The Symbols and what they Mean

Taoist religious traditions and traditional Chinese astronomy have an important role for the Big Dipper (Beidou) in Chinese.Beidou, known as the Big Dipper in Chinese, has an important role in traditional Chinese astronomy and Taoist religious traditions. It can be seen in a variety of beliefs and rituals, and has different meanings in different historical and religious settings.

Yin-Yang: The well-known Taoist symbol yin-yang is used to depict complementary forces. Traditionally, it is associated with balance, transformation and relationship between seemingly opposite elements in Chinese philosophy.

Bagua (Eight Trigrams): The eight trigrams are based on the I Ching, which were used to depict patterns of change and were traditionally associated with the elements of heaven, earth, thunder, wind, water, fire, mountain and lake. They play an important role in the ancient Chinese belief system and philosophy.

These symbols, combined, impart a unique Chinese traditional look to the bracelet. If they appeal to their cultural meaning, they may also be used as a personal reminder of balance, change, and the lasting impact of the Chinese philosophy.

Fit & Care Tips

Open cuff for easy fit adjustments. Gradually and slightly adjust ends as needed. Don't bend or force the bracelet over and over because it can break the bracelet or change its shape.

Keep away from water, perfume, lotions and household chemicals to help maintain the antique coating of silver. When worn, clean the bracelet with a soft, dry cloth and keep in a dry location.

Prevent abrasive cleaners and harsh polishing as this could detract from the shine and make the darker decorative details less distinct. Like other plated jewelry, surface finish can fade over time due to wear and tear.
