Year of the Snake
The Lunar New Year is an exciting time of new prospects. Each Zodiac animal brings its own characteristics, providing a fresh approach to prosperity. 2025 is the Year of the Snake.
The snake is an often under-appreciated creature seen by many as sneaky, calculating, and treacherous. However, snakes also have an undeniable beauty. Their elegant structure makes them a popular design in Chinese jewellery, each snake painstakingly carved into jade pendants and charms.
Elegance is a huge theme in the Lunar New Year aesthetic. You can see it in the careful gold swirls of calligraphy, in the bold red lanterns, in the shiny silk cheongsam and even in the crimped edges of dumplings. The new year is a time of joy and celebration, and having beautiful objects all around promotes fortune for the months ahead.
