A reminder to treasure your time
The name “An Inch of Gold” draws on the Chinese proverb “An inch of time is worth an inch of gold.” It expresses the idea that time is as precious as gold, a quiet reminder to cherish the moments you spend practising calligraphy, painting and creating.
About the name and material: “An Inch of Gold” is a poetic model name, not a statement of size or material. This paperweight is made of brass, not gold. Its actual length is 12 cm.
A steady companion for brushwork
Place the paperweight on the edge of your sheet to help hold it steady while you work with a brush and ink. The understated design keeps your workspace uncluttered and suits both beginner practice and everyday use.
