Serpentine takes its name from its serpent skin green, and modern practice reads it through exactly that image: the stone of shedding old skins, kept for calm, renewal, and gentle fresh starts. The deep traditions of jade, the Chinese jade culture, the classical correspondences, the heart associations, belong to true nephrite and jadeite, and we leave them with the true stone rather than borrow them for a trade name cousin; serpentine's quieter modern reputation is honest enough to stand on its own. The dragonfly makes a fitting companion for it. Across folk symbolism the dragonfly is the transformation emblem, the creature that spends years underwater before its one bright season of flight, and worn beside the shedding stone it turns the bracelet into a small, coherent statement: change is underway, and it is welcome.

1. Cleanse it on arrival with smoke, sound, or moonlight; keep soaks short, as serpentine prefers to stay dry.
2. Wear it through a season of change, and let the dragonfly be the day's reminder that the change was chosen.
3. Find a bead with your thumb in restless moments; the small touch is the practice.
4. Roll it on and off over the hand to spare the elastic, and take it off for showers and swimming.

• Nephrite Jade Nugget Bracelet: true jade, for the wrist that wants the real lineage.
• African Turquoise Beaded Bracelet, 4mm: the evolution stone, another honest trade name.
• New Beginning Crystal Kit: the fresh start trio in a pouch, for the same season of change.
• White Selenite Wand: a cleansing rest between wearings.

Is new jade real jade?

No. New jade is a trade name for serpentine, a different mineral with its own gentler character. We name it plainly, and we sell true nephrite jade separately for those who want the real lineage.

What is serpentine kept for?

Calm, renewal, and shedding old patterns, in modern practice, the serpent skin stone of gentle fresh starts. We leave the formal jade correspondences to true jade.

What does the dragonfly mean?

Transformation and renewal, across a wide sweep of folk symbolism: the creature that lives years underwater before its one season of bright flight.

Will it fit, and how do I care for it?

The stretch cord fits most adult wrists. Roll it on and off over the hand, keep it out of showers and pools, and cleanse with smoke, sound, or moonlight.
