Hetian Jade Gourd (Wu Lou) Pendant
£42.24 Prices include UK VAT (20%).
In Chinese, the gourd — hulu — sounds like "fu lu," fortune and standing, and for over a thousand years carvers have shaped it as a token of long life and a full household. This small gourd is carved from Hetian nephrite, the jade that Chinese emperors reserved for their own seals, and hangs on an adjustable cord. It makes a considered gift for an elder or anyone starting a new chapter. A symbol you wear — not a promise of anything.
