Description
The Pixiu feng shui pendant in solid S925 silver is a hand-cast protective amulet presenting the most recognized guardian creature in Chinese tradition. Cast in sterling silver and finished by hand, the pendant carries the weight and detail expected of a serious piece of Chinese artisan jewelry.
The pendant is cast in S925 sterling silver, 92.5% pure silver alloyed for hardness and wear resistance. The Pixiu figure measures approximately 3.5cm in length and 1.5cm in width, with a total pendant height including the bail of approximately 4.5cm. Weight ranges from 8 to 12 grams. Surface detail includes scaled wings, a defined mane, and an open mouth, all resolved through lost-wax casting and hand-finishing. The smooth loop bail accommodates chains up to 4mm in width.
The pendant is worn on a chain or cord against the body. In traditional practice, the Pixiu is worn with its head facing outward, away from the body. Sterling silver requires basic maintenance: occasional polishing with a soft silver cloth will remove tarnish and restore the surface brightness. The pendant is suited to daily wear given the durability of S925 alloy at this weight.
Pixiu, also known as Pi Yao, has appeared in Chinese material culture since the Han dynasty, approximately 200 BCE. Feng Shui masters classify it as a celestial beast that absorbs wealth and does not release it. The creature was placed at the gates of imperial treasuries and adorned the belts of military commanders for centuries. Silver as an amulet material has its own lineage in Chinese craft: prized for its perceived protective properties and its association with high status in clan and guild networks.
Buyers often ask whether S925 silver will tarnish with regular wear. Sterling silver does tarnish gradually due to contact with air, moisture, and skin chemistry. The process is normal and reversible. A soft polishing cloth removes tarnish without abrading the surface. Storing the pendant in a dry pouch when not worn slows the process. The silver will acquire a slightly warmer tone with age, which many wearers consider an improvement over the initial bright finish.
