新年快乐! xin nian kuai le! happy Chinese New year!

This weekend is Chinese New Year or Spring festival. This year is the lucky year of the horse. I have already seen some AMAZING billboards and pictures of red and gold horses. 

I have been asked a few times this month what is the best and luckiest dzi bead for horses to wear. Here are all the animals and the best dzi beads for them to wear....

(just remember that just because your animal suggest you wearing a certain bead, it doesn't mean that you can't wear another numbered eye. the best rule is to go with your gut instinct when choosing your bead- it chooses you!)

“This is the animal that hides in your heart.”
