Item Description

“LIULI” stands for Chinese Glass Art.  

This pendant represents the Year of the Dog. 

1.5" square perforated round crystal pendant on an adjustable braided and woven silk cord tipped with green jade beads. Pendant adjusts from 20-25 inches.

If you or someone you love was born in the year of the dog, or if you are just a dog lover, this intricately cut and signed yellow crystal circle pendant featuring the head of a dog curling into infinity is the good luck amulet for you.

Each LIULI artwork is based on 5,000 years of Chinese culture and tradition, and is inspired by famous Chinese poets, philosophers, artists, and folklores. Our artists uses the ancient art of Lost-Wax Casting,  a 12-step process also known as Pate de verre, which is a two thousand year old technique used during the Han Dynasty to produce Chinese Bronzes.

Every step must be performed without error to prevent breakage, irregular air pockets or impurities. Hence, each sculpture is individually handcrafted and unique. On the underside of every Liuli sculpture, a serial number is engraved by a diamond-tipped tool, making it a limited edition.
