Hand-Knotted with Care in Texas

緣起Our Story

Time, made into something you can hold.

A handmade gift is precious for one simple reason: someone chose to spend their time on you. Every Ginkgo & Knot bracelet is knotted by hand, one cord at a time, at a small workbench in our backyard in Texas.

Each one is tied to a blessing card (a single character, a single wish) so the meaning travels with the bracelet.

The backyard workbench: a knotting stand holding a blessing card, spools of purple and rainbow cord, scissors and a stamped cotton pouch.

銀杏 Ginkgo

One of the oldest trees on earth. It has endured for millions of years and still turns to gold every autumn: a sign of resilience, long life and hope.

結 Knot

In Chinese tradition, a knot holds a good wish in place. To tie one for someone is to say: this was made for you.

十二祝福Twelve Blessings

Twelve cards, twelve wishes.

Every bracelet arrives on one of twelve blessing cards. The ginkgo is cut right through, so it glows when you hold the card up to the light. Tap a card to see it up close.

Made to be kept

The bracelet is worn; the card is kept. Each one is punched for hanging, so you can string them along a wall or slip one into a favorite book as a bookmark. Collect all twelve, and give the ones you love most.
