Strength, Growth & Resilience
Bamboo is a revered element, rich in symbolism, especially in Asia, representing strength, growth, resilience, humility, and friendship. In Hong Kong, it is widely used, from decorative ceramic fencing around temples, symbolizing the path to enlightenment, to practical applications like scaffolding, valued for its strength and flexibility against storms.
Also available with satin finish.
Please embrace any small differences as all items are handmade and any gemstones are of a natural origin. This is what makes my pieces unique and individual. If there are any elements you would like to change please contact me.
