Product Description
The Black Ebony Wood Grain Bead Pendant captures the raw, unrefined beauty of the natural world. This piece features dense Black Ebony inlaid with a striking band of brass. Notably, both the wood and the brass feature a unique handmade texture that highlights the authentic grain of the wood.
Please note that true Black Ebony is a living material and is rarely pitch black. The natural color spectrum ranges from deep brown to a distinguished black-purple in older wood, or a warm yellow-brown in younger wood. We ship randomly based on natural availability, ensuring that every pendant is a unique gift from nature. The wood surface is nourished with a layer of Tung tree oil to promote longevity and luster; this may carry a faint, natural scent upon arrival which will dissipate after a few days of wear.
Meaning and Significance
In Taoist philosophy, wood represents growth, vitality, and the upward movement of Qi. Black Ebony, specifically, is revered as a "Spirit Wood" known for its dense energy and grounding properties. The visible wood grain on this pendant serves as a meditation on "The Way of Nature" (道法自然), symbolizing the organic flow of life, unforced and resilient. Together, this pendant becomes a potent charm for:
- Grounding & Stability
- Protection from Negative Energy
- Natural Harmony & Simplicity
Whether worn as a spiritual amulet or a bold statement piece, the Black Ebony Wood Grain Bead Pendant offers a fusion of mythology, craftsmanship, and metaphysical symbolism.
Care
This piece is designed to evolve with you. Avoid water and humidity to prevent the wood from swelling and the brass from oxidizing (rusting). To maintain the wood's deep, dark luster, we recommend frequently rubbing the surface with your hands or a soft cloth. Over time, this interaction will build a beautiful, shiny patina, deepening the bond between the artifact and its owner.
