Final work Ring / Incense Burner Designed as a miniature incense burner, this hand-forged ring functions as both an ornament and a symbolic tool. Its hollow form references vessels used in traditional Buddhist practice. A turquoise inlay at the base bears a blessing motif, combining material and ritual in a single wearable form. Ear Hook / Incense Spoon The hand-forged ear hook is shaped after the traditional incense spoon, reinterpreted as a piece of wearable ritual. Though it does not carry incense, its form recalls the gesture of offering. It rests lightly near the face, establishing a quiet connection between daily adornment and ceremonial memory. Necklace / Incense Beads Composed of 108 hand-formed herbal incense beads, this necklace serves both as a meditative tool and a statement accessory. At its center lies an infinity symbol in sterling silver, inlaid with turquoise, symbolizing eternal blessings and the continuity of spiritual devotion. The piece also can be hang on a vase or a figure of Buddha. Collar hook / Incense sweep This multi-functional piece serves as both an incense brush and a collar hook, designed to be worn at the neckline.
