Featuring a set of nine beads, our Jiu Jiu hoop earrings are our small tokens wishing for longevity and eternal love.
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 earring hoop is hand hammered from 14k gold-filled wire and meticulously beaded in our San Francisco studio.
