Ginkgo leaf ring, 925 sterling silver

The ginkgo is revered as a lucky charm full of mythical powers and has its origins in Asia. There, thanks to its symbolic power, it can be found in many temples. Its resilience and adaptability is fascinating:
The tree can live for over 1000 years and its species is said to have even survived the Ice Age. The division of its leaves into two parts represents Yin and Yang in Chinese philosophy - so the Ginkgo leaf is not only used as a lucky charm that reminds us of our own inner strength, but also as a mediator between our male and female aspects and to find inner balance. This characteristic is even reflected in its Latin name Ginkgo biloba = two-lobed.
