TRADITION REIMAGINED

Chinese Zodiac Story

The story goes that a race was organized by the Jade Emperor - one of the most important gods in traditional Chinese religion - who invited all the animals in the world to take part. Twelve species turned up at the start line: a pig, dog, rooster, monkey, sheep, horse, snake, dragon, rabbit, tiger, ox and rat. As a reward for turning up, the Emperor named a year in the zodiac after each one, while the race would determine the order each animal would be placed. 

Each charm is engraved in our workshop and strung with a piece of red nylon, to pay tribute to the traditional Chinese amulet for good luck, a tradition reimagined through the eyes of a 6 years old animal lover and illustrator Jeane Halim.
