Gui Zhen (Returning to Simplicity) Pendant
Gui Zhen means “returning to simplicity.” This handcrafted pendant combines Ebony Wood with Antique Copper, using restrained materials and visible natural texture to express the Taoist ideal of returning to what is plain and authentic.
The dark wood remains visually close to its natural character, while the copper adds weight and warm metallic contrast. Neither material is highly polished into perfection, allowing the marks of grain and handwork to remain part of the design.
The pendant takes inspiration from the Taoist image of the uncarved block (Pu)—a symbol of original simplicity before excessive shaping, ornament, and desire.
