{"product_id":"dragon-scale-bracelet","title":"Dragon Scale Bracelet","description":"\u003cp\u003eUnder the dragon's throat there is one scale that lies the wrong way round.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe nilin (逆鱗), the reverse scale. Chinese texts say a dragon will tolerate being ridden, but touch that one scale and it kills you. \u003cstrong\u003eIt turned into a figure of speech that is still in use: everyone has a nilin, the single subject you do not raise with them.\u003c\/strong\u003e Han Feizi (韓非子) used it to warn officials about how to advise a king and stay alive.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eSo a band made entirely of scales is carrying more implication than it looks like it is.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThey also move. The band is linked, so it flexes and shifts as your wrist turns and the scales catch light at different angles as they go. It behaves more like something living than a bracelet usually does. It closes with a toggle: the dragon holds a ring in its jaws, the tail end is the bar, and the bar drops through the ring to fasten it. Nothing about the closure is tucked out of sight, which is the point, because it is the part of the bracelet people look at first.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003e\u003cstrong\u003eFor anyone who has found bracelets static and a bit dead on the wrist.\u003c\/strong\u003e This one does something when you move.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eLooking after stainless steel\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eNothing to maintain and no plating to wear through. Linked bracelets can catch on knitwear, which is the one thing to watch.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eToggles are worth understanding before you order. The weight of the band is what keeps the bar seated, so the fit needs to be close. Measure properly and take the size that fits rather than the one above it, because a toggle worn loose is the only way this comes off on its own.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe dragon holding the ring in its jaws is the detail people notice second, once they have stopped looking at the scales.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003ch3\u003eSpecifications\u003c\/h3\u003e\n\u003cul\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMaterial:\u003c\/strong\u003e 316L stainless steel\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eSizing:\u003c\/strong\u003e Measure your wrist and add about 1.5cm \/ 0.6in\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eClasp:\u003c\/strong\u003e Toggle, dragon-head ring with bar\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eMotif:\u003c\/strong\u003e Dragon head with linked scale band, nilin (逆鱗)\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003cli\u003e\n\u003cstrong\u003eCare:\u003c\/strong\u003e Waterproof, will not fade or plate off\u003c\/li\u003e\n\u003c\/ul\u003e","brand":"Earth Tibet","offers":[{"title":"17.5cm \/ 7in","offer_id":52407253696814,"sku":"200000639:202637807;200001034:361180#Bracelet","price":76.83,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"19cm \/ 7.5in","offer_id":52407253729582,"sku":"200000639:201452416;200001034:361180#Bracelet","price":76.83,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"20.5cm \/ 8in","offer_id":52407253762350,"sku":"200000639:201452728;200001034:361180#Bracelet","price":76.83,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"22cm \/ 8.5in","offer_id":52407253631278,"sku":"200000639:1439;200001034:361180#Bracelet","price":76.83,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true},{"title":"23.5cm \/ 9in","offer_id":52407253664046,"sku":"200000639:2829;200001034:361180#Bracelet","price":76.83,"currency_code":"SGD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1000\/4807\/7102\/files\/dragon-scale-bracelet-3.webp?v=1786680043","url":"https:\/\/www.earthtibet.com\/products\/dragon-scale-bracelet","provider":"Earth Tibet","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
