A canopy extended—where divine form cascades, and stillness gives way to grace in motion.
This is a pair of earrings based on the early Tang “Hua Gai” motif from the murals of Dunhuang, evoking celestial shelter and symbolic order. The upper crown features a white mother of pearl disc above a lotus dome and twelve golden beads—classic markers of Buddhist protection and regal cosmology.
What sets this version apart is the addition of three freshwater pearls suspended on a fine chain—recalling prayer beads, canopy fringes, or ritual tassels in sacred space. The vertical flow introduces rhythm, fluidity, and ceremonial delicacy.
Crafted in gold-plated 925 silver and softly polished for a matte glow, the design balances visual mass with line, density with air. The pearls sway gently with movement, extending the spiritual geometry of the dome into the world below.
These earrings speak in quiet splendor—for those who honor presence not through grandeur, but through reverent detail.
The Dunhuang Collection is inspired by the murals of the Mogao Caves, where Chinese, Indian, Central Asian, and East Asian motifs met at the crossroads of the Silk Road.
Each piece in this series carries echoes of that convergence—patterns drawn from ancient wall paintings, reinterpreted as contemporary jewelry forms.
