Click on the images above to access details of the individual projects

This collection of bead jewelry draws on the beauty of Chinese knots for its inspiration. Knotting is an ancient art form in China and is often formed with silk cords both for practical and decorative purposes. The intricate designs of these knots are often used to add interest and elegance in the decoration of functional objects. The double coin knot which the main focus of this collection of jewelry is so named as it looks like two overlapping traditional Chinese coins. These coins are round but have a square hole in the middle. As the knot is perfectly symmetrical, it also connotes double perfection. Coins of course, denote money and in this aspect, Chinese merchants often carry these knots about their person in the belief that it will bring prosperity. The collection comprises of 2 necklaces - a grand imperial necklace fit for an Empress and a simpler sweet necklace for a princess. To grace your wrist is a bracelet. And of course - rings - something that no self-respecting Empress would find herself without. Click on the pictures at the top to view full details for each of the pieces.
