The Ginkgo leaf carries a large symbolic meaning. In medicine and healthcare both the leaf and the tree itself are attributed life-extending properties. The Ginkgo tree is also significant in Chinese philosophy due to the shape of its leaves – the fan-shaped arrangement of the leaf represents Yin (softness) and Yang (vitality). Ginkgo has also become a symbol of harmony. It is also a symbol of resilience, as shown by the story of the Ginkgo tree that burned during the atomic bombings of Hiroshima in 1945, but quickly recovered with new shoots...
A wonderful insight into German history – beautifully crafted and elegantly designed...
A very well-preserved, unique and collectible piece of jewelry.
