108-Bead Lignum Vitae 'Tree of Life' Juzu Bracelet with Rose Quartz

A 108-bead juzu strand of lignum vitae — Latin for 'the wood of life,' and known in Japan as ryokutan, the 'green sandalwood.' Long prized as a folk remedy across cultures.Among the hardest woods in the world, lignum vitae develops a stone-like sheen with use and gradually shifts from a calm green to a deep, reddish-brown patina — a slow, quiet record of time. Rose quartz, the soft pink stone associated with gentleness and warmth, accents the strand and balances the wood's stillness.The 108-bead format is the traditional Kyoto juzu strand length — wrap it several times around the wrist for a layered bracelet, or wear it long as a single-strand necklace. Hand-finished by a master Kyoto juzu artisan on quadruple silicone cord for easy on-off.A versatile, gender-neutral heritage piece — for daily wear, for centering practice, or as a quietly significant gift.Material: Main beads: Lignum vitae (green sandalwood / ryokutan) · Accent: Rose quartz · Cord: Polyurethane elasticSize: 108-bead strand, inner ø 16–17 cm when wrapped (≈ 6.3–6.7 in) · Weight: 16 g (0.04 lb)Origin: Shimogyo-ku, Kyoto, Japan.
