In reality, what in the West is considered to be Chinese New Year is the spring festival or lunar new year and is also celebrated in Korea, Mongolia, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam, Taiwan and Japan. In the East, in fact, a lunisolar calendar is used for this type of festivities: the months begin in conjunction with each new moon. As mentioned, for this reason the starting date of the first month, and of the new year, can vary by about 29 days, between 21 January and 19 February of the western calendar. But that won’t stop you from wearing mouse-inspired jewelry, and especially Mickey Mouse.

The year of the dog is started, according to Chinese astrology. And you can celebrate with a jewel ♦ ︎
For the Chinese, it’s Spring festivity. But it is also the new year of the moon. A concept that Westerners did not understand well and then called the Chinese New Year holiday, assimilating it to what is celebrated on January 1st. The Chinese one, however, does not always fall on the same date: in 2018, for example, the Chinese New Year is 16 February. The date, in fact, depends on the new moon and therefore the date varies between January 21st and February 19th. Among other things, in addition to China is also a feast in Korea, Mongolia, Singapore, Malaysia, Nepal, Bhutan, Vietnam and Japan, as well as in Chinese communities around the world. With the new year, the astrological sign that according to tradition will influence the next 12 months also changes. The Chinese horoscope assigns the character of an animal each year. In order, they are Topo, Buffalo, Tiger, Rabbit, Dragon, Snake, Horse, Goat, Monkey, Rooster, Dog and Pig. For 2018, for example, is the year of the dog. And, of course, many jewelers have decided to dedicate their jewel to the this pet. Here are some. Cosimo Muzzano

The Rooster’s jewels

Roberto Coin, anello per l'anno del Gallo

The year of the Rooster Fire celebrated from jewelry: rings and pins dedicated to the sign of Chinese astrology.
You were born in 1933 or 1945, 1957, 1969, 1981, 1993, 2005? In this case you should wear one of these jewels. Because 2017 is, as the years over listed, with the sign of the Rooster, according to Chinese astrology. Indeed, better, the current year is the Rooster Fire. In Chinese astrology, in fact, every year Zodiac is associated with an animal, but at the same time, one of five elements: gold, wood, water, fire, earth. In this case, Gallo and Fire. Do not miss this opportunity, because the next combination of the two elements will take place only between 60 years. As with all the different astrologie (there will be one that guess that fate? who knows), also the chinese associates certain characteristics to those who belong to a particular sign. In the case of the Fire Rooster, people born under this combination would be very punctual and have great responsibility in the workplace. But beware: enjoy yourself with a jewel is also necessary for another reason. Also according to the astrologers of Beijing and surroundings, the year which marks its sign is particularly unfortunate. And if the bad luck looms, maybe a jewel in the shape of a rooster will keep her away. Giulia Netrese
