The double gourd, known as \u003cem\u003ehulu\u003c\/em\u003e, 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.\u003c\/p\u003e\u003cp\u003eThe blue-green gourds and slender bamboo leaves reinterpret these familiar forms as contemporary jewelry.
