Four Seasons Shell-Inlay Bookmarks — Set of 4

Four handmade bookmarks from Beihai, China, for someone who loves books.

For a reader who notices the small details, give four seasonal designs made with wood and natural shell. Spring Dawn, Summer Lotus, Autumn Hues, and Winter Resonance each bring a different scene to the page.

Give the complete set to someone who always has a book nearby. They can choose a season for each book or keep the four designs together as a small collection. The seasonal names and shell craft from Beihai offer a way to share a little of China through an object they can use.

Includes four bookmarks—Spring Dawn, Summer Lotus, Autumn Hues and Winter Resonance—and four tassels, one for each bookmark. Each bookmark measures 2 × 15 × 0.2 cm. The 15 cm length refers to the wooden body and excludes the tassel. Materials: wood and natural shell.

The shell-inlay elements are made from natural shell. Each shell is considered individually for its colour, lustre, grain, and shape, then finely ground, polished, shaped, and assembled by hand. The visible colours are the shells’ own natural colours, not applied colour.

Each piece is hand-finished by an artisan with more than fifteen years of shell-inlay experience. Because no two shells are identical, natural variations in colour, texture, and pattern make every finished work slightly different.

Handle with care. Avoid impact, pressure, friction, water, and prolonged damp conditions. For orders to the United States, estimated preparation time is 3 business days after payment is confirmed.
