Description
I put this one on before any conversation where I’m tempted to ask for less than I actually want.
Let’s be honest about the name. This bracelet doesn’t pick a lane. Ask your boss for a raise. Ask the universe for love. Ask for abundance, a yes instead of a maybe, the house you’re scared to put an offer on, the love you keep settling under. Anywhere you’ve been quietly asking for less, this is the one that says ask again, and ask for more.
In Nepal, gold is not just decoration. During Tihar, the five day festival of lights, households buy gold, silver, and new vessels of copper and brass as a sign of luck and prosperity, then use them that night to welcome Lakshmi into the home. It is a yearly, deliberate invitation for money to come closer. Blue sits beside it for an older reason. It is the colour of Krishna, worn by a deity known for steadiness, courage, and the nerve to face down what’s difficult. Gold calls the money in. Blue keeps your hand from shaking while you ask for it.
This piece is handmade in the Kathmandu Valley, finely worked glass beads crocheted onto a durable cotton thread, light enough to forget you’re wearing it and bold enough that you’ll remember why you put it on. It rolls onto the wrist rather than clasping, one size fits all, so it stays with you through the conversation, not just before it.
In ritual, I would wear this before a negotiation, a salary review, an offer on a house, or any moment where I’ve decided I’m no longer asking small. It is steadiness and abundance worn together, old Tihar gold with a little modern nerve.
Energetic associations Chakra: Throat and Solar Plexus Zodiac: Capricorn, Taurus, Sagittarius Element: Earth and Air Energy: abundance, courage, negotiation, steadiness, worth
How to work with The Ask For More Put it on the morning of the conversation that matters Touch the gold beads before you say the number Wear it into the room, not just to psych yourself up beforehand Stack it with red when the ask is about love instead of money Gift it to the friend who needs permission to ask for more
As each bracelet is handmade, slight variations in bead placement and colour are part of what makes it yours. No two are identical, the same way no two negotiations go exactly the same.
The Ask For More also makes a genuinely useful gift, for a new job, a promotion, a big birthday, or the friend who is finally ready to charge what she’s worth.
A bracelet for the woman done asking small. Gold for what’s coming. Blue for the nerve to ask for it. Made in Nepal. Worn for money. Felt as courage.
