Chinese knotted tassels are used to add elegance to everyday items like hairpins or lanterns. They often hold sentimental value, and are passed down through families for generations. In ancient times lovers sometimes gave knots as tokens of their love. This small grey tassel is decorated with an agate bead, and is handmade from the finest silk thread. It also has what’s called a “mystic knot” with an endless pattern representing the cyclical nature of life.
