------Introduction-------
Omamori is an amulet that is held in Japan when you want to make a wish or ward off bad luck. Omamori are sold at various places, including shrines and temples, and are held by people who entrust their wishes to them. Some people believe that when a charm is broken or lost, it is a sign that a wish will come true or that bad luck will be avoided.
Hiiragi's bracelet is a talisman that always contains one zelkova bead carved by a Buddhist sculptor to pray for the fulfillment of wishes and warding off evil spirits. Please enjoy the amulet that comes close to your wishes.

[Birth stone] Sapphire ( September )
King Solomon was the king of Israel in the 9th century BCE. The seal ring he possessed was set with a sapphire.
With this ring, Solomon was said to seal away evil spirits and communicate with animals, birds, and even spirits. The seal appears not only in Jewish mysticism (Kabbalah) but also in Islamic mythology and Western grimoires, showing just how widely the legend spread. Even today, it often appears in children’s literature and fantasy works—so much so that there are hardly any people unfamiliar with the name Solomon. Somehow, the word “Solomon” itself carries an almost magically familiar resonance.
Thanks to this, sapphire came to be recognized as a gemstone with exceptionally strong spiritual power.
In this bracelet design, to enhance the spiritual qualities of sapphire, beads with the blended colors of Que Sera Stone are included, along with muscovite to add a mysterious touch, onyx for protection, and kunzite—which pairs beautifully with sapphire—to brighten the whole piece.
*Omamori bracelets are amulets unique to Yanaka and are made by always containing one wooden bead called a "Buddhist's wooden bead" carved by a Buddhist sculptor with a wish for the fulfillment of one's wishes. New bracelets arrive (restock) online every week.
