Starry Aquamarine, Greek Key, Ancient Coin, Lapis Lazuli, Vajra, Auspicious Ruyi, Bracelet, One-of-a-Kind, Gift

**◈ A Word from the Designer** Carefully selected **Stone of the Brave - Aquamarine (Courage, Wisdom, Compassion)**, complemented by the **Emperor's Sacrifice Stone - Lapis Lazuli (Majestic, Connected to Heaven)** from past dynasties, and enamel design. The **Aquamarine** is of a **highly ice-transparent** variety, exhibiting **blue needle and starry effects**, with **rainbow iridescence** visible from different angles, making it exceptionally spiritual and beautiful. It is also carved into a **Greek key** pattern with rich blue aquamarine, symbolizing **boundless auspiciousness**. The bracelet chain is adorned with an enamel **Vajra** (symbolizing **wisdom and positive energy**). The main pendant features an enamel **bat (good fortune) and ruyi** design, accompanied by a starry aquamarine **ancient coin (peace buckle)** and a tassel woven with imperial blue lapis lazuli. The **Lapis Lazuli** is vibrant and true in color, exuding a **majestic aura**, with delicate and beautiful white and gold inclusions. The overall piece is deeply auspicious, a beautiful object that embodies grandeur, wealth, and wisdom. **This is a one-of-a-kind piece, awaiting its destined owner of wealth and wisdom ^^** **Aquamarine** Aquamarine is named for its clear blue-green hue, reminiscent of the ocean. Legend has it that mermaids dwelling in the deep blue sea wore aquamarine as adornments, basking them in sunlight to harness mystical powers for self-protection, hence aquamarine is also known as the "Mermaid Stone." For centuries, sailors navigating the waves have habitually prayed to the sea god with aquamarine for safe voyages. Thus, aquamarine has been revered as the "Stone of the Brave," symbolizing composure, courage, and intelligence. **Lapis Lazuli** Ancient Chinese records indicate the use of Lapis Lazuli dating back five thousand years, with the Egyptians using it even earlier, around eight thousand years ago. Chinese emperors of past dynasties used lapis lazuli for celestial sacrifices, believing its blue color, akin to the sky, allowed for a connection to the heavens. Egyptians, on the other hand, believed it facilitated communication with the spirit world. The finest lapis lazuli in the world is found in Afghanistan. Afghan lapis lazuli is known for its dominant and striking color, earning it the moniker "Imperial Blue." When selecting lapis lazuli, look for a piece with a natural distribution of blue, white (calcite), and gold (pyrite) inclusions. As lapis lazuli forms near the earth's surface and has many pores, it is not suitable for prolonged contact with water. It is recommended to maintain it regularly with mineral oil. **Cloisonné (Champlevé Enamel, Firing Blue)** Cloisonné, scientifically known as copper-bodied wire-inlaid enamel, originated in the ancient Near East. As early as the 19th century BC, ancient Egyptian pharaohs used it to create necklaces, often inlaying gemstones. The Eastern Roman Empire later refined this craft to an exceptional level. It was introduced to China during the Yuan Dynasty and reached its zenith during the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, thus acquiring its name "Jingtai Lan." Exquisite cloisonné pieces boast lustrous and vivid colors, a thick and solid base, neat and uniform wire inlay, and brilliant gilding. They embody the warmth of jade, the radiance of jewels, and the fineness of porcelain. Consequently, the cloisonné craft is intricate and costly. **Vajra Bell, Vajra** The Vajra Bell was originally a Tibetan percussion instrument. Because it encourages diligent practice and awakens the awareness of Buddhas and Bodhisattvas, it later became a ritual implement in Tibetan Buddhism, representing the wisdom and virtue of the Buddha. The Vajra was originally a weapon in ancient India, known for its strength and ability to break through various materials. It symbolizes the annihilation of afflictions, the dispelling of ignorance and delusions, and the overcoming of external obstacles. **Ruyi** The term "Ruyi" is easily understood as "as one wishes," signifying the fulfillment of desires. The Ruyi typically features a "cloud pattern or lingzhi mushroom" at its head connected to a long handle, or is sometimes represented solely by the shape of a lingzhi mushroom or cloud pattern. The Qing Dynasty text "Miscellaneous Records of Different Names" states, "Ruyi was an ancient back-scratcher," referring to its original use as an implement for scratching one's back (similar to a modern back scratcher). Furthermore, "Ruyi" also served as a note-taking tablet ("Hu") used by ancient officials when attending court sessions, and as a command baton in warfare. Thus, the Ruyi symbolizes wisdom, authority, and auspiciousness. We often see various Bodhisattvas holding Ruyi: "Ruyi Guanyin" holds a Ruyi, symbolizing her ability to perceive all things, rescue from peril, avert danger, bring about all wishes, and bring peace to the heart. "Manjushri Bodhisattva," the Bodhisattva symbolizing wisdom, holds different ritual objects representing different meanings: holding a sword signifies cutting through afflictions; holding a blue lotus symbolizes pure wisdom and virtue, untouched by defilement; holding a Ruyi represents wisdom and auspiciousness. Therefore, the Ruyi also signifies wisdom. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Aquamarine, Lapis Lazuli, Enamel, 925 Silver, 18K Gold Dimensions: **1.

Natural gemstones possess their unique luster and individual textures (including minor black spots, internal cracks, cloudiness, 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. For natural organic gemstones (such as coral, amber, pearls, and tridacna), their low hardness and sensitivity to acids and alkalis mean that if they become dirty, avoid cleaning with detergents. Simply rinse with clean water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also gently brush them with a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (such as baby oil) for maintenance. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, but avoid external damage or strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 3. Fabric materials (ribbon, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable, with a long lifespan, but avoid high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 4. For jewelry of any material, if it becomes dirty, wipe it with a soft cloth dampened with clean water as appropriate, or use a moderate amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When removing jewelry, store it properly in packaging to minimize exposure to air, which can slow down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy objects on it. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1.
