A gourd for a boat—This necklace was made for the ones who are ready to set sail.

Inspired by one of the world’s most legendary travelers—a plant, yes, a plant—that crossed oceans before humans even knew how: the hulu, or bottle gourd.
Long before ships crossed oceans, this plant did. Originating in Africa, it floated across vast seas by current alone, reaching other continents in prehistoric times—before humans had the tools to follow. And it found roots in every culture it touched.
Its journey is quite a miracle: no sails, no tools, yet it still arrived.

In myth or science, the gourd carries the power of crossing, surviving, and beginning again.
In Eastern mythology, the immortal Tieguai Li tossed his gourd into the sea and stepped onto it, gliding across the waves. It’s a story about magic—
but even more so, about making magic when there’s no clear path.
It’s about trying the impossible, and the audacity to believe:
You don’t need a perfect vessel to move forward.
Even without a way, you can be the way.

This necklace is made of that same fearless spirit.
Soft greens and honey pinks reflect Water and Fire in harmony,
while its Five Element core—Earth—grounds and protects.
Suits for moments of inner turbulence or when you’re stepping into the unknown.

Wear it when your soul feels restless.

Let this gourd be your vessel.
May it carry you across the uncharted water between who you are—and where you’re meant to be.
