The national flower of Japan, the cherry blossom – or Sakura, represents a time of renewal and optimism. The pops of pink mark the ending of winter and signify the beginning of spring. Due to their quick blooming season, cherry blossoms also symbolize the transience of life, a major theme in Buddhism.

Cherry blossoms’ magnificent but brief lifespan, falling a couple of weeks after full bloom, reminds people that similar to the delicate white-pink flowers a human’s life is also short and beautiful.

Additionally, fallen cherry blossom petals represent the souls of Japanese samurais with a noble character, who were known not to fear death, and who were killed while sacrificing their lives for the emperor.

 Today I want to present you an amazing one of a kind cuff bracelet. In the center I have set natural Imperial Jasper (which is my favourite). The sides are adorned with hand-pierced cherry blossom branches and 24K gold flowers (keum boo technique). 

Sturdy but easy to shape to your needs.
