Product Description

The Black Ebony Ring Pendant represents the harmonious union of contrasting elements. This piece features a classic "Donut" shape, hand-carved from dense black ebony and inlaid with a striking band of brass. Notably, both the wood and the brass feature a unique handmade texture, creating a rugged, organic tactile experience that feels ancient and grounded.

Embracing the philosophy of natural authenticity, true Black Ebony ranges in color from deep brown to a distinguished black-purple or warm yellow-brown. We ship randomly based on natural availability. The wood is nourished with Tung tree oil, which may carry a faint scent initially but will dissipate after a few days. The brass element adds a touch of golden warmth but requires care to maintain its shine.

Meaning and Significance

In Taoist symbolism, the perfect circle (圆) represents the "Tao", the infinite cycle of nature, wholeness, and eternal flow. The combination of Black Ebony (wood/earth) and Brass (metal) embodies the balance of Yin and Yang: the wood offers grounding stability, while the metal conducts spiritual clarity and light. Together, this pendant serves as a talisman for:

• Wholeness & Harmony
• Grounding Energy & Peace
• Balance of Yin and Yang

Care

To preserve the spirit of this artifact, please keep it dry. Avoid water and humidity to prevent the wood from swelling and the brass from oxidizing (rusting). We recommend a daily ritual of rubbing the wood surface with your hands or a soft cloth. This interaction will prevent the brass from tarnishing and help the wood develop a glossy, dark patina over time, deepening the bond between the pendant and its owner.
