Beaded Double Happiness

Double Happiness (simplified Chinese: 双喜; traditional Chinese: 雙喜; sometimes translated as Double Joy or Double Happy) is a Chinese ornamental design commonly used as a decoration.

It is a ligature "囍" composed of two Chinese characters 喜 (joy), compressed to assume the square shape of a standard Chinese character (much like a real character may consist of two parts), and often modified in various ways.

The shuāngxi motif often appears on decorative items associated weddings, often found all over the wedding ceremony, as well as on gift items given to the bride and groom. The color of the character is usually red, occasionally in other colors.
