How to care for your cinnabar jewelry
Our cinnabar jewelry is made from processed cinnabar material, not raw cinnabar ore. It can be worn or placed daily if you keep it from water, chemicals, and hard knocks.
Avoid water, long contact with sweat, perfume, cosmetics, cleaners, hard knocks, long hours in strong sun, and high heat.
Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth. Store it dry and separate so it does not rub against harder jewelry.
It can be worn with other jewelry if you avoid long, direct friction, especially with metal chains.

What does cinnabar symbolize?
Cinnabar has long been associated with red, vitality, protection, and auspicious symbolism in Chinese cultural traditions.
Why is cinnabar red?
Its distinctive red color comes from cinnabar itself, a naturally occurring mineral traditionally known as vermilion.
Can I wear cinnabar jewelry every day?
Yes, with care. Avoid water, perfume, cosmetics, chemicals, and hard knocks.
How should I care for my cinnabar jewelry?
Keep it dry, wipe gently with a soft cloth, and store it separately when not wearing it.
Can I wear my talisman with other jewelry?
Yes, but avoid long, direct friction, especially between metal chains and cinnabar.
Is this the same as raw cinnabar ore?
Our cinnabar jewelry is made from processed cinnabar material, not raw cinnabar ore.
Does cinnabar contain mercury?
Cinnabar is a mercury sulfide mineral. Our jewelry uses processed cinnabar material rather than raw ore, and it is intended for normal jewelry use rather than ingestion or processing. Avoid grinding, cutting, burning, or otherwise damaging the material.
What is Shan Gui?
Shan Gui comes from ancient Chinese literature and cultural tradition, most famously associated with the figure in the Nine Songs of the Chu Ci. TalismanCove uses the figure as a cultural and artistic blessing, not as a claim that a supernatural being will literally protect the wearer.

A cord is included. For a replacement, email us at [email protected] or message us on WhatsApp.
Can I wear it while sleeping or bathing?
We do not recommend it. Take it off for sleep, bathing, and swimming to protect the cinnabar, metal, and cord.
