Art and poetry merge into a magical jewelry object: Petra Waszak designed this magical collier as a tribute to Goethe's poem "Ginkgo Biloba".

The ginkgo design, inspired by the unique, two-part leaf of this extraordinary plant, symbolizes harmony and partnership for thousands of years. This deeply rooted symbolism is underlined by the existence of male and female ginkgo trees. In Asian philosophy, the elegant, aspiring growth form of the ginkgo stands for the yang, which embodies dynamics and vitality. In contrast to this, the fan -shaped leaves represent the yin and stand for gentleness and tenderness.

This collier is not only a piece of jewelry, but also an expression of these powerful dual symbolism that is captured in every piece.

Collier in 925 sterling silver. Format 4 x 4 cm. 3 thin silver -plated stainless steel wires serve as a chain. Planted by 42-47 cm. Due to the elaborate production by hand, the trailers can be slightly different and have a unique character.
