Ping’an Kou Cinnabar Pixiu Pendant – 27 mm

A pendant inspired by traditional Chinese design that combines the rounded shape of the Ping’an Kou (平安扣) with the figure of the Pixiu (貔貅), creating a compact, elegant piece rich in cultural symbolism.

Its thick, rounded shape resembles a small “donut,” with a smooth, polished finish that adds volume and a more solid visual presence. At the top, the raised Pixiu figure adds character and depth to the design.

In Chinese tradition, the Pixiu is an auspicious creature symbolically associated with prosperity, protection, and good fortune.

The circular shape of the Ping’an Kou traditionally represents peace, safety, harmony, and fulfillment. Its continuous outline also evokes the idea of balance and continuity.

The intense red color of cinnabar completes the piece’s meaning. In Chinese culture, red is associated with joy, fortune, vitality, and good omens.
