**◈ A Word from the Designer** These are **Aquamarine Beauties** ^^ **Aquamarine**, also known as the **"Stone of Courage,"** symbolizes **wisdom, compassion, and bravery**. Through fortunate circumstances and meticulous selection, we've gathered three shades of aquamarine—**Powder Blue, Devil Blue, and Blue-Green**. These are skillfully carved into **Pixiu (mythical wealth-attracting beasts, sons of the dragon)** and accented with faceted beads and exquisite enamel designs. The aquamarine is translucent and lustrous, clear and radiant, free of black spots, shimmering with subtle starlight and iridescent halos, representing superior quality and beauty. Three Pixiu on each side symbolize **"San Yuan Ji Di"** (success in imperial examinations), while the total of six Pixiu signifies **"Liu Liu Da Shun"** (smooth sailing in all affairs). Echoing the overall blue and green tones of the aquamarine, a luxurious tassel is intricately woven with blue-green cubic zirconia and blue-green **butterfly (representing good fortune) and flower (representing wealth and honor) shaped enamel**. The design is grand and magnificent, exuding wealth and beauty. Collecting these **Devil Blue, Powder Blue, and Blue-Green aquamarine Pixiu** in the **Year of the Dragon** holds exceptional meaning, promising great wealth and auspiciousness. **This is a unique piece, awaiting its compassionate, wise, and courageous owner.** ^^ **Aquamarine** Aquamarine, named for its clear blue-green hue reminiscent of the ocean. Legend has it that mermaids dwelling in the deep blue sea adorned themselves with aquamarine, bathing the gems in sunlight to harness mystical powers for protection. Thus, aquamarine is also known as the "Mermaid Stone." For centuries, sailors navigating the turbulent waves have habitually prayed to the sea god with aquamarine for safe voyages. Consequently, aquamarine is revered as the "Stone of Courage," symbolizing composure, bravery, and intelligence. **Beryl** The beryl family is a star player in the world of colored gemstones. With its hardness, high translucency, and diverse, brilliant colors, it's a perennial favorite in the gem world. Different coloring ions within beryl give rise to various gem varieties: 1. Those containing chromium ions exhibit a vibrant green, known as the highly precious **Emerald**. 2. Those containing iron ions display sky blue or sea-blue colors, referred to as **Aquamarine**. 3. Those containing iron ions present a golden yellow or pale lemon yellow, known as **Heliodor**. 4. Those containing manganese ions show shades of pink, rose, or peach, called **Morganite**. **Pixiu** According to legend, Pixiu are the offspring of the dragon, with a lion's head, horns, and a beast-like body. They feed on money and evil spirits, and only consume, 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 align with popular sentiment, round and plump Pixiu, as if having consumed a great deal of wealth, appear even more comforting and adorable. **Champlevé Enamel (Cloisonné, Vitreous Enamel)** Champlevé enamel, scientifically known as wire-inlaid enamel on a copper base. This craft originated in the ancient Near East; as early as the 19th century BC, ancient Egyptian pharaohs used it to create necklaces, combining it with gemstone inlay. The Eastern Roman Empire later elevated this craft to exceptional heights. China adopted the technique during the Yuan Dynasty and saw its peak development during the Jingtai reign of the Ming Dynasty, from which it derives its name "Jing Tai Lan." Exquisite Champlevé products boast lustrous, vibrant colors, a thick and solid base, neat and uniform wirework, and brilliant gold plating. They embody the gentle luster of jade, the radiance of jewels, and the delicacy of porcelain. Consequently, the Champlevé process is intricate and costly. **◈ Carefully Selected Materials, Meticulously Inspected** Materials: Natural Beryl (Aquamarine), Cubic Zirconia, Enamel, 18K Gold, 925 Silver Size: Aquamarine Pixiu approximately 11.6-13.5mm in length, total height including ear hook about 7.6cm. **Due to the quantity and weight of the gemstones, conversion to clip-on earrings is not recommended.** ^^ **◈ We Await Your Unique Encounter** We assure you that this is a one-of-a-kind piece, not mass-produced.

However, we will strive to maintain stylistic consistency and kindly request your patience as we craft each masterpiece. **◈ On Care and Collection** 1. Natural gemstones possess inherent luster and unique textures (such as minor inclusions, internal fractures, cloudiness, or slight asymmetries). With frequent wear, you'll observe subtle color changes, often making them appear more translucent and captivating—this is the best form of care. Natural organic gems (like coral or amber) have low hardness and are sensitive to acids and alkalis. If soiled, avoid detergents; clean with plain water and wipe with a soft cloth. You may also gently brush with a soft brush dipped in a small amount of mineral oil (like baby oil) for maintenance. 2. Metal jewelry has a long lifespan, requiring only avoidance of external damage or exposure to strong acids and alkalis that could cause fading. 3. Fabric components (ribbons, cotton, gauze) are soft and comfortable to wear for extended periods, but should be kept away from high temperatures, external damage, or strong acids and alkalis that could cause fading. 4. For any jewelry material, when soiled, gently wipe with a soft cloth dampened with water, or use a small amount of mild neutral detergent appropriate for the material. Ensure prompt drying after washing. 5. When removed, store jewelry properly, sealed from excess air to slow oxidation and discoloration. Avoid stacking or placing heavy items on top. **◈ Product Packaging and After-Sales Service** 1. Should you have any questions regarding the piece, please contact us via private message. 2.
