Hanzi Birthstone Collection

Inspired by the beauty, elegance and graceful character writing of the Chinese and Japanese languages.

The first signs of these beautiful artistic symbols date back as early as 57 A.D. Chinese characters were originally incorporated into the Japanese writing system through official document seals, letters, swords, coins, mirrors and other decorative items imported from China to Japan. It is thought that there are about 50,000 Hanzi characters in existence today. These imported logo graphic Chinese marks remain in the form of the divinely unique and delicately distinctive Japanese written word.

Cynthia Gale New York Hanzi Birthstone Charms creatively combine the ancient tradition of Far East line and form in sterling silver with semiprecious birthstones to create personalized Chinese symbol pendants that can be collected and cherished for generations to come.
