This piece embodies auspicious meanings such as career success (leaf), achieving wealth overnight (leaf), and all matters proceeding smoothly (four Pixiu, sounding like "everything" in Chinese). The gemstones' colors harmonize, exuding a mysterious, silken luster. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its destined owner.** **Mother of Pearl** "Mother of pearl" is the collective term for the bivalve mollusks that produce pearls. Its inner shell, due to the long-term secretion of nacre, forms a lustrous nacreous layer that nurtures pearls, much like the mother of pearls. Mother of pearl is rich in captivating luster and iridescent colors, rivaling that of pearls. Thus, for thousands of years, it has been popular for crafting into artworks and ornaments, serving as a symbol of luxury and splendor for both Eastern and Western nobility. Common types of mother of pearl include: 1. Black-lipped Oyster: Found in the waters of French Polynesia, its shell can reach up to 30 cm in length and is the sole source of Tahitian "black pearls." 2. White-lipped Oyster: Primarily inhabiting the northern Australian waters, it yields large-diameter South Sea "white pearls." 3. Gold-lipped Oyster: Mainly found in the South Pacific, such as in Indonesia, the Philippines, and Myanmar, it produces highly valuable "South Sea golden pearls." Natural golden pearls are light yellow; those treated with radiation are a deeper yellow. 4. Akoya Oyster: Concentrated in Japan's Seto Inland Sea, its shell is 7-8 cm long and is renowned for producing Akoya pearls. 5. Triangle Shell (River Mussel): When cultivating pearls, multiple nuclei can be implanted at once to grow more pearls. A typical mussel can accommodate about five nuclei. 6. Penguin Oyster: Primarily distributed in the waters of Indonesia, China, and Taiwan. Its shell has a silvery-gray nacreous luster and is often used to cultivate half-pearls. 7. Conch: The Queen Conch, found in the Caribbean Sea, produces the "Conch Pearl," also known as the "Queen Conch Pearl." Conch pearls cannot be artificially cultivated. There is a saying in the jewelry world: "The Conch Pearl is widely considered the Rolls-Royce of the pearl world," describing its unparalleled luxury and peak opulence. Consequently, the Queen Conch has been dubbed the "Hermès" of mother-of-pearl. **Blue Flash Moonstone** Moonstone, with its warm, delicate texture and elegant, dreamlike iridescence, belongs to the feldspar family of gemstones. Like sunstone and aventurine, it exhibits a silken, brilliant luster, reminiscent of moonlight or sunlight, hence its name "sunstone." Ancient Romans believed that moonstone was formed from moonlight and that it allowed one to see the moon goddess Diana. In ancient India, moonstone symbolized the third eye, enhancing spiritual understanding and clarifying the mind. **Pixiu** Legend has it that Pixiu are the offspring of dragons, with a lion's head, horns, and a beast-like body. They feed on money and evil spirits, and only ingest, never excrete, thus bestowing Pixiu with the functions of "attracting wealth" and "warding off evil." In ancient times, Pixiu were formidable beasts! In modern times, to suit popular sentiment, Pixiu are depicted as plump and prosperous, as if having consumed a belly full of wealth, appearing more healing and adorable. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Mother of Pearl, Blue Flash Moonstone, 18K Gold Dimensions: Mother of pearl leaf approximately 25mm high, 17.5mm wide, 3.5mm thick.

Natural gemstones possess natural luster and unique textures (such as tiny black spots, internal fractures, ice cracks, cloudiness, mineral inclusions, and asymmetry). With frequent wear, you may observe subtle color changes in natural gemstones, which often become more translucent and captivating – this is also the best method of care. Natural organic gemstones (like coral and amber) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. If soiled, avoid using detergents. Clean with water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also use a soft brush with a small amount of mineral oil (such as baby oil) for gentle care. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, provided it is protected from external damage or strong acids and alkalis that could cause fading. 3. Fabric materials (ribbon, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable, with a long lifespan, provided they are kept away from high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that could cause fading. 4. For any jewelry, when soiled, it is advisable to wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water, or for suitable materials, use a moderate amount of neutral detergent. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, it should be properly packaged and stored to minimize air exposure, slowing down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy objects on it. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the product, please contact us via private message. 2.
