1,000 Paper Cranes

With the start of Aroc Urtu, I Do – our new bridal jewelry collection, I’ve been thinking about weddings a lot and the many symbols that have become significant in various wedding traditions. One that I find particularly beautiful is the folded paper crane.

Cranes have always occupied a special place in Asian history and culture. Cranes are considered auspicious and symbolize longevity & good health. It is believed that cranes mate for life and both male & female work together to build their nest. Thus, cranes may be the perfect wedding symbol. They say that if you fold 1000 paper cranes, then your heart’s desire will come true.
