Each Chinese year is assigned one of twelve animals, and the goat is the eighth. Traditional accounts associate goat years with gentleness, family and the arts. The next goat year begins with the lunar new year in early February 2027.
This bracelet pairs a carved goat bead with two red agate beads on a hand-knotted cord. The agate has been heat-treated to bring out the red, which is standard practice and permanent — stated here rather than left as a vague "natural colour" claim.
