Product description
Handmade and decorated porcelain bead in the shape of a sphere, featuring an image of the Yin-Yang symbol.
Porcelain is a fine and delicate material that ranks among the prides of Chinese culture. For many of us, however, it also serves as a nostalgic element, evoking memories of the coziness and charm of our ancestors’ homes. This sense of nostalgia arises because, much like many household items from our grandparents’ era, porcelain beads are handcrafted and often hand-decorated. Today, these beads are utilized in crafting vintage-style jewelry, decorations, and souvenirs. They are particularly esteemed within artistic circles. In some instances, hand-painted decorations are replaced by prints to make the beads more affordable without sacrificing the detail and perfection of the design. In other cases, the beads are simply glazed in various colors and finishes. Despite their simplicity, these beads are beloved for their material and the ambiance they provide. Porcelain beads, along with their baked-on coating, are durable—they do not break easily and are resistant to chipping. This durability is yet another advantage worth considering, especially for those looking to invest in long-lasting and meaningful decorative elements.
The Yin-Yang symbol, also known as the symbol of Dao, represents the harmony existing in the universe, based on the union of opposites. It encapsulates the interplay of disorder and order, light and darkness, life and death, action and inaction, fire and water, male and female energies—polarities represented by black and white enclosed in the eternal cycle of the cosmic circle. One opposite cannot exist without the other. Where black increases, a white dot appears; where white increases, a black one. Evil results from an imbalance in Yin and Yang, while goodness comes from both extremes being in harmony. This symbol carries deep wisdom, revealing the truth about life.
