About the Item
This vintage Chinese bracelet is a unique blend of cultural heritage and natural beauty, featuring Bodhi seeds, also known as "Phoenix Eye" seeds, and a distinctive late 19th-century Qing dynasty hand carved green celadon nephrite jade hulu bead. The combination of materials and the history behind them make this piece a remarkable artifact of Chinese tradition.
The Bodhi seeds, revered in Buddhist culture for their significance in representing enlightenment and the Buddha's path to understanding, have developed a well-patinated surface over time. This patina not only adds to the aesthetic appeal of the seeds, giving them an antique look, but also signifies the age and the journey these seeds have undergone, enhancing their spiritual value.
Central to the bracelet is a green celadon jade hulu bead, measuring 16mm in diameter and 21mm in height. The hulu, or calabash, is a symbol of health, prosperity, and protection against evil in Chinese culture. The bead's celadon jade composition, known for its translucent green quality and smooth finish, adds a touch of elegance and historical significance to the bracelet, as jade has been highly valued in China for centuries for its beauty and supposed metaphysical properties.
Strung on an elastic cord, the bracelet is designed to comfortably fit wrists up to 7.5 inches in size, making it a versatile accessory suitable for various wearers. The elastic cord ensures ease of wear while maintaining the bracelet's traditional aesthetic.
This bracelet, with its combination of Bodhi seeds and a Qing dynasty nephrite jade bead, is more than just a piece of jewelry. It is a wearable piece of history, embodying the spiritual and cultural values of vintage Chinese artistry. Whether worn for its aesthetic beauty or its symbolic significance, this bracelet is sure to be a cherished item for any collector or enthusiast of Chinese antiques and Buddhism.
