Feng Shui Pixiu Obsidian Wealth Bracelet: How to Wear It & Who Should Not

The Feng Shui Pixiu obsidian wealth bracelet is one of the most sought-after wealth talismans in Chinese tradition — pairing the mythical Pixiu (Pi Yao), a wealth-drawing creature, with grounding black obsidian. This guide answers the questions people ask most before buying one.

What is a Feng Shui Pixiu obsidian wealth bracelet?

The Pixiu is a winged mythical creature believed to attract and guard wealth — legend says it feeds on gold and silver and, having no anus, keeps fortune from escaping. Paired with black obsidian, a protective, grounding volcanic stone, the bracelet is worn to invite prosperity while shielding against negative energy. It's a favorite for anyone focused on money luck, career growth, or protection.

How do you wear a Feng Shui black obsidian wealth bracelet?

Wear it on your left wrist. In Feng Shui, the left side is where energy enters the body, so wearing the Pixiu on the left lets it draw wealth toward you. Position the Pixiu's head facing outward, away from your body — this way it can “go out,” gather fortune, and bring it back to you. Wearing it on the right is generally discouraged for a wealth Pixiu.

Which hand — left or right?

For wealth and protection, always the left. The right hand is associated with energy leaving the body, which works against a bracelet meant to attract money.

Who should not wear a Pixiu bracelet?

By tradition, a few groups are advised to avoid or take care with a Pixiu: pregnant women and young children (its energy is considered too strong), and some believe those born in the year of the Tiger should be cautious, as the Tiger and Pixiu are seen as clashing. Many also avoid letting others touch their Pixiu, and remove it during intimacy or bathing. These are cultural customs rather than rules — wear yours in the way that feels right and respectful to you.

How do you cleanse and care for it?

Because obsidian absorbs energy, cleanse the bracelet regularly: rest it in moonlight overnight (Pixiu is said to “recharge” under the moon), rinse briefly under running water, or pass it through incense smoke. Keep it away from perfume and harsh chemicals, and re-set your intention when you put it back on.
