Our first bracelet is coloured after the five elements of Chinese tradition. We offer it as a design language, not a promise of any effect.

Traditional lacquer work builds a surface from many thin coats, each left to cure and then polished.

Colour and pattern come from layers, so each piece has its own depth and no two match exactly.

A polished lacquer surface shifts with the light and, with care, settles into a warm lustre over the years.

Details of how our own pieces are made are being confirmed with the workshop and will be published here once verified.

We list a material only once our workshop has confirmed it in writing.

Shipping, duties and delivery time are agreed with you before anything is sent.

Lacquer can irritate sensitive skin. If you react to lacquer or plant resins, please tell us before you reserve.
