Water Element Obsidian Bracelet
If Water is one of your supportive elements, this bracelet offers a wearable way to carry the Water correspondence through natural obsidian, Water over Water engraving, and the Xuanwu motif.
Natural Obsidian
Black is traditionally associated with the Water element. Natural obsidian gives this bracelet a deep, still, and protective appearance, making the material itself part of the Water correspondence.
Front Engraving: Water over Water
The front bead is engraved with Hexagram 29 · Kan 坎, traditionally known as Water over Water.
This hexagram is formed by the upper trigram ☵ and the lower trigram ☵. ☵ is known in Chinese as 坎, pronounced Kan. Its natural image is Water.
In the Bagua Five Elements correspondence, ☵ Kan is associated with Water. Since both the upper and lower trigrams are ☵ Kan, this hexagram carries a clear Water correspondence.
Back Engraving: Xuanwu
The back bead features Xuanwu (玄武). Also translated as the Black Tortoise, Xuanwu is a turtle-snake guardian beast associated with the North, Winter, and the Water element in traditional Chinese cosmology.
A Wearable Expression of Water
Together, natural obsidian, Water over Water, and the Xuanwu motif form a wearable expression of Water — deep, still, adaptable, and quietly protective.
Three Bead Sizes Available
This bracelet is available in three bead sizes: 6mm, 8mm, and 10mm.
