The Double Fish Playing Lotus Necklace

In traditional Chinese culture, the koi fish holds rich symbolic meanings. Firstly, the koi fish, with its colorful appearance and graceful swimming posture, has long been regarded as a symbol of good fortune and prosperity. Renowned for its strong swimming abilities and the legend of leaping over the Dragon Gate, the koi symbolizes success and progress. According to legend, only through strenuous efforts can the koi successfully leap over the Dragon Gate and transform into a dragon. This tale imbues the koi with the spiritual symbolism of resilience, courage, and perseverance. People view the koi as a role model for striving diligently and fearlessly in the face of difficulties, encouraging themselves to forge ahead.

The Double Fish Playing Lotus Necklace is crafted from 925 silver, employing techniques such as blue firing, painting, gold plating, and more to depict the playful interaction between two fish and a lotus flower. This design embodies a popular Chinese homophonic expression, where 'fish' (鱼) sounds like 'surplus' (余), and 'lotus' (莲) sounds like 'continuous' (连), symbolizing surplus and continuous prosperity ('连年有余'). This concept represents the Chinese aspiration for a bountiful life. The artistic representation of fish playing among lotus leaves conveys worldly wishes through the beauty of nature, bringing endless joy and abundance to the wearer.
