The Chinese zodiac Tiger necklace is influenced by the ancient Chinese calligraphy character of Tiger (Hu 虎), the third of the twelve signs of the Chinese zodiac. Courage, self-assurance, competitiveness, and spontaneity: these are the traits that make a typical Tiger! As such, those born under the sign of the Tiger are often extremely charismatic; while the popularity this brings can be offset by a tendency towards irritability and impulsiveness, Tigers are, ultimately, recognised as charming friends and respected colleagues.
Chinese calligraphy is an aestheticised form of handwriting, a way of expressing language as an art form filled with meaning. Each piece in this collection is hand-carved by Loveness Lee as a way of practicing Chinese calligraphy in metal, a shared form of expression between two intimate forms of handcraft.
