Featuring nine beads and silk tassels, this adjustable Yuan Yuan Bracelet is a small token wishing for longevity and eternity.
The Yuan Yuan Collection draws inspiration from Chinese numerology and cultural symbolism. Specific numbers are regarded as lucky because of their similar pronunciation to other words. The number nine (九, jiǔ in Mandarin; gáu in Cantonese) is a homophone to 久 ever-lasting (jiǔ in Mandarin; gáu in Cantonese) which has made it a symbol of longevity and eternity. A romantic gesture that incorporates the number nine is a symbolic expression of eternal love.
Each piece is meticulously handcrafted in our San Francisco studio.
Cord Color – Clay
Length – adjustable, 6"-9.25"
Sizing – This bracelet is adjustable and will generally fit most people. The widest part of the hand should measure less than 9.25” in circumference to comfortably move on/off.
