[QUOTE="Any Jewelry, post: 583036, member: 2844"]Gorgeous, Shangas.:) But it is not a Peranakan style I know. Given the very controlled spacing of the motifs, and the fact that the motifs are both cherry blossoms and three-leaved clovers, I think it is Japanese. The three-leaved clover is a Japanese symbol of happiness, the cherry blossom is the symbol of death and rebirth or renewal. The phoenix is a feminine symbol in Japan just like in China.[/QUOTE]
