2. Eastern Metaphysical Jewelry Lights Up the West—Premium via Social Media
Rooted in Eastern metaphysical traditions, Buddha Stones surge in demand in Western markets as energy jewellery.
Their rise is driven by the global wellness wave—by 2025 the market is projected at $7 trillion.
Western customers engage in meditation and metaphysical practices, fuelling demand. At the same time, China’s Jiangsu Donghai crystal sector supplies over 70% of global volume, and Yiwu supply-chain costs remain low.
The brand offers over 3,700 SKUs of bracelets tuned to wellness-seeking consumers. They use Facebook and TikTok to “plant” interest and sell at premium prices.
In essence, the jewelry offers low-cost spiritual comfort in an age of anxiety. It confirms how traditional culture gains global value via modern expression.
