Product description
Handmade and decorated porcelain bead in a round shape with an image of the "Yin-Yang" symbol.
Porcelain is a fine, delicate material that stands as one of the proud achievements of Chinese culture. For us, however, it carries a nostalgic element, evoking the comfort and charm we associate with the homes of our ancestors. Why do porcelain beads awaken this nostalgia? Because, like many items in our grandparents’ households, they are handcrafted and often hand-decorated. Today, they are used in the creation of vintage jewelry designs, decorations, and souvenirs. This style has a large following, especially among artistic circles. In some cases, the hand-painted decoration has been replaced with a print, making the bead more affordable without sacrificing detail and the perfection of the artwork. In other instances, the bead is simply glazed in various colors and different finishing coats. These beads are simple yet beloved due to the material and the aura they carry. The porcelain beads, along with their fired coating, are durable, resistant to breaking, and do not chip—another advantage worth considering.
The Yin-Yang symbol, also known as the Tao symbol, represents the harmony that exists in the universe, based on the union of opposites. Chaos and order, light and darkness, life and death, action and inaction, fire and water, masculine and feminine energy—these polarities are represented by black and white, enclosed in an eternal cycle by the universal circle. One opposite cannot exist without the other. Where the black increases, a white dot appears; where the white increases, a black dot emerges. Evil results from an imbalance between Yin and Yang, while goodness arises from the harmony of these extremes. This symbol carries profound wisdom, revealing the truth of life.
