The overall piece is magnificent and opulent, exuding an extraordinary presence, truly worthy of collection. **A unique, one-of-a-kind creation, awaiting its discerning collector.** **Lapis Lazuli** Ancient texts record the use of Lapis Lazuli in China dating back five thousand years, and even earlier in Egypt, around eight thousand years ago. Chinese emperors of various dynasties used Lapis Lazuli for celestial rituals, believing its azure color, akin to the heavens, connected them to the divine. The Egyptians, in turn, thought it facilitated communication with the afterlife. The finest Lapis Lazuli in the world originates from Afghanistan. Afghan Lapis Lazuli is renowned for its bold and majestic blue, earning it the moniker "Imperial Blue." When selecting Lapis Lazuli, look for pieces with a natural distribution of blue, white (calcite), and gold (pyrite). Due to its formation near the earth's surface, Lapis Lazuli has many pores and should not be exposed to water for prolonged periods. It is recommended to occasionally nurture it with mineral oil. **Pixiu** Legend has it that the Pixiu is a descendant of the dragon, possessing a lion's head, horns, and a beast-like body. It feeds on wealth and evil spirits, and crucially, it only consumes without expelling, thus bestowing upon the Pixiu its esteemed functions of "attracting wealth" and "warding off evil." In ancient times, the Pixiu was depicted as a formidable and robust mythical beast. In modern interpretations, to align with contemporary sensibilities, the Pixiu is often portrayed as plump and prosperous, as if brimming with wealth, appearing even more endearing and comforting. **Ruby** Ruby, its name derived from the Latin word "Ruber," meaning red. In Sanskrit, the ruby is lauded as the "King of Gems" and the "Leader among Gemstones." Its fiery red hue led the ancient Indians to believe it was an eternal flame. Rubies possess a very high hardness, but their crystals are often small and contain numerous fissures. They are prone to co-existing with green zoisite and black tourmaline. Consequently, rubies found in the market often exhibit integrated red, green, and black hues. Rubies with co-existing green zoisite are also colloquially known as "ruby-zoisite." **◈ Meticulously Selected Materials, Crafted with Care** Materials: Natural Imperial Blue Lapis Lazuli, Ruby, 18K Gold, 925 Silver Dimensions: The Lapis Lazuli Pixiu in the photo measures approximately 9.5mm in length.

Natural gemstones possess inherent luster and unique textures (including minor dark spots, crystal lines, internal fractures, cloudy inclusions, mineral blemishes, and asymmetries). With regular wear, you may observe subtle color variations in natural gemstones, often appearing more translucent and captivating – this is also the best form of maintenance. Natural organic gemstones (such as coral and amber) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. When soiled, avoid using detergents. Simply rinse with water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also gently brush them with a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for nurturing. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, provided it is protected from external force, or from strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable to wear, with a long lifespan, provided they are kept away from high temperatures, external force, or strong acids and alkalis that may cause fading. 4. For jewelry of any material, when soiled, it is advisable to wipe it with a soft cloth dipped in clean water, or use an appropriate amount of neutral detergent for suitable materials. After washing, ensure it is dried promptly. 5. When jewelry is removed, it should be properly packaged for storage, minimizing exposure to air to slow down oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy objects on it. **◈ Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the piece, please kindly contact us via private message. 2.
