This Too Shall Pass 浮云
$168.00
The Chinese idea of drifting clouds 浮云 is a very similar concept to the phrase “This too shall pass”, which talks about the ephemerality of all things.
The original Chinese term came from the Confucius’ saying 不义而富且贵,于我如浮云 (Wealth and fortune gained in a underhanded way, are just like drifting clouds).
Handmade by Hanfugirl
925 Silver & machine-carved Serpentine
Serpentine pieces measure 11mm X 14mm
Serpentine is also known as Xiu Yu 岫玉 (lit: “Jade” from the cave region) in Chinese, as the region that produced it in abundance has a lot of cave formations along its coasts.
Note: Unlike conventional gemstones, jadestones have very different colours under different lighting conditions and surroundings. Photos are taken in daylight to best represent the natural colours when worn in the day. As such, they would look different when indoors. We advise to open your parcel in the day next to the window to best appreciate your first acquaintance with your acquisition.
