2016 Marks the Year of the Monkey

Each Chinese calendar year is represented by an animal as part of the zodiac or ‘shengxiao’.

This year 2016 marks the Year of the Monkey and is set to be exceptionally prosperous for those born under this sign.

The Chinese believe the animal ruling one’s birth year has a profound influence on their personality and destiny. It is believed that those born in the Year of the Monkey are quick-witted, charming, lucky, bright, lively and smart.

Solid Gold Diamonds master craftsmen have had the honour of creating a playful heirloom piece to celebrate the Year of the Monkey.

The pendant is set in 18ct yellow gold with eight round brilliant cut white diamonds or 18ct white gold with eight round brilliant cut pink diamonds sitting in the curious monkey’s grip.

According to Chinese tradition gold represents luck and fortune, and diamonds have a long history revered as beautiful objects of desire, holding great meaning in Chinese culture.

The intricate design of the piece represents the finest attributes of the monkey’s character and symbolises its determination for success. This lucky monkey charm will be a constant reminder of your motivation for a triumphant 2016.
