RE: That Chinese Heirloom Dragon Phoenix gold bracelet

These bracelets should come in pairs, given to brides on her wedding day. I imagine someone else in your family has the other one? Have you ever seen the traditional Chinese wedding gown where the sleeves are 3/4 length to show off all the gold jewellery the bride may receive? I posted about mine years ago if you're interested.

Also, did you know there are 7 different words for aunty in Chinese, making it very clear on how they're related to you. Only your mother's older/younger brother's wife have the same name. All other aunties have different names, and dama not being one of them 😀

Wow, you look gorgeous in that red sequined qua @livinguktaiwan
I know of a close related, yet estranged, Aunt living in Milwaukee when we lost contact with them since just before my father passed away in an accident.
She has two boys but ended up divorced after several years. If there is a second bracelet, I bet she or one of her sons have it.
My bracelet can be proof to her sons of our relationship.
My Grandmother was willing to teach me Cantonese many years ago, I regret not taking her up on it. I was never clear on how to address my Asian relatives properly.
Thanks ❤️
