{"product_id":"purple-goldstone-cinnabar-mantra-bracelet","title":"Purple Goldstone Cinnabar Mantra Bracelet — Om Mani Padme Hum Woven Red Rope","description":"\u003cp\u003eThe six-syllable mantra Om Mani Padme Hum is among the most recited phrases in Tibetan Buddhism. Monks carve it into stone. Pilgrims spin it on prayer wheels. The tradition holds that speaking or wearing these syllables keeps the mind oriented — away from distraction, toward clarity. This bracelet carries the full mantra engraved on the barrel beads.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eTwo Materials, One Reason Each\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003ePurple goldstone is a man-made glass, developed in Venice sometime in the 17th century. Glassmakers added copper crystals to a molten base and got something that sparkles like a night sky. It has no natural origin — but it has a real history, and the deep violet with metallic flash is distinct in a way plain stone rarely is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eCinnabar is a mercury sulfide mineral, deep red, historically used across China as a pigment and carving material for centuries. The red color in this bracelet comes from cinnabar resin, which keeps the warmth of the original material without the weight. Red has long been the color worn for protection in Chinese and Tibetan tradition.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eThe Red Cord Is the Oldest Part\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eRed rope bracelets predate Buddhism in China by centuries. The cord was tied on a child's wrist to ward off illness, or given between people as a bond. In Tibetan practice, monks bless the cord before it leaves their hands. The knot style at the clasp is functional — it holds, and it adjusts to fit different wrists without a metal clasp getting in the way.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch2\u003eCare\u003c\/h2\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eWipe beads with a soft dry cloth. Avoid prolonged water exposure and keep away from perfume. The red cord will darken gradually with wear — that is normal. Remove before swimming.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Buddha Tibet","offers":[{"title":"Wine Red — Mantra Barrel Beads with Gold Spacers","offer_id":49457009557642,"sku":null,"price":25.99,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0705\/5268\/2634\/files\/9446a3774fed7df5c3b0c8730383e9b2.jpg?v=1779808151","url":"https:\/\/www.buddhatibet.com\/products\/purple-goldstone-cinnabar-mantra-bracelet","provider":"Buddha Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
