Mahjong Pendant in Sterling Silver| Character Tiles | Lunar New Year Gift
Description
Cut from a vintage Mahjong set we sourced in Hong Kong, this pendant features a tile from the Characters suit. The tile is around 30 years old, made from traditional bone and bamboo, and set in sterling silver with a solid silver back.
About the Characters suit
Characters (also called Cracks or Wan) is one of Mahjong's three numbered suits. Each tile shows a Chinese numeral from one to nine above the red character 萬 (wan), which means ten thousand.
Mahjong in brief
Mahjong began in China in the 1800s and is played with 144 tiles, usually by four players. The aim is to collect a winning hand of sets and runs, so it rewards skill, memory and a little luck.
A good gift for
- People celebrating the Chinese Lunar New Year
