Periphery

A timeless classic.

Periphery (山外) is a handcrafted affordable jewelry line featuring Chinese hair sticks (发簪), bridal jewelry, seed bead bracelets, and other accessories. Each pedal is drawn, cut, and sealed by hand, ensuring no two pieces are identical — just like how you can never find two flowers that are exactly the same.

Drawing inspiration from the magnificent nature and the profound Chinese culture, Periphery’s jewelry is the perfect present for birthdays, weddings, anniversaries, and other moments of celebration.

What is a Chinese Hair Stick: Fa Zan

In ancient China, girls turning 15 receive their first hairpin during a special hairdo ceremony (及笄礼), marking their transition from girlhood into adulthood. Hairpins are feminine jewelry deeply connected with the female psyche, including love, self-affirmation, and motherhood.

Traditionally, hairpins are often gifted to a woman by her father, sisters, friends, husband, and even their children. It is considered the gift of utmost affection, showing them respect, adoration, and admiration.
