Silver Floral River – Vintage Silk Kimono Silver Bangle / 流水柄のバングル
 
This elegant bangle is handcrafted in London from vintage Japanese kimono silk, carefully sourced by Risa from trusted artisans across Japan.
 
The design features the refined Silver Floral River (流水柄) motif, enriched with traditional Japanese auspicious symbols:

流水（flowing water） represents purity, protection, and the cleansing of misfortune, as well as continuous prosperity and an unbroken flow of good fortune.
鴨（ducks） symbolise harmony, balance, and marital happiness, often associated with lifelong partnership and emotional unity.
水仙（narcissus / daffodil） represents longevity, renewal, and auspicious fortune, as it blooms gracefully in the cold winter season, symbolising resilience, refined intellect, and noble beauty.
菊（chrysanthemum） is a sacred emblem of longevity, protection from negativity, emotional stability, and nobility, long regarded as one of the most important imperial and celebratory motifs in Japanese culture.

Together, these elements form a harmonious composition of flowing nature, seasonal beauty, and deeply rooted symbolism, expressed through soft silver tones and delicate textile movement.
