The asymmetrical design adds a touch of vibrancy and opulent grandeur, bringing good fortune. **A unique, one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its destined owner.** **Red Jasper** Red Jasper is a contemporary gemstone, yet its geological age spans millions of years. Its primary sources are Southern Africa and Guilin, China. Southern African Red Jasper, influenced by the subtropical climate and geological events like orogeny and volcanic eruptions, possesses superior quality, spiritual energy, and value, making it highly prized for its aesthetic appeal, investment, and collectible potential. Southern African Red Jasper exhibits vibrant colors, with red signifying auspiciousness and good fortune, symbolizing smooth sailing in all endeavors and the transformation of misfortune into blessings. Composed mainly of silica (SiO2) and quartz, Red Jasper is exceptionally tough, ideal for carving. With a hardness of 6.7, it is resistant to wear, acids, alkalis, and weathering. Its texture is smooth and lustrous, often displaying auspicious patterns reminiscent of clouds, dragons, landscapes, and waves, offering a rich visual experience to be savored. **Jade-like Quality (玉化)** In the realm of gemstones, "jade-like quality" refers to a gem's formation with a crystal-clear, translucent, and lustrous texture akin to glass. This phenomenon occurs when gemstones are subjected to intense heat or pressure in their natural environment, leading to a denser internal structure. **Cloisonné (絲琺瑯, 燒藍)** Cloisonné, scientifically known as copper-chased enamel, originated in the ancient Near East. As early as the 19th century BCE, ancient Egyptian pharaohs used it in conjunction with gemstone inlay for necklaces. The Eastern Roman Empire later elevated this craft to great heights. It was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty and flourished spectacularly during the Ming Dynasty's Jingtai period, hence its name "Jingtai Blue." Exquisite cloisonné pieces are characterized by their lustrous and vibrant colors, substantial and solid foundations, neat and symmetrical wirework, and brilliant gilding. They embody the warmth of jade, the radiance of jewels, and the fineness of porcelain. Consequently, the cloisonné process is intricate and costly. **Treasured Bangle (串)** A "Treasured Bangle" (多寶釧/串), as the name suggests, encompasses bracelets made from various materials, colors, and designs. It allows for the simultaneous inclusion of gemstones with diverse meanings and benefits, representing the wearer's aspirations and blessings across all facets of life. **Ruyi Scepter (如意)** The term "Ruyi" literally translates to "as one wishes," signifying the fulfillment of desires. Its shape typically consists of a cloud pattern or a lingzhi mushroom at the top, connected to a long handle, or sometimes represented solely by the shape of a lingzhi or cloud. The Qing Dynasty text "Shi Wu Yi Ming Lu" records that the Ruyi was an ancient scratching tool ("爪杖"), akin to a modern backscratcher. Furthermore, it served as the "Hu" (笏), or "hand tablet," used by officials in ancient times to record matters during court audiences, and as a command baton in warfare. Thus, the Ruyi symbolizes wisdom, authority, and auspiciousness. We often see deities holding Ruyi scepters: "Guanyin of the Ruyi" holds a Ruyi, symbolizing her ability to perceive all, aid in times of crisis, avert danger, ensure wishes are granted, and bring peace of mind. "Manjushri Bodhisattva," the Bodhisattva of wisdom, holds various implements, each with a different meaning. Holding a sword signifies cutting through afflictions; holding a blue lotus symbolizes pure wisdom untainted by impurity; and holding a Ruyi represents wisdom and auspiciousness. Therefore, the Ruyi also signifies wisdom. **◈ Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural African Red Jasper, Enamel, 925 Silver, 18K Gold Dimensions: Red Jasper round pendant diameter approximately 34.3, 38.4mm, thickness 4.4mm.

Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (e.g., tiny black spots, inclusions, internal fractures, cloudy patches, mineral inclusions, asymmetry). By wearing them frequently, you can observe subtle color changes that often enhance their translucence and allure, which is the best method of care. For organic gemstones (like coral and amber) with low hardness and susceptibility to acids and alkalis, avoid detergents when cleaning. Simply rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth. A soft brush with a small amount of mineral oil (such as baby oil) can also be used for gentle polishing and maintenance. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan. Avoid external force, strong acids, or alkalis that may cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable to wear and have a long lifespan. Avoid high temperatures, external force, or strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when soiled, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water, or use a small amount of neutral detergent suitable for the material. After washing, ensure the item is dried promptly. 5. When removed, store jewelry carefully in its packaging, minimizing air exposure to slow down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy objects on top. **◈ Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the piece, please contact us via private message. 2.
