![]() Even though jade would be a good combination of symbolism as well, I just feel that green with gold can be an eyesore for a bracelet. Personally, I prefer crystal beads such as citrine, garnet, black agate or onyx as they supercharge the wealth symbolism. ![]() But they are pretty much meant to serve the same purpose. This is when the bracelets resemble more like bangles rather than bracelets. So if you are wearing a pixiu bracelet to call on it’s magic rather than just for making a fashion statement, the charm itself should be made of metal.Ĭatching onto this feng shui concept, jewelers have also designed pixiu charm bracelets that are made fully of metal without the band of beads. This is because metal is associated with the Chien trigram which represents heaven.Ĭharms made of earth material such as crystals would then be tied to the attributes linked to that particular type of gemstone. Keep in mind that the most potent feng shui charms should always be made of metal such as bronze, brass, silver and gold. Crystals such as citrine and jade are pretty popular too. Then there are also those that are made with metal alloy and plated with gold. While the more affordable bracelets consist of charms made out of bronze, silver and even plastic, the more expensive ones are made out of 24k gold.

If you allow me to side-track a little, when I recently purchased one as a gift for a friend and asked the store manager what the elastic string that holds the beads and charm together was made of, he answered that it’s high quality fishing line. This also means that the price of such bracelets depends on the material of the charm itself and the type of crystals used as beads. They mostly consist of a pixiu charm that is stringed with beads made out of different types of crystals. The pixiu bracelets available these days in jewelry stores and feng shui malls have mostly settled on a particular form of design. This is also in part to how piyao bracelets these days have become more and more beautiful too. So carrying it around as jewelry, maybe in the form of a bracelet or pendant on a necklace can serve the user a dual role of both calling on wealth luck and for protection against bad luck.īecause bracelets are easy to wear as accessories, pixiu bracelets have become the accessory of choice for those who seek to call on the celestial powers of the creature. Therefore, the use and placement of it is mainly to attract wealth luck, and also to appease the Grand Duke. And it is also the pet of the Grand Duke. In short, the pixiu is a celestial creature highly associated with wealth. If you don’t fully know the story of the pi xiu, or pi yao, then you should check out it’s tale of how it became a creature that eats gold and never defacating. Part of it’s popularity can also be attributed to the pixiu being a cute-looking likable celestial creature. And many would even insist that it’s popularity has grown with each passing year. Then disappear when the market gets tired of it or when it suddenly doesn’t seem trendy anymore.īut in the world of symbolic feng shui, the pixiu bracelet has survived the test of time. ![]() ![]() It is all because they are natural rocks and cannot be as perfect as man-made ones.In every industry, trends tend to spruce up out of nowhere from time to time.
