Long Chinese necklaces made of 108 beads are much more than just jewelry. The number 108 is considered sacred in Buddhism. It represents the 108 obstacles, passions, or attachments that prevent a person from reaching wisdom and serenity.
Today, it is worn by many people for different reasons:
as a meditation object;
as a good luck charm;
to remind of values such as calm, patience, and kindness;
or simply to appreciate the beauty of traditional craftsmanship.
It can be worn in several ways:
around the neck in one or several loops;
worn crossbody (斜跨, xiékà), from shoulder to hip;
wrapped several times around the wrist to become a bracelet.
