Carefully selected is the auspicious Red Jasper "Plain Pendant" (symbolizing peace and safety), adorned with a Sakura Agate "ring," enamel (lantern, ruyi), and a golden butterfly (representing good fortune). These elements are intricately crafted into a stunning centerpiece, exuding opulence and grandeur. The necklace chain is designed with Red Jade (for spirituality and wealth), White Crystal Pan Chang knots (for endless blessings), the Six-Syllable Mantra (for wisdom), and Rutile Quartz (for tranquility and focus). Each gemstone is of the highest quality, exceptionally beautiful, and showcases unique craftsmanship. The harmonious interplay of red, orange, gold, and white not only signifies good fortune but also creates a rare and precious piece imbued with spiritual energy, wisdom, and prosperity. **This is a one-of-a-kind creation, awaiting its discerning owner.** **Red Jasper** Red Jasper is a relatively new jade variety, yet its geological age spans hundreds of millions of years. It is primarily found in South Africa and Guilin, China. South African Red Jasper, influenced by the subtropical climate and geological events like orogeny and volcanic eruptions, is superior in quality, spiritual energy, and value, possessing significant aesthetic, investment, and collection appeal. Its vibrant red color is considered auspicious, symbolizing great fortune and signifying smooth sailing in all endeavors and the transformation of misfortune into good luck. Composed mainly of silicon dioxide (SiO2) and quartz, South African Red Jasper is tough and well-suited for carving. With a hardness of 6.7, it is resistant to wear, acid, alkali, and weathering. The texture of Red Jasper is lustrous and magnificent, often featuring auspicious patterns like cloud-dragon, landscape, or wave motifs, offering a rich visual experience to be savored. **Plain Pendant (Wu Shi Pai)** During the late Ming Dynasty, jade pendants with "plain" surfaces became highly popular. Taking advantage of the homophone, these were known as "Wu Shi Pai" (literally "no-thing pendant"), also implying "peace and safety." They served as talismans for people seeking peace and health. **Agate** Agate, also known as "Yu Sui," is primarily composed of silicon dioxide from volcanic eruptions. As one of the more abundant gemstones in the Earth's crust, it is among the oldest known gemstones. When volcanic eruptions occurred, silica melt entered the gas pores of lava or rock fissures, depositing layer upon layer to form banded agate (finely banded agate is called "silkworm agate"). When the deposits are in a spotted pattern, resembling snowflakes, it is commonly known as "Sakura Agate." Agate is composed of various colors (mineral hues) and can form in concentric circles, wavy patterns, layers, or parallel bands, leading to the saying, "A thousand types of agate, ten thousand kinds of jade." Agate symbolizes stable energy, capable of calming emotions, soothing anxiety, enhancing vitality and vigor, strengthening one's aura and magnetic field, attracting positive energy and good luck, and boosting fortune. It can also enhance creativity and inspiration during the creative process. With its wide range of colors, agate corresponds to the seven chakras of the human body, making it a precious and beautiful gem with both historical value and functional properties. **Rutile Quartz** Rutile Quartz, also known as Red Quartz or Venus Hair Crystal, contains fine needle-like inclusions (such as tourmaline, actinolite, asbestos, or rutile) within the crystal, resembling rabbit fur. It is an expensive variety of quartz, extremely rare, especially in high-quality specimens. Rutile Quartz symbolizes youth and vitality. It is believed to be beneficial for blood circulation and metabolism. In the five elements, red quartz is associated with fire and the root chakra, believed to be effective for gynecological issues, stimulating fighting spirit, enhancing self-confidence, and promoting calmness and focus. **Sakura Agate** Sakura Agate is a variety of agate, exclusively found in Madagascar, and has gained popularity in recent years. Formed over hundreds of millions of years from magma flowing through the seabed, Sakura Agate's crystal formations resemble flowers, hence its name. Each piece is unique and unrepeatable, a gift from nature. Sakura Agate commonly appears in white, red, pink, orange, yellow, green, blue, and purple hues, with blue, purple, and green being rarer. Due to its co-existence with multiple minerals, minor imperfections are common, often appearing within the "flower" formations. Thus, there is a saying, "No Sakura Agate is without flaws." The finest Sakura Agate features artistic flower distribution, clarity, minimal cracks or spots, and an appealing aesthetic. **Ring (Finger Guard, Ring)** Rings originated from finger guards. Finger guards, also known as "ban zhi," were protective tubes worn on the thumb by ancient archers to prevent the arrow shaft from causing injury. Since the Qing Dynasty, these tubular guards evolved into decorative items made from hard, precious materials like gold, silver, jade, agate, turquoise, and ivory, symbolizing power and status. Traditional finger guards were classified as "civil" or "military" based on their size and thickness. Military finger guards were typically simple and plain, while civil finger guards often featured poetry or patterns on their outer surface. Those made from precious materials were exclusively for royalty. Commoners typically wore finger guards made of Hetian jade, ivory, or porcelain. In ancient times, the material of a finger guard served as a marker of social status and carried a sense of warning, eventually evolving into what we now call a ring. **Cloisonné (Filigree Enamel, Blue Firing)** Cloisonné, scientifically known as copper-chassis filigree enamel, originated in the ancient Near East. As early as the 19th century BC, ancient Egyptian pharaohs used it for necklaces, combining it with gemstone inlays. The Eastern Roman Empire elevated this craft to great heights. It was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty and reached its peak during the Jingtai period of the Ming Dynasty, hence its name "Jingtai Lan." Exquisite cloisonné products feature lustrous and vibrant colors, a thick and solid base, neat and uniform filigree, and brilliant gilding. They embody the warmth of jade, the brilliance of gemstones, and the delicacy of porcelain. Consequently, the cloisonné craft is intricate and costly. **White Crystal** High-quality White Crystal is clear and transparent, formed under high temperature and pressure over millions of years. Legend has it that Hercules, the bravest hero in Greek mythology, always wielded a shining white crystal shield in battle. The shield illuminated the heavens and earth brilliantly, filling Hercules with the heroic aura of a victorious king, and he was crowned King of Courage by Zeus. Thus, White Crystal is known as the King of Crystals, symbolizing power, courage, wisdom, and purification. **Six-Syllable Mantra** The Six-Syllable Mantra (Om Mani Padme Hum) originates from Sanskrit and consists of six Tibetan syllables: ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ (Sanskrit: Oṃ Maṇi Padme Hūṃ; Tibetan: ཨོཾ་མ་ཎི་པདྨེ་ཧཱུྃ). It is the most common mantra in Buddhism. Each syllable of Om Mani Padme Hum carries a distinct meaning: "Om" is a combination of A, U, and Ma, symbolizing our body, speech, and mind. Primarily, it refers to the mind. When the mind is controlled by afflictions, one is called a "samsari." One who counteracts and severs afflictions is called "liberated." The meaning of A, U, and Ma is: when the mind is controlled by afflictions, one is a "samsari"; if afflictions are severed from the mind, one is "liberated." With the support of bodhicitta, one becomes a "noble bodhisattva." Transforming impure body, speech, and mind into pure body, speech, and mind through the path of practice is the meaning of "Mani" and "Padme." "Mani" refers to bodhicitta, and "Padme" refers to the correct view of dependent origination from emptiness. "Hum" signifies the union of these two, the integration of wisdom by skillful means and skillful means by wisdom. In essence, by practicing bodhicitta and the view of emptiness, one can ultimately transform impure body, speech, and mind into the body, speech, and mind of a Buddha. Hence, it is said: "Om Mani Padme Hum." - His Holiness the Dalai Lama (November 27, 2019, at His Holiness the Dalai Lama's residence) **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Red Jasper, Sakura Agate, Red Jade, Rutile Quartz, White Crystal, Enamel, 18K Gold, 925 Silver Dimensions: **1.

However, we will strive to maintain a consistent style and kindly request your patience for the creation of each masterpiece. **◈ Care and Collection** 1. Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (minor black spots, stone lines, ice cracks, clouds, mineral inclusions, asymmetry, etc.). With frequent wear, you may observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often becoming more translucent and captivating, which is the best form of maintenance. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral, amber, pearls, and tridacna) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. If soiled, avoid using detergents; clean with plain water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also use a soft brush with a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for gentle care. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan but should be protected from external damage or strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 3. Fabric materials (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable and have a long lifespan but should be kept away from high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when soiled, wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water as appropriate. For suitable materials, a small amount of neutral detergent may be used. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, store it properly in packaging to minimize exposure to air and slow down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or pressing. **◈ Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. For any questions regarding the piece, please contact us via private message. 2.
