K-Heritage Mother-Of-Pearl Lacquer Bookmark

Mother-of-Pearl Lacquerware Bookmark – Korean Heritage-Inspired Design

Discover timeless elegance with our handcrafted Mother-of-Pearl Lacquerware Bookmark, a refined tribute to Korea’s rich artistic heritage. Inspired by the exquisite designs of the Joseon Dynasty, this bookmark is delicately inlaid with natural mother-of-pearl and embodies traditional Korean symbols of prosperity, longevity, and cultural beauty.

Symbolic Motifs with Deep Meaning

Each bookmark is adorned with ten intricate motifs, each carrying unique symbolism and spiritual meaning:

• Moon Rabbit: A celestial figure pounding rice cake under the moon, symbolizing hope and heartfelt wishes.

• Moon Jar: A snow-white porcelain jar representing fullness, purity, and the elegant simplicity of Korean beauty.

• Maebyeong: A traditional vessel used since the Goryeo period, reflecting timeless Korean ceramic artistry.

• Peach: A classical emblem of immortality and lasting vitality.

• Brush Holder & Scroll: Representing scholarly pursuits, wisdom, and the blessings of knowledge and longevity.

• Chest Pattern (Crane): A dignified motif from official attire symbolizing good fortune and nobility.

• Bamboo: Signifies integrity, resilience, and the scholarly mind.

• Peony: Known as the “King of Flowers,” it denotes honor, wealth, and elegance.

• Ilwol Obongdo: A royal screen painting of the sun, moon, and five mountain peaks, symbolizing power, protection, and royal authority.

One-of-a-Kind Craftsmanship

No two bookmarks are alike. Due to the natural properties of mother-of-pearl, each piece displays a distinct pattern, texture, and iridescence. Some may appear to have a raised surface, but this is an optical illusion created by the unique shine and layering of the mother-of-pearl—it remains smooth to the touch.
