This necklace, themed on ‘Joyous Celebration’, aims to provide emotional comfort for people living in a busy and stressful life. Centered around the concept of ‘Reviving Antiquity Anew’, it presents a time-honed patina through well-chosen antiquities, and adapts to modern wear with aesthetic minimalism.
The necklace takes gold as the main color to exude luxury. An exquisite white jade pendant from the Qing Dynasty boasts intricate carvings on both sides—vivid He-He Erxian (Immortals of Harmony and Happiness) on the front and Chinese characters ‘Huan Tian Xi Di’ (Joyous Celebration) on the back—conveying best wishes for auspiciousness and well-being. Above the jade, a gilded snow lion stands proudly, which, as a sacred emblem of Tibetan Buddhism, represents strength and wisdom. With its head held high, the lion firmly supports ancient beads featuring varied shapes, as if quietly dispelling sorrows in the world. The majestic gold lion and the gentle white jade complement each other to perfectly balance strength with elegance, embodying a harmonious symbiosis of solemn religion and delightful secular life. The elements, including blue glass beads, rope-knotted spheres, and spherical metal ornaments, are meticulously arranged and strung, blending antique charm with modern fashion. The collision and fusion of diverse materials creates a striking yet balanced visual effect, where passion meets calmness, leading to distinctive artistic allure.
By employing modern design to reinterpret antiquities that symbolize jubilation, this necklace not only serves as an everyday accessory, but also becomes a collectible work of art owing to its profound cultural and historical significance and unique artistic quality.
