WHO WE ARE
宀, this character is pronounced as”Baoget” 。宀 is a core philosophical symbol born in Hangzhou, Zhejiang. Founded in 2020 by Sien Wang, it takes the character “宀”—which has existed since the Oracle Bone Script period—as its super symbol. It serves both as a metaphor for “home,” representing shelter and belonging, and as a symbol of a “crown,” signifying coronation and elevation.
With the design logic of placing a precious roof atop the head , the brand transforms ancient Chinese architectural elements such as dougong (brackets), zaojing (caisson ceilings), and sunmao (mortise and tenon joints) into the design language of headwear. Inspired by the Three Non-Leakage Studies of Buddhism, the brand has created three jewelry collections: “Śīla (Precepts),” “Samādhi (Meditative Concentration),” and “Prajñā (Wisdom).”
