Designed with vintage red "white heart" glass beads, each bracelet reflects a rich history. Made in Venice, Italy from the 1600s to the early 1900s, the beads were traded globally, becoming especially significant in Indigenous North American and African cultures.
In many traditions, red represents energy, passion, blessings, and protection. Red bracelets are often worn for good fortune and to invite positive energy.
Each bracelet has been mindfully crafted on durable elastic cord and dedicated with the traditional Buddhist Metta (loving-kindness) phrases: "May you be safe. May you be happy. May you be healthy. May you live with ease."
At the close of Buddhist retreats, red cords are tied on to signify spiritual blessings and to remind practitioners of their connection to wisdom and compassion.
Handle with care—overstretching might just give you an unexpected lesson in impermanence!
