Chinese Lacquer Fan Choker – Gilded Art – 925 Silver & Copper

✨ The Design: A Wearable Painting

This necklace is more than jewelry; it is a canvas around your neck. Inspired by the elegance of traditional folding fans, the pendant features a graceful arc shape.

• The Shape: The “Fan” (Shan) symbolizes kindness and good fortune in Eastern culture. Visually, the geometric curve also echoes the vintage Art Deco style, making it a versatile statement piece.

• The Choker: The pendant floats on a structured 925 Sterling Silver wire (approx. 45cm). Unlike soft chains, this collar maintains a perfect round shape, sitting beautifully on the collarbone for a clean, sophisticated look.

✨ The Heritage & Craft: Copper & Lacquer (Da Qi)

The Heritage: “Liquid Gold” of the East This choker carries an 8,000-year-old legacy. Historically, Chinese Lacquer (Da Qi) was once reserved for royalty, valued even higher than bronze. It is often called “Liquid Gold” because of its rarity: a lacquer farmer must make thousands of cuts on the lacquer tree to harvest just one pound of sap. It is truly the “blood of the tree,” transformed into art.

The Craft: Copper & Warmth Unlike cold industrial metals or plastic, this natural lacquer finish feels warm and jade-like against your skin.

• The Process: We coat the solid copper body with multiple layers of natural lacquer. It takes months to cure in a specific humid environment.

• Gilded Painting (Miao Jin): Our artisans use fine brushes to paint intricate patterns with gold powder, creating a luxurious contrast against the lacquer base.

• The Magic: Lacquer possesses a unique quality—it is “alive.” The more you wear it, the brighter and more translucent the surface becomes over time. It is a jewelry piece that grows with you.
