Featuring eight small beads, the Ba Fa hoop earrings are a small token wishing for good fortune.
The Yuan Yuan Collection draws inspiration from Chinese numerology and cultural symbolism. Specific numbers are regarded as lucky because of their similar pronunciation to other words. The number eight (八, bā in Mandarin, baat in Cantonese) is considered an auspicious number for its homophonous qualities to 发 / 發 (fā in Mandarin; baat in Cantonese) which means to obtain wealth.
