Six Arts Luban Gold Lock Gift Set
A wood joint technique traditionally used in Chinese architecture is what inspired the form of this piece of jewellery made of 18-carat gold. It consists of six individual elements linked by mortise and tenon joints and worn as pendants. Beyond the decorative aspect, this piece of jewellery also represents a modern revival of Chinese folk customs. According to the six arts taught by Confucius, today each of the six elements stands for one specific human ability.
Statement by the Jury
Shaped beautifully and with finesse, this golden piece of jewellery is convincing in its modern interpretation of ancient Chinese tradition and wisdom.
