Coil Shawl Pin by JUL Designs

Ring: 32mm (1.25") inside diameter
Stick: 115mm (4.5") in length
The Coil Shawl Pin is elegant and sleek, with a timeless design that is at once ancient and contemporary. The ripples in the stick ensure it will hold onto the knitwear, diminishing the possibility that it will get lost as well as allowing it to nest comfortably in the ring of the Coil Shawl Stick it was designed to accompany. The coil shawl pin ring is closely based on a Hmong earring from the Golden Triangle which constitutes Thailand, Myanmar, Laos, and Vietnam. For the Hmong, silversmithing is a male occupation but it represents women's wealth. Silver is passed down from mother to daughter. Daughters take their jewellery with them when they marry and it remains their exclusive property for their entire lives. During festivals and ceremonies, women adorn themselves so heavily in silver a woman's wealth can be discerned just by looking at her. The spiral motifs in the coil stick and shawl pin are associated with infinite time, endless movement, and boundless energy.
