Beauty and Power



This handcarved bone necklace just made it's way into the shop, as part of the "Bohemian Spring" collection. Inspired by it's unique beauty,  I did a bit of research and discovered  the intricate hand carved pendant which features a phoenix and dragon are traditional Chinese design. The phoenix, long associated with the Empress is the mythical bird which symbolizes beauty, good luck and southern direction. The dragon, a lengendary reptilian monster is the national emblem of the Chinese Empire and considered a symbol of power, good fortune and eastern direction.  I think it's a perfect way to celebrate your heritage or perhaps a great way to show your appreciation for beautiful handcrafted art with symbolic meaning! Available now in the shop.
