• DESCRIPTION:
Hand carved Yin Yang Charm / Yin Yang Necklace cast in sterling silver by artist and designer Paxton Mobley.

• This original handcrafted yin yang charm can be used as a necklace or to accent a charm bracelet.  The yin yang charm is sold by itself or with a genuine black leather 2mm cord with sterling silver end caps and lobster clasp. All our cast charms, including this sterling silver Tai Chi, Yin Yang charm, are created from original hand carved designs by Paxton and come hand signed by the artist. 

• WHEN ORDERING:
If you are purchasing the charm for a necklace you can choose either the bail (seen example in listing image #1) or o-ring (seen example in listing image #2) as both will work on necklaces. If you are choosing the charm to attach to a bracelet you should only choose the o-ring option.
***If you would like the charm with an O-ring, please choose if you want the o-ring soldered shut or left un-soldered so it can be opened using pliers for attaching to a charm bracelet.

• BAIL SIZE:
The inside diameter of the charm's bail / o-ring is approx. 4mm (5/32"). If you are purchasing this charm to fit on your own necklace or bracelet please take note of the bail / o-rings size and be sure it will fit or let us know if you need it altered (we can always make a custom larger sized bail).

• LARGER SIZE AVAILABLE:
(Please Note: This is a smaller sized charm (one of the listing images shows the charm's size). We also offer a larger pendant size of this design:

• INDIVIDUALLY HANDMADE:
All our sterling silver jewelry is individually handcrafted once an order is placed. Each piece starts out as a wax injection which is refined and cast into sterling silver by Paxton and then silversmithed and finished by his talented wife Marne. All pieces come hand signed by Paxton.

• ABOUT the YIN YANG:
"The yin-yang symbol (also known as the Tai Chi symbol) consists of a circle divided into two halves by a curved line. One half of the circle is black, typically representing the yin side; the other is white, for the yang side. A dot of each color is situated near the center of the other's half. The two halves are thus intertwining across a spiral-like curve that splits the whole into semicircles, and the small dots represent the idea that both sides carry the seed of the other. The white dot in the black area and the black dot in the white area connote coexistence and unity of the opposites to form the whole. The curvy line signifies that there are no absolute separations between the two opposites. The yin-yang symbol, then, embodies both sides: duality, paradox, unity in diversity, change and harmony. The concept of yin-yang has a long history. There are many written records about yin and yang, some dating back to the Yin dynasty (about 1400–1100 BCE) and the Western Zhou dynasty (1100–771 BCE)."
