I used to be the person who looked at spiritual jewelry and thought, “It’s pretty, but does it actually do anything?” I’ve always been interested in energy and the way our environment affects our mood, but for the longest time, I treated a feng shui bracelet like a simple fashion accessory. Then, about three years ago, I hit a bit of a rough patch. My career felt stagnant, my bank account was doing a disappearing act, and I just felt… heavy. You know that feeling when you’re working hard but running in place?
A friend of mine, who’s been practicing feng shui for decades, noticed I was stressed. She grabbed my wrist and said, “You’re leaking energy, and you’re not inviting anything new in.” She recommended I try wearing a Pixiu bracelet. I’ll be honest—I was skeptical. But I figured, what’s the worst that could happen? I’d have a cool new piece of jewelry. Fast forward to today, and I don’t feel right if I leave the house without one. It’s not magic, but it’s a powerful tool for shifting your mindset and your vibration.
It’s More Than Just Jewelry—It’s About Energy
If you’re new to this, you might be wondering what makes a feng shui bracelet different from a regular beaded bracelet you’d find at a mall. The difference lies in the intention and the materials. In feng shui, everything has a frequency. The stones, the symbols, and even the way you wear the piece all work together to align your personal energy with the energy of abundance.
Think of it like a tuning fork. When you’re stressed or worried about money, your “frequency” is out of whack. A well-crafted bracelet acts as a constant reminder and a literal weight on your wrist to stay grounded and open to opportunities. But you can’t just pick any random beads. You want something that resonates with what you actually need right now.
Meet Pixiu: The Wealth-Magnet You Need on Your Wrist
If you’ve looked into these bracelets at all, you’ve probably seen a little golden creature sitting on top of the beads. That’s Pixiu (or Pi Yao). In Chinese mythology, Pixiu is a celestial creature that craves the smell of gold and silver. The legend goes that he has a voracious appetite for wealth but no way to expel it—meaning he brings money in and keeps it there.
When I first started wearing a Pixiu bracelet, I noticed a shift in how I handled my finances. I wasn’t suddenly winning the lottery, but I was spotting opportunities I would have missed before. I felt more protective of my resources. If you’re looking for that specific “wealth-guarding” energy, obsidian is usually the go-to pairing for Pixiu.
Pixiu Black Obsidian Feng Shui Bracelet for Wealth
This is the classic “starter” piece that I often recommend. The black obsidian is incredibly grounding, and the Pixiu is there to help you manifest that financial breakthrough you’ve been working toward. It’s simple, powerful, and looks great with almost anything.

If you feel like you’re constantly dealing with “energy vampires” or bad luck at work, this version is a step up. It focuses heavily on the protection aspect of obsidian. It’s like having a little bodyguard on your wrist while you’re out there making moves.

Let’s Talk About the Stones: Citrine and the Five Elements
While obsidian is great for protection and “holding onto” wealth, sometimes you need to focus on *attracting* it in the first place. That’s where citrine comes in. In the world of crystals, citrine is known as the “Merchant’s Stone.” It’s bright, it’s sunny, and it’s all about manifestation and success.
But here’s a pro-tip: feng shui isn’t just about one thing; it’s about balance. The five elements—wood, fire, earth, metal, and water—need to be in harmony for your energy to flow. When I’m feeling scattered or like my life is out of balance, I reach for a bracelet that incorporates these elements along with the wealth-attracting power of citrine.
Citrine God of Wealth & 5-Element Feng Shui Bracelet
This is a powerhouse for anyone who feels like their life is a bit chaotic. It combines the “money-magnet” energy of citrine with symbols for the five elements to keep you centered while you manifest abundance. It’s honestly one of the most beautiful pieces I’ve seen.

The Prosperity Bracelet: Crystal & Pixiu for Wealth
I love this one because it uses Amethyst and Aquamarine. If your path to wealth requires a lot of creativity or clear communication—like if you’re a writer, a designer, or in sales—this is your best bet. It’s about prosperity that comes through calm, clear thinking.

How to Actually Wear Your Bracelet (Yes, There are Rules)
Now, this is where most people get it wrong. You can’t just slap a feng shui bracelet on and expect it to do all the work. There’s a “right” way to wear it to ensure the energy flows correctly. Trust me, I learned this the hard way after wearing mine on the wrong hand for a week and wondering why I felt so agitated!
- The Left Hand is Key: In feng shui, the left side of your body is the “receiving” side, while the right is the “giving” side. You want to wear your wealth bracelet on your left wrist to invite wealth into your life. The only exception is if the bracelet is specifically for protection or “cleansing,” which sometimes goes on the right.
- Pixiu’s Head Matters: If your bracelet has a Pixiu, make sure its head is facing outward (toward your pinky finger). This symbolizes the Pixiu going out into the world to find wealth and bringing it back to you.
- Don’t Let Others Touch It: This might sound a bit “woo-woo,” but energy is real. Your bracelet is tuned to *your* vibration. If a friend says, “Oh, that’s pretty!” and tries to grab it, politely decline or give it a quick cleanse afterward.
- Take It Off to Sleep: Your body needs to rest and recharge without the active “attraction” energy of the stones. Plus, Pixiu needs a break too! I keep mine on a piece of silk or in a nice bowl on my nightstand.
Mixing Love and Money: Why Rose Quartz Matters
I get asked a lot if you can wear more than one bracelet. The answer is yes, but don’t overdo it—you don’t want your energy to become “noisy.” However, I’ve found that wealth and love often go hand-in-hand. When your heart is open and you’re feeling loved, you’re naturally in a higher vibration, which makes attracting money so much easier.
If you’re looking for a more “rounded” approach to abundance—meaning you want a rich life in every sense of the word—adding rose quartz to the mix is a game-changer. It softens the aggressive “hunt for gold” energy of Pixiu and reminds you that you’re worthy of all the good things coming your way.
Rose Quartz Pixiu Bracelet for Love & Wealth Attraction
This is my favorite “lifestyle” piece. It’s perfect for anyone who wants to attract a partner who shares their financial goals, or for someone who just needs to be a little kinder to themselves while they build their empire. It’s a beautiful, soft energy that still packs a punch.
Price: $39.95
Keep the Energy Fresh
Just like you wouldn’t wear the same clothes for a month without washing them, you shouldn’t wear your feng shui bracelet forever without “clearing” it. Over time, the stones can absorb stagnant energy. I like to cleanse mine once a month during the full moon—just set it on a windowsill where the moonlight can hit it.
You can also use sage smoke or even just hold it under cool, running water (as long as the materials are water-safe!). The most important thing is your intention. When you put it back on, take a second to visualize what you want to achieve. Are you looking for a promotion? A new house? Peace of mind? Tell the stones what the plan is.
At the end of the day, a feng shui bracelet is a tool for transformation. It’s a physical anchor for your goals. Every time I catch a glimpse of the black obsidian or the shimmer of the citrine on my wrist, I’m reminded to stay focused, stay grateful, and keep my heart open to the abundance the universe has waiting. Have you ever tried wearing one? I’d love to hear if you noticed a shift in your own life once you started.
