夕阳 Xi Yang Jade Earrings $ 30 Exclusively ONE piece only SOLD


These jade doughnuts are very special, because they have at least 2 shades of colour on the same piece!
It is not easy to find such jade pieces, let alone two identical ones.

I have tied a yellow jade flower to the doughnuts to complete the look.

Leverback earwires are sterling silver as usual.




One of my favourite poems during my Secondary Sch days learning Chinese Lit:

登乐游

向晚意不适,
驱车登古原,
夕阳无限好,
只是近黄昏。

Translation - The Leyou Plateau (which overlooks Imperial Tombs)

With the gloom of evening hour
I drive up the ancient heights
The setting sun is glorious to see
Pity it's so close to the night
