Home: A Unique Handmade Necklace by Dong Han

Symbolizing Nature and Embracing Life

Dong Han, a renowned designer, has created a masterpiece that captures the essence of nature and the beauty of life. Named "Home," this unique handmade necklace is a symbol of confidence, protection, and the nurturing embrace of a mother. It is a testament to the love and care shared between Dong Han and his wife during her pregnancy.

The necklace features a combination of hand-carved ebony and light-colored wood. The ebony represents the power of confidence, tightly wrapping the inner part of the necklace and leaving traces of natural forces. On the other hand, the light-colored wood cradles crystals, symbolizing a mother's embrace and the growth of new life from within.

What sets this necklace apart is not only its symbolic meaning but also the craftsmanship behind it. Dong Han meticulously carved each part by hand, ensuring that every detail is perfect. The materials used are diverse, including ancient jade, bronze, copper, crystal, and more. These materials are not chosen for their value but for their unique and artistic qualities.

The realization of this design involved a combination of engraving, inlay techniques, and weaving processes. The result is a stunning piece of jewelry that is not only visually striking but also carries a deep emotional dimension. The large size of the necklace adds to its presence, yet it remains lightweight and comfortable to wear.

"Home" was created in Dong Han's studio in Beijing and has been exhibited at prestigious events such as the New York artexpo2013 and the Beijing International Jewelry Art Biennial in 2013 and 2015. Its timeless design and profound meaning have garnered recognition, including the Iron A' Design Award in 2019.

This necklace is not just a piece of jewelry; it is a work of art that evokes a sense of love, freedom, and awe for nature. It serves as a reminder of our connection to the past and the beauty that surrounds us. With "Home" around your neck, you carry a piece of nature's embrace and the warmth of a loving home.
