**◈ A Word From the Designer** Carefully selected Imperial Lapis Lazuli, paired with the wealth-attracting mythical beast, Pixiu, creates an aura of immense power. This piece is not only breathtakingly beautiful but also imbued with the divine ability to attract fortune. **Lapis Lazuli** Ancient texts record the use of Lapis Lazuli in China as early as five thousand years ago, and even earlier in Egypt, around eight thousand years ago. Emperors of various Chinese dynasties used Lapis Lazuli in rituals to worship Heaven, believing its blue hue resembled the sky, thus connecting them to the divine. The Egyptians, too, revered it, believing it facilitated communication with the afterlife. The finest Lapis Lazuli in the world is found in Afghanistan. Afghan Lapis Lazuli boasts a rich, commanding blue, earning it the reputation of "Imperial Blue." When selecting Lapis Lazuli, look for a pleasing distribution of blue, white (calcite), and gold (pyrite) flecks. As Lapis Lazuli forms near the Earth's surface, it has many pores and should not be exposed to water for extended periods. It is recommended to nourish it regularly with mineral oil. **Pixiu** Legend tells that Pixiu is a son of the dragon, with a lion's head, horns, and a beast-like body. It devours wealth and evil spirits, and crucially, it only takes in and never lets go. This is why Pixiu is believed to possess the powers of "attracting wealth" and "warding off evil." In ancient times, Pixiu were depicted as formidable, robust beasts! In modern times, to suit contemporary sensibilities, Pixiu are often portrayed as rounder and more plump, as if filled with riches, appearing more comforting and endearing. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Afghan Lapis Lazuli, Gold-Plated Sterling Silver Pixiu Dimensions: Lapis Lazuli bead diameter approximately 12mm, Pixiu length approximately 3.5cm, width approximately 1.8cm, height approximately 1.5cm.

Should you require a replica or bulk order, discerning individuals like yourself will understand that due to the meticulous nature of handmade craftsmanship, each piece cannot be 100% identical. However, we strive to maintain stylistic consistency and kindly request your patience as we dedicate time to crafting each masterpiece. **◈ On Wearing and Caring for Your Piece** 1. Natural gemstones possess their own unique luster and inherent textures (such as tiny black spots, crystal lines, internal fractures, cloudy inclusions, mineral imperfections, or asymmetry). With regular wear, you may observe subtle changes in the gemstone's color, often becoming more luminous and captivating – this is the best form of maintenance. For natural organic gemstones (like coral or amber) with lower hardness and sensitivity to acids and alkalis, avoid cleaning agents when soiled. Simply rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also gently brush them with a small amount of mineral oil (such as baby oil) for nourishment. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but it is best to avoid external damage or exposure to strong acids and alkalis, which can cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable, offering a long lifespan. Avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that can lead to fading. 4. For jewelry of any material, when soiled, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water as appropriate. For suitable materials, a mild neutral detergent may be used sparingly. After washing, ensure the piece is dried promptly. 5. When not worn, store your jewelry in a well-packaged manner, shielded from excess air to slow oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy items on top. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1.
