From a cultural perspective, this bracelet has a Chinese theme; in terms of jewelry, it's a unique design; and from a gifting point of view, it's a thoughtful token of a Chinese-inspired design.

Symbols and the meaning behind the design

Tai Chi (Yin-Yang)

The familiar symbol of the yin and yang symbolizes the complementary relationship of forces. It is related to balance, interdependence and the evolution of nature in the Taoist belief system and Chinese philosophy in general.

Bagua (Eight Trigrams)

The Bagua is made up of eight trigrams, made of three unbroken or broken lines. The trigrams are taken from the I Ching (Book of Changes), and are connected with various natural phenomena and aspects of change. Bagua symbols also feature in traditional Chinese decorative items and protective symbols.

A motif of Mountain Ghost Flower Coin

Traditional Chinese flower coins, sometimes referred to as hua qian (花钱), are ornamental coins but are not commonplace coins. The Mountain Ghost design on this bracelet is based on Chinese folk imagery, and is a Taoism-related talismanic design. May differ from design to design and tradition to tradition in its specific interpretation of history.

Continuous Loop Design

The bracelet has a continuous band design with twists that gives a unique look to the bracelet. It can also be enjoyed as a modern rendition of continuity and interconnectedness without connotation of a traditional sense.

Product Details

Material and Finish

The bracelet is fabricated from white copper and lastly silver plated to achieve a shiny silver finish. This blend is used to achieve the appearance of silver plated jewelry, but without the high cost of silver.

Like any piece of plated jewelry, it can fade with heavy use and/or water, perfumes, lotions and other chemicals. Remove bracelet before showering, swimming, exercising etc to ensure it looks best over time, and don't leave in the water for too long.

Note: This product is in no way solid silver, but is silver plated. When wearing, for those with a metal allergy/sensitivity, check with the seller for the exact type of metal alloy.

Fit and Sizing

Open-cuff design for some fitability for various size wrists. If the bracelet seems too tight or too loose, try to make small adjustments only when needed so as to not make the bracelet too tight or too loose.

Do not over bend, twist or force, as multiple adjustments can cause the metal to weaken or damage to the finish. If you're looking for an exact fit, please refer to the product's actual size before ordering.

Jewelry Care

To help maintain the bracelet's appearance:

• Gently wipe clean after use with soft dry cloth.
• Do not come in contact with perfume, lotions, household cleaning products or other chemicals.
• Take off before using the bathtub, swimming or heavy exercise.
• When not in use, keep in a dry, preferably sealed pouch.
• Do not use abrasive polishing cloths or strong cleaners – these can damage the silver.
