What Does the Pixiu Symbolize?

The Pixiu (貔貅) is a legendary creature in Chinese folklore, traditionally depicted as a powerful guardian associated with wealth and good fortune.

According to traditional legends, Pixiu is said to have a strong appetite for gold and silver and is believed to keep wealth from being lost. Because of these associations, Pixiu has become a popular motif in Chinese jewelry and is often chosen as a symbolic gift for new beginnings, business milestones, career changes, and Lunar New Year celebrations.

Natural Obsidian & Tiger Eye

• Black Obsidian: A natural volcanic glass with a deep, glossy appearance. In traditional symbolism, obsidian is often associated with protection and grounding.
• Yellow Tiger Eye: A variety of quartz recognized for its distinctive silky chatoyancy and golden-brown bands. Its warm tones add contrast and character to the bracelet.

Each natural stone is unique, so slight variations in color, pattern, and banding are part of its natural character.

Symbolic meanings described above reflect traditional cultural beliefs and are not scientific or medical claims.

Care Instructions

Natural stone bracelets should be handled with care. Obsidian has a glass-like hardness of approximately Mohs 5–5.5 and can be scratched or chipped by harder materials.

To help preserve the bracelet and its electroplated finish:

• Avoid strong impacts and drops.
• Keep away from perfume, lotions, and harsh chemicals.
• Avoid prolonged exposure to water.
• Wipe gently with a soft, dry cloth after wearing.
• Store separately to prevent scratches.

A natural stone bracelet is never completely identical from one piece to another. Variations in color, texture, and tiger eye banding make each bracelet unique.
