Ping’an Kou Cinnabar Pendant – Peace, Harmony and Good Fortune

A simply and elegantly designed pendant inspired by the traditional Ping’an Kou (平安扣), one of the most recognizable shapes in Chinese culture.

Its circular design, with a rounded central opening, traditionally symbolizes peace, safety, harmony, and fulfillment. The continuous, cornerless shape also conveys a sense of balance and stability, which is why this type of pendant is frequently used as a symbol of good wishes.

The intense red hue of cinnabar adds warmth and personality to the piece. In Chinese culture, red is associated with good fortune, joy, vitality, and good omens.

Thanks to its clean, minimalist design, it is an easy-to-match pendant suitable for both everyday wear and as a gift for someone special.

• Medium size: approximately 30 mm in diameter and 10 mm thick
