I'm one person, not a brand.
My name is Shaowei. I cast the beads, string them, check them, and pack them in Shaoguan, a small city in Guangdong, China. There is no marketing department behind this page and nobody to forward your email to. If you write to me, I answer.
I started in 2024 with one decision: 20 mm. At the time my market was making 8, 10, maybe 12 mm beads — safe sizes, easy to sell. I wanted the opposite. A 20 mm bead takes up room on the wrist. Twelve of them make something you notice from across a room. Nobody was making that size, which is exactly why I did.
It worked faster than I expected. Within a year I was shipping 800–900 bracelets a month, and the pieces over ¥100 were moving 10–20 a day. No ads. No promotions. Just a product people hadn't seen before.
Then the copies came. Same photographs, scraped from my listings. Lower prices. Sold on the same platform, sometimes under my own images.
When the only question a buyer asks is "who is cheaper", the person who made the thing first always loses.
I could have joined that race. I'd rather not.
So I started again, here, on my own site. Same 20 mm. Same twelve beads. Same one size, because I'd rather make one thing properly than forty things adequately. Every strand is still cast in small batches, still strung by hand, still double-knotted and stretched on a form before it goes near a box. I check the beads myself with a caliper. That is the entire quality control department. The only thing that varies is the finish — five of them, all cast from the same 20 mm mould, so nothing about the fit or the weight changes when you pick a colour.
And every bracelet leaves with a card I wrote. Not a care label — a short blessing, the kind you would say out loud if you were standing there: laughter every day, calm when you need it, joy that stays. Because a gift has to be able to say something at the moment you hand it over and can't find the words. The box is solid wood, so it outlives the bracelet and ends up as a tray for rings. The card stays inside it.
I'm not the cheapest bracelet you'll find. I'm the one made by someone who is still here, still answering his own email.
