The double gourd, known as _hulu_, appears in traditional imagery connected with longevity, including the attributes of Daoist immortals. Together, these motifs offer a decorative expression of steadfastness and wishes for a long, fulfilling life. The blue-green gourds and slender bamboo leaves reinterpret these familiar forms as contemporary jewelry. Wear them as a personal reminder of resilience or choose them as a meaningful gift for someone who appreciates Chinese design. ## Frequently asked questions ### Are the entire earrings sterling silver?
