Liming

Inspiration: 21st-Century Amulets

In virtually every culture throughout history, people have worn amulets around their necks: small objects with profound symbolic meaning that serve as reminders of values, beliefs, or desires. The Liming Collection is the contemporary, handcrafted version of this universal tradition, featuring silver-plated metal pendants on vegetable-tanned leather.

The choice of leather as a necklace cord is both philosophical and aesthetic: vegetable-tanned leather possesses the same material honesty as the symbol that hangs from it. It is not an industrially produced costume jewelry chain: it is a natural element that connects with the wearer's skin in the same way that a hemp or natural silk cord would.

Sliding Knot System: Versatile Length

All necklaces in the Liming Collection use two sliding knots that allow you to adjust the length of the necklace completely freely. From a short choker to a long necklace that falls over the chest, the same necklace can be worn in multiple ways depending on the neckline or your mood. An important warning: To put on and take off the necklace, never bring the two knots together—it will be very difficult to separate them again—always slide one knot towards each end to open the necklace.

Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)

How does the sliding knot system of Liming necklaces work?

The Liming necklace consists of a leather strap with two sliding knots that can be slid towards the center to shorten the necklace or towards the ends to lengthen it. To put on the necklace, slide the two knots towards the ends to open the necklace as much as possible, slip it over your head, and slide the knots towards the center to the desired length. To take it off, open the knots again. Never bring them together: they will get stuck.

Can the pendants in the Liming Collection be changed?

The pendants are attached to the leather with a closed jump ring that is not designed to be opened. Each necklace comes with the pendant pre-installed and is not intended for interchangeable pendants. If you want a different pendant, the best option is to buy another Liming necklace with the symbol of your choice: the affordable price (starting at €8) makes collecting several perfectly reasonable.

Is the Liming Collection for men, women, or unisex?

The Liming Collection is completely unisex. Models with anchors, triskeles, Buddha, arrowheads, and surfboards are especially popular among men. Models with butterflies, irregular stars, hearts, and dragonflies are more popular among women. Models with feathers, whale tails, and horseshoes are equally popular with both genders.

What length is best for a Liming necklace?

The ideal length depends on the neckline: with a V-neck or V-neck top, the pendant looks great in the center of the neckline (medium length). With crew-neck t-shirts, it looks good as a choker (short length). For men, a low choker length is most common: just above the collarbone or on the upper chest.
