. No clasp.
• Weight: 28.3g.

Styling Notes

Wear it alone, or stacked with a thin gold bangle. The plum reads as lacquer, not costume plastic.
