Design Inspiration

Drawing inspiration from the Chinese idiom “如鱼得水” (Rú Yú Dé Shuǐ), which literally means “like a fish in water,” this hairpin encapsulates the essence of flourishing in an ideal environment. In traditional Chinese culture, fish symbolize abundance and prosperity, while water represents adaptability and fluidity. Metaphysically, the combination of fish and water is believed to attract positive energy, promoting smooth progress in one’s career, relationships, and personal endeavors. This design aims to infuse the wearer with a sense of ease and success—gliding through life’s currents with fortune by their side.


Craftsmanship Details

Masterfully handcrafted, the hairpin features a finely sculpted silver fish, with each scale delicately etched to mimic the natural shimmer of fish skin. The fish’s body curves elegantly, capturing the dynamic grace of movement. Beside it, the flowing water motif is created using an intricate filigree technique—silver wires meticulously woven into undulating waves. The fish is connected via a hidden hinge, allowing it to sway gently, creating the illusion of a fish swimming through water. A multi-step polishing process enhances the luster of the silver, bringing the vivid design to life with a radiant finish.


Material Quality

Primarily crafted from high-quality 925 sterling silver—renowned for its durability and anti-tarnish properties—this hairpin is built to last. The silver is hypoallergenic, ensuring comfort for prolonged wear. To add depth and contrast, the water motif is accented with hand-applied translucent blue enamel, symbolizing clarity and flow while enhancing the piece’s visual dimension. The base is made from a strong yet lightweight alloy, ensuring stability without placing excessive weight on the hair.


Stylistic Features

Blending traditional Chinese symbolism with modern minimalism, this hairpin radiates timeless elegance. The sleek silhouette of the fish and the fluid motion of the water motif strike a harmonious balance. Its understated yet meaningful design makes it suitable for both formal and casual occasions. Whether styled with a traditional qipao to celebrate cultural heritage or paired with contemporary business attire for a touch of auspiciousness, the piece serves as a refined statement of style and symbolism.


Versatile Applications

Designed for everyday versatility, this hairpin adds a graceful accent to office outfits, casual outings, or social gatherings—imbuing each moment with a quiet sense of confidence and charm. As a gift, it carries heartfelt meaning—perfect for colleagues starting new careers, friends pursuing fresh ventures, or loved ones in need of good luck and encouragement. The “Swimming in Fortune” hairpin by TAOÉ is more than just an accessory—it is a wearable symbol of prosperity, adaptability, and the art of flowing through life with grace.

How to Care for Bodhi Bead Bracelets?

Bodhi beads, crafted from natural seeds or wood, develop a lustrous patina over time with mindful care. Follow these guidelines to preserve their beauty:

1. Gentle Cleaning

Wipe beads with asoft, lint - free clothregularly to remove dust and oils. Avoid chemicals, soaps, or wet cleaning—moisture can warp wood - based beads or damage seed textures. For stubborn dirt, use a dry bamboo brush (gentle bristles prevent scratches).

2. Mindful Handling

Handle beads withclean, dry handsto prevent dirt buildup and preserve the patina. When “polishing through gentle rubbing” (a traditional practice), use consistent, light pressure—this enhances the natural sheen without straining the string. Rotate beads periodically to ensure even aging.

3. Humidity & Temperature Control

Bodhi is sensitive to extreme conditions:

  • Avoid dry environments (e.g., air - conditioned rooms, heaters) to prevent cracking. A small humidifier or storing with a damp cotton pad (separated by cloth) can help maintain moisture balance.
  • Prevent excess humidity (bathrooms, rainy weather) to avoid mold or discoloration. Let beads air - dry completely if exposed to water.

4. Smart Storage

Store bracelets in asoft pouch or jewelry boxto shield from scratches and dust. Keep them separate from metal or stone jewelry—hard materials can abrade the delicate bodhi surface. For long - term storage, wrap in acid - free tissue to prevent oxidation.

5. Avoid Harmful Exposure

  • Keep away from sharp objects (e.g., bag zippers, keys) that may chip beads.
  • Limit direct sunlight or strong artificial light—UV rays fade colors and dry out the natural material.

By following these steps, your bodhi bracelet will retain its elegance and develop a rich, personal patina that tells the story of your care.

Basic Cleaning

  • Mix warm water with mild soap, then gently scrub the surface with a soft brush (e.g., a child’s toothbrush) to remove stains, focusing on crevices.
  • Dry immediately with a soft cloth to prevent mineral deposits (especially at the contact points between Tiger's Eye and metal components).

Key Taboos

  • ❌ Avoid ultrasonic cleaners or steam cleaning: Natural fractures in Tiger's Eye may expand under vibration or high heat.
  • ❌ Keep away from acidic/alkaline substances (e.g., perfume, cosmetics, cleaning agents): Chemicals can corrode the surface and dull its luster.

2. Daily Wear: Avoid Hidden Damage

Collision & Scratch Prevention

  • With a Mohs hardness of 6.5–7, Tiger's Eye is durable but vulnerable to hard impacts (e.g., metal, stone). Take care with edges and corners.
  • Remove during sports or heavy lifting to avoid cracks (internal fractures may be invisible but weake...
