Small Purple Handmade Silk Tassel with Jade Knot

A Chinese knot is tied from a single length of cord carefully woven into a variety of complex shapes—the knots end in tassels, which are used to add elegance to everyday items like hairpins or lanterns. This handmade, purple silk tassel is not only lovely, but has hidden meaning. The central, rounded knot represents completeness and good fortune, and the jade charm symbolizes purity.
