China began making jewelry over five thousand years ago. Originally used in ceremonies and designed for religious purposes, most of the jewelry was made from silver. Today, we have seen an explosion of interest in the use of Chinese symbols in jewelry, as well as in pictorial art, signs, and even tattoos.

What is the fascination? Maybe it is the combination of hidden meaning and pleasing visual presentation, with a hint of the exotic thrown in.

Today, Chinese character jewelry is a wonderful elegant and exotic design choice which allows you to add deeply personal meaning.

Whether it is in the form of Chinese symbol necklaces, rings, or charms, the Chinese characters have always had a strong connection with a power that is both mysterious and yet comforting. Used over two thousands years ago as a form of calligraphy, Chinese symbols have become an art form that is both pleasing to the eye and even more popular than other symbolic jewelry such as the Egyptian cartouche.

Some of the most beautifully designed pendants, for example, are hand-crafted in 14 carat gold and can be personalized with Chinese symbols including words, sayings, or names. For that someone special in your life, a “Forever in my heart,” pendant could show how much they truly mean to you.

The magic of these Chinese symbols in jewelry would be known only to you and the recipient, and that is the reason why this type of jewelry has enormous appeal. What a wonderful gift this would be on Mother’s Day – a Chinese necklace, charm, or ring with the symbols “Mother ‘n Daughter” or “Mother ‘n Son.” Or for Valentine’s Day, a gift for your honey with the symbols for “True Love” or “Cherish.”

If you have a friend or family member who has lost a loved one, a beautifully designed pendant with the Chinese symbol “Strength” or “Courage” could also be inscribed. So too, a simple charm with the Chinese character for “Friendship“Friend” could be given to your special friend who may be relocating to another state, or given to him or her just because you wish to show how much the friendship means to you.

It is a truly unique and personal gift that will be treasured forever.
