silver qi collection info

The Silver QI Collection is a range of artisan silver jewellery inspired by Chinese culture, Qi energy, and symbolic elements from Buddhism and Taoism. Each piece is designed to be meaningful—combining traditional motifs with modern craftsmanship to create jewellery that connects beauty, intention, and cultural wisdom.

Qi (pronounced “chee”) refers to the vital life force that flows through all beings in Chinese philosophy. In this collection, Qi represents harmony, balance, and inner strength. The designs draw inspiration from this concept, symbolizing positive energy, grounding, and the gentle flow of life.

The collection draws from the depth of Chinese cultural symbolism, Buddhist serenity, and Taoist philosophy. Motifs such as the lotus, the endless knot, yin-yang forms, and protective symbols reflect timeless teachings about harmony, mindfulness, compassion, and natural balance.

Yes. Each piece is thoughtfully researched and designed with respect for its cultural and spiritual origins. The intention is to honour the symbolism—never to misuse it—by presenting each motif with meaning, clarity, and cultural appreciation.

In both Buddhism and Chinese culture, the lotus symbolizes purity, rebirth, spiritual growth, and rising above challenges. It represents the journey of blooming beautifully even from muddy waters—an emblem of hope, transformation, and inner peace.

Depending on the piece, you may find symbols such as:

• Yin-Yang – harmony and balance
• Buddha motifs – peace, compassion, wisdom
• The Endless Knot – unity, protection, interconnectedness
• The Bagua / Eight Trigrams – energy flow, protection, and guidance
• Cloud patterns and dragons – strength, good fortune, and flow
  Each symbol carries its own rich cultural meaning and is presented with intention.

The designs are inspired by philosophies that emphasize balance between mind, body, and spirit. Certain symbols represent protection, grounding, or calmness, while others celebrate growth or wisdom. Wearing these motifs can serve as a personal reminder of the qualities you wish to carry in daily life.

They can be either—or both—depending on the wearer. Some people choose them for their symbolic meaning, while others appreciate the beauty and cultural artistry. Each piece is designed to stand beautifully as jewellery while also offering deeper layers of meaning for those who seek it.

• Store in a dry, closed container or pouch
• Remove before swimming, bathing, or heavy exercise
  Proper care helps preserve shine and avoids oxidation.

Sterling silver naturally develops mild tarnish as it reacts with air and moisture. This is normal and easily cleaned. Regular polishing and proper storage will keep your jewellery bright and beautiful.
