Accented with 18K yellow gold beads between the Pixiu, it adds a touch of lightness and dynamism, illuminating the entire piece. This embodies a **refined elegance and dignified presence**, making it a beautiful object to **support your career, enhance your wisdom, and attract wealth**. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its owner of integrity and success^^** **Lapis Lazuli** Ancient texts record the use of Lapis Lazuli by Chinese people as early as 5,000 years ago, and even earlier by the Egyptians, around 8,000 years ago. Chinese emperors historically used Lapis Lazuli for celestial sacrifices due to its sky-like blue color, believing it to be a gemstone that could connect them to the heavens. The Egyptians, on the other hand, believed it facilitated communication with the afterlife. The finest Lapis Lazuli in the world is found in Afghanistan. Afghan Lapis Lazuli is renowned for its deep, commanding blue color, earning it the moniker "Imperial Blue." When selecting Lapis Lazuli, look for a natural distribution of blue, white (calcite), and gold (pyrite). As Lapis Lazuli forms near the earth's surface, it tends to have more pores and should not be exposed to water for extended periods. It is recommended to nourish it regularly with mineral oil. **Pixiu** Legend has it that Pixiu is the son of the dragon, with a lion's head, horns, and a beast-like body. It feeds on money and evil spirits, and famously only consumes but never expels, thus bestowing Pixiu with the functions of 'attracting wealth' and 'warding off evil.' In ancient times, Pixiu were depicted as formidable beasts! In modern times, to better suit popular sentiment, Pixiu are often portrayed as plump and prosperous, as if their bellies are full of wealth, appearing more healing and adorable. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Lapis Lazuli, 18K Gold Dimensions: **1.

However, we will strive to maintain a consistent style and ask for your patience as we craft each masterpiece. **◈ On Usage and Care** 1. Natural gemstones possess their own unique luster and textures (such as tiny black spots, stone lines, internal fractures, cloudy inclusions, mineral defects, and asymmetry). With frequent wear, you may observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, often making them appear more translucent and captivating – this is the best form of care. Natural organic gemstones (like coral and amber) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. When cleaning, avoid detergents. Simply rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth. You can also use a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (such as baby oil) for gentle polishing and care. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable to the touch and have a long lifespan, but avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when it becomes soiled, it is advisable to wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with clean water, or use an appropriate amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, it should be carefully packaged and stored to minimize exposure to air, which can slow down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy objects on it. **◈ Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the piece, please contact us via private message. 2.
