Embrace the spiritual legacy of the ancient Silk Road with our Silk Road Five-Color Knot Bracelet—a symbol of protection, blessings nd luck inspired by Xi’an, the eastern anchor of the Silk Road and home to Buddhist landmarks like the Giant Wild Goose Pagoda.

Xi’an, where Xuanzang embarked on his Buddhist pilgrimage to the West and Zhang Qian launched expeditions that forged the Silk Road, is a realm of spiritual and cultural convergence. This bracelet draws from the Five-Color Knot tradition—an emblem of luck and protection in Eastern Buddhism, carried along Silk Road routes as a talisman for travelers and traders.

Five-Color Braided Cord: In Eastern metaphysics, the five colors (red, yellow, blue, green, purple) correspond to the five elements and Buddhist blessings. They symbolize protection from negative energy, just as the Silk Road safeguarded the flow of wisdom and prosperity.

Traditional Knot Design: The intricate knotwork is a nod to ancient Silk Road craftsmanship, representing unity, resilience, and the interconnectedness of cultures—echoing the trade and spiritual exchange that thrived in Xi’an.

Wear this bracelet as a link to Xi’an’s heritage as a crossroads of spirituality and commerce. Let it channel the wisdom of Xuanzang’s journeys, the unity of Silk Road cultures, and the protective power of the five-color knot. This bracelet is not only an accessory, but also a symbol of protection, blessings, and luck.
