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
