The ancient yin-yang symbol appears here in the soft, rainbow shimmer of mother-of-pearl: the light-playing surface glints differently with every movement.
The yin-yang symbol
Yin and yang are the two principles of Chinese thought that pervade every aspect of life and the universe. Yin represents the feminine principle (earth, cold, north, moist), yang the masculine (heaven, warmth, south, dry). The two are not opposites but complements – expressing the unity of cosmic duality.
About mother-of-pearl
Mother-of-pearl is the inner layer of the shell, prized for centuries for its fine, light-playing surface. Its soft glow is unique on every piece, so no two pendants are exactly alike.
Good to know
The pendant is around 3.5 cm in a metal setting. It is nickel-, lead- and cadmium-free, in line with European product safety standards (REACH).
Care
Mother-of-pearl is sensitive to chemicals and acids, so it is best put on after applying perfume. Wipe with a soft, dry cloth.
