Chicken blood vine bracelets have many benefits, such as promoting circulation, relieving rheumatism, alleviating joint pain, and improving overall blood flow and energy. However, these effects can only be achieved with natural chicken blood vine bracelets. So, what makes a natural chicken blood vine bracelet?
【Are Bracelets with Nodes or without Nodes Better】
Those who like chicken blood vine bracelets should understand their meaning and significance. Therefore, the answer to whether bracelets with nodes or without nodes are better is that bracelets with nodes are better. Many sellers often cut off the nodes of the vine because they are too large, making the bracelets more suitable in size. However, without the nodes, the bracelets lose their original meaning and therefore have less value.
Many people are only familiar with bracelets without nodes and with nodes, but there is also a rarer type called multi-node vine. Among them, the six-node vine is the most precious.
【What Makes a Valuable Chicken Blood Vine Bracelet】
1. Origin: The bracelet must be made from chicken blood vine from Shannan, Tibet. While there are chicken blood vines from other places, their medicinal effects are not as potent as those from Shannan.
2. Diameter: Most chicken blood vine bracelets have a diameter of 4-5 millimeters. The thicker the bracelet, the more expensive it is. Bracelets with a diameter exceeding 6 millimeters are even rarer and more valuable, with the "King of Vines" measuring 8-10 millimeters being particularly precious and expensive.
3. Color: The vines, after being dug out from the mountains, undergo a roasting process that creates various colors, such as wine red, deep red, brown, beige, dark gray, and bi-color combinations. Wine red is generally considered the most desirable color, and the more uniform the color, the higher the price.
4. Nodes: Bracelets with two or three nodes are rarer and thus more expensive.
5. Yin-Yang Nature: There are two types of chicken blood vine bracelets: yin-yang vine and fully yin vine. The latter is extremely rare and thus more expensive.
【What Makes a Good Chicken Blood Vine Bracelet】
1. The surface should be intact without any cracks.
2. The thickness can vary according to personal preference, but generally, the thicker the bracelet, the more expensive it is.
3. The presence of nodes is important. Some bracelets may lack nodes, which can make them prone to splitting.
4. No fold marks. Darkening from burning and wrinkles on the inner ring are normal.
5. The bracelet should have a good level of fullness and shine.
6. The bracelet should be at least curved.
【How to Choose a Chicken Blood Vine Bracelet】
1. Skin: The quality of the vine depends on its skin. The best ones have a deep wine red or black grape color, which makes them easier to maintain and gives them a shiny appearance. Some may argue that black vines are the best, but they are extremely rare. Yellow vines and fully yin vines are less desirable, but personal preferences may vary.
2. Yin Skin: Many people underestimate the beauty of yin vines. However, if I told you that yin vines become more beautiful than red vines when worn for a long time, would you believe me? The process is just very long, and many vine sellers may not be aware of it. It takes more than a year of wearing for the yin skin to wear off and reveal the red color underneath. Our sweat and oil help maintain the color, and an outer layer of yin skin protects it. The resulting color is incomparable, but it does take some time for the yin skin to wear off completely.
3. Nodes: As the saying goes, "Every node is a blessing," so the vine should definitely have nodes.
