**Antique Item, Only One Available** Product Name: Safe and Peaceful Pendant(Antique) Size: ________________________________________ **Antique, also referred to as 'Antique,' refers to items over 100 years old.** The Ping An Kou (Safe and Peaceful Pendant) is a traditional auspicious ornament with a simple and rounded shape, featuring a hole in the center, resembling the ancient Chinese jade bi disc, symbolizing completeness, harmony, and accessibility. The origin of the Ping An Kou can be traced back to the pre-Qin period, influenced by ancient jade culture. Initially, it was made of jade, and later materials like old agate were also used. "Old agate" refers to agate formed naturally over a long period, with a smooth texture and unique patterns that carry a deep sense of history and natural beauty. Culturally, the Ping An Kou represents peace and good fortune. Its smooth, circular shape symbolizes a smooth life and peace throughout the seasons, and it is believed to have protective qualities, warding off evil. Wearing an old agate Ping An Kou not only reflects the wearer’s respect for traditional culture but also conveys best wishes. In addition, old agate itself is considered a gem with spiritual energy, symbolizing stability, longevity, and harmony, making it a popular amulet and decorative piece. Old agate is a gemstone of significant historical and cultural value, often favored for its unique colors and patterns. Agate in traditional Chinese culture is viewed as a material with protective and stabilizing properties, and old agate, formed naturally over long periods, has a smoother texture and more refined patterns, making it a favored material for court and aristocratic adornments during ancient times. Culturally, Qing Dynasty old agate symbolizes nobility and longevity, and is believed to have protective powers to ward off evil and stabilize the home. The patterns in agate often represent natural changes and the perpetuity of life, aligning with the Chinese pursuit of harmony between nature and the universe. In terms of collectible value, old agate is highly regarded for its rarity and exquisite craftsmanship. Over time, many old agate pieces have become rare treasures, whether as individual agate ornaments or integrated into ancient artworks, holding high market value. Additionally, because Qing Dynasty agate has undergone a long process of natural aging and historical accumulation, its unique texture and patterns have made it a sought-after object for collectors and enthusiasts, with enduring investment value. ________________________________________ Sumi Antique is a platform founded by the antique collector Sumi, who has a deep passion for antique culture.
