Tortoise shell is the main material of handicrafts in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Because of its yellow color, fine material, soft texture and fragrant smell, it is loved by craftsmen and artists in Ming and Qing Dynasties. Tortoise shell handicrafts handed down to this day are also valuable. Fine workmanship and good preservation are relatively expensive collections.
Good tortoise shell beads are translucent, soft, bright and moist. There are colorful dark brown stripes inside. These stripes are made up of countless dots of different sizes. The denser the dots, the darker the color, the clearer, more beautiful and more transparent the stripes, especially with the change of depth and stains, which is natural and interesting.

Tortoise shell wearing taboo:
1. Tortoise shell is a natural organic gem that nourishes human body. Therefore, the jewelry made of tortoiseshell must not be worn on the right hand, otherwise it will not play a role in maintenance. Anyone who knows about jewelry knows that wearing jewelry should follow the principle of "left hand in and right hand out".
2. People with bursting positive energy should not wear tortoiseshell, because tortoiseshell can bring people confidence and security, which is more suitable for timid and delicate women, and men can wear more atmospheric Bodhi Wan Wen bracelets.
People who are already more confident will not have the icing on the cake if they wear tortoise shells, but will have the effect of recoil. If you don't pay attention, it will be bad for the wearer, which will easily lead to wearers' listlessness and lack of confidence.
