🌈Wearing gemstone bracelets on both hands – should you or should you avoid it?

This is one of the most common questions we receive from our lovely Mountain Jade family! Many wonder — “Is wearing gemstone bracelets on both wrists really forbidden?” or “Is it just an old belief passed down through tradition?”

Let’s explore both the wisdom of the past and the balance of modern energy practice ✨

 

🚫 Traditional Belief: The “Number 8 Handcuff” Taboo

According to old folklore, wearing bracelets on both wrists can resemble a pair of handcuffs — a symbol of restriction, confinement, or limited fortune.

It’s said that this “locked” image may unintentionally bind your good luck, attract stagnant or negative energy, or even invite unnecessary obstacles into your life. That’s why, in the past, many people chose to wear a bracelet on only one wrist — as a way to keep their energy flow open and free.

But as with many ancient beliefs, it’s always worth remembering: every symbol holds the meaning we give it.

 

✅ Modern View – Style Meets Energy

Today, times (and energies) have changed 🌿

Modern wearers see gemstone bracelets not just as spiritual tools, but also as expressions of personal style, intention, and confidence.

Wearing bracelets on both wrists can actually:

• Bring harmony and balance to your outfit and aura.
  
• Express your individuality — especially when you mix and match stones that complement each other.
  
• Amplify positive energy when worn with love, joy, and intention.
  

Because truly — when your heart feels good, the energy around you will always flow beautifully. 🌈

So, rather than following “rules” with fear, let your intuition lead with confidence and ease.

 

💡 A Balanced Approach – “Left In, Right Out” Principle

If you enjoy honoring traditional energy flow and want to wear your gemstone bracelets in a mindful way, this simple practice—followed in many cultures—may resonate with you:

✨ Left Hand (Receiving Hand)

The left side is believed to be more receptive, drawing in energy from the world around you.

You can wear stones here that invite abundance, love, vitality, and harmony, such as:

• Rutilated Quartz – for abundance and mental clarity
• Jadeite Jade – for luck, peace, and gentle protection

This hand is ideal when you're entering situations where you want to attract supportive energy: meetings, contract signings, or new beginnings.

✨ Right Hand (Releasing Hand)

The right hand is associated with giving, directing, and releasing energy outward.

Bracelets placed here are often stones that protect, ground, or help clear negativity, such as:

• Black Obsidian – for grounding and strong energetic protection
• Amber – for cleansing and soothing emotional energy

This setup works beautifully in busy or intense environments like workplaces, hospitals, or events.

And Remember…

At the end of the day, energy flows where your intention goes.

So whether you wear bracelets on the left, right, or both hands — what matters most is that you feel comfortable, natural, and supported in your daily life. Your personal harmony is the true source of good energy. 🌿✨

🌸 A Gentle Reminder from Mountain Jade

Avoid overloading your wrists with too many bracelets — both physically and energetically. Your Jewellery should feel like an extension of you: natural, light, and harmonious.

Because more than any gemstone, your belief, peace of mind, and loving energy are the greatest sources of protection and fortune you carry every day. 💖

✨ So whether you wear one, two, or ten — wear them with joy, with purpose, and with heart.
That’s when your gems truly shine their brightest. 🌿
