The design of the Kanas Necklace is deeply inspired by a stunning natural spectacle along the shores of Kanas Lake in Burqin County, Altay, Xinjiang, China—known as the "Eye of Kanas." This natural wonder, formed by an island surrounded by crystal-clear waters, resembles a watchful eye gazing upon the world, with ever-changing colors and mesmerizing clarity. According to legend, it is the embodiment of a lake deity, protecting the tranquility and abundance of the lake, and has become a sacred symbol for the local people. The Kanas Necklace pays homage to this extraordinary natural phenomenon and its cultural significance, encapsulating its mystery and blessings within its design.
The necklace is crafted from high-quality elastic materials, ensuring it retains its original shape even after long periods of wear, making each wear as perfect as the first. Adorning the necklace are custom-made, gradient-sized beads—a reflection of the designer’s meticulous craftsmanship. These beads not only add visual depth to the necklace but also sway gently with the wearer’s movements, as if composing a lively melody around the neck, turning every movement into a dynamic and graceful scene.
