Asian Mythology Jewelry

The sacred animals and deities of Asia, carved by hand in S925 sterling silver and traditional fire-gilded 24K gold. The elephant god, the garuda, the serpent, the dragon and the bronze-age beast of ancient China are the subjects our workshop has spent the most years on.

The elephant god

The Broken Tusk Elephant God Ring carries the elephant-headed god with his single tusk, and the Six-Tusked Elephant Ring and Six-Tusked Elephant Cuff follow the white elephant of the Buddha's birth story. Read The Broken Tusk and the Six-Tusked Elephant.

Serpents and dragons

The Mystical Serpent Naga Pendant is a limited edition of 199, joined by the Serpent Ring and Serpent Cuff. The Dragon Ring pairs fire-gilded silver with copper flames. For the stories behind them, read The Naga.

Ancient China

The Taotie Double-Body Bangle follows the beast face of Shang ritual bronzes (see The Face on the Bronze), and the Nine-Palace Zodiac Amulet carries the Luoshu square on a tortoise (see The Tortoise That Carries the Sky).

How they are made

Every piece is carved by hand, fire-gilded at around 900°C — not ordinary gold plating — and finished under a 40× microscope. We write about what these forms have meant across Asia; we do not claim any piece has protective or healing powers.
