Taoist Bagua Shan Gui Sword Pendant Necklace

The Later Heaven Bagua is paired with a Mountain Ghost coin motif (Chinese: Shan Gui Hua Qian), inspired by traditional Chinese symbolism, and the vintage style is reminiscent of Chinese sword pendants. Combined with its thin design, the silver finish and red highlights, it forms a unique piece of Chinese-inspired jewellery that has a cultural touch.

Use it as an individual item of jewellery, or use it with other symbolic jewellery, or as an individual gift to someone who is interested in Taoist culture and Traditional Chinese design.

The meaning of the pendant

Later Heaven Bagua / King Wen Bagua

Later Heaven Bagua is the Taoist arrangement of the eight trigrams of traditional Chinese cosmology. It is related to compass directions, Five Elements and life changes, and expresses notions of the relationship between yin and yang, and life changes.

The Bagua pattern is a traditional symbol that is incorporated into the design of the pendant, which is shaped like a sword.

Mountain Ghost Coin (Shan Gui Hua Qian)

The Shan Gui Hua Qian motif is related to traditional Chinese folk belief on protection and good fortune, and the folk use of the charm coin. These coins can be designed with special symbols and motifs that are meant to convey a message or a wish.

It imparts a unique link to Chinese folklore to the pendant.

Sword-Inspired Design

In Taoist ritual practices, swords may be used as symbolic tools to ward off negative influences and negative forces. This miniature sword design pays homage to that heritage and ends up being a pendant with a traditional symbolism, but a very subtle vintage feel to it.

The meanings of these are culturally and spiritually understood but not guaranteed effects.
