A new version of the Eight Immortals… When I showed this bracelet to a friend she asked me why the maker would have made such an unusual variation of the traditional Immortals bracelet…

The eight panels of this bracelet are triangles -curved and tapered.
My first thought was that many of the Chinese silver ornaments that we have photographed are made by great craftsmen. But some of the great craftsmen are also artists… and artists are driven to create something new…
I feel very lucky to have found this piece!
