Inspired by Mahjong Heritage and Innovation

Nicole Wong’s recent Vogue article has ignited a creative energy at Gehazi.

For decades, we’ve been passionately designing mahjong-themed jewelry—from earrings and necklaces to pins, zipper pulls, bracelets, and watches. Our creations have beautifully bridged cultures, connecting retail and wholesale enthusiasts from every U.S. state to Canada, Mexico, Europe, Australia, and beyond.


A Legacy Beyond Trends

Our journey began in the early 1990s when we first uncovered the magic of translating a traditional game into wearable art. Over the years, our work has adorned everything from celebrity gift bags to museum collections and boutique retail stores.


What motivates us? It’s the realization that mahjong isn’t merely a fleeting trend—it’s a living tradition, a vessel for cultural storytelling, and a catalyst for community bonding. Wong’s reflective exploration in Vogue, coupled with the warmth of her book Mahjong: House Rules from Across the Asian Diaspora, beautifully affirms that the game is a gateway to family history, personal identity, and a shared future.


Re-invigorations for Gehazi 

Beautiful blue faceted glass beads paired with sterling silver created this harmoniously toned look with a little flair in the crystal-spiked pendant. The necklace features a smaller mahjong themed bead with a mahjong symbol for No. 9, and a larger one representing the direction east. The necklace is durable, sophisticated and fun. This one-of-a-kind necklace is 21" long with a 3" drop.

Channeling this spirit of heritage and reinvention, we’re dusting off some of our most inspired mahjong accessory ideas to breathe fresh life into the Gehazi Collections this fall. Our upcoming designs honor the classic elements of the game while pushing boundaries with contemporary flair. We invite you to dive into Wong’s article, explore her rich narratives on cultural legacy, and join us by signing up for an exclusive first look at our new collection—a true celebration where tradition meets modern design.

We love adding a hint of fun and a little whimsy to fashion. That is exactly what you will find in this delightful 21" mahjong necklace. It features tropical and festive hues of orange and blue. In addition to the glass beads, the necklace contains Swarovski crystals and sterling silver. The dangle features a bone bead with a craved symbol of a mahjong green dragon! This, as with all our items, is one of a kind.

This evolution isn’t just about new products; it’s about honoring the deep-rooted cultural and familial connections that mahjong fosters. As we reimagine these accessories, we’re inspired to spark conversations, evoke memories, and connect communities worldwide.
