♡ A printed card of the following description will be included with your bracelet:

PIXIU, also known as Pi Xiu, Pi Yao, Tian Lu, Bi Xie or Bai Jie, is an auspicious mythical creature with a fierce looking dragon head, winged lion body and claws. Some Pixiu have feathers, antlers and hooves. The Feng Shui celestial animal, still widely popular in Chinese culture today, is known mostly as a symbol of wealth dominance; attracting and preserving money. Pixiu is also believed to acquire all varieties of good fortune such as shielding its owner from evil spirits and negative emotions, as well as any form of danger or bad health. According to legend, there were two different Pixiu, namely male and female. The male, called Pi, with his head facing left; and the female Xiu, facing right. Today, most Pixiu are of a single sex. To attain the most benefit from Pixiu’s voracious appetite for wealth, make sure to wear your bracelet on your left hand. Chinese Feng Shui practices dictate that the left side of the body receives the world’s energy (CHI or QI) while the right side releases energy. Wearing your bracelet with Pixiu's mouth facing outward away from your center means that wealth CHI enters into the left hand and exits out the right hand, drawing money, good fortune, prosperity and longevity in toward you from all directions. Pixiu can serve you best when you make a personal connection to it and infuse it with your energy when you receive it. First you must reset any residual energy it may be carrying. You can do this best by "saging it” or you can place your bracelet directly in the moonlight for one night or rinse it directly under a soft flow of water. Any of these methods will recharge the vibrational energy of the bracelet. Next, you must "program" your intention for Pixiu so that its energy aligns with the energy of your personal prayer. This will connect Pixiu to you and strengthen its effects. Turn your intention into an affirmation which you can repeat to yourself while holding and wearing the bracelet. As you work toward manifesting this goal, several times a day repeat the mantra while touching your Pixiu's body in mindful reflection. Do not wear your Pixiu bracelet to bed and avoid keeping the bracelet in your bedroom. Pixiu’s aggressive energy could disrupt your sleep. Rather, at night place it in a bowl with Pixiu's head facing a door or window to ensure it will continue to "hunt" for wealth. Never keep your Pixiu bracelet on the floor and do not place it next to a mirror. It is not recommended that children under the age of 16 and elderly people over the age of 70 wear a Pixiu bracelet. The reason being that they may not be able to process the vital energy that is emitted by fierce Pixiu. Pixiu is also not recommended to be worn by pregnant or menstruating women. Finally, Feng Shui practices don't recommend wearing more than one Pixiu bracelet on your left wrist at a time and you shouldn’t let other people touch or handle your bracelet because it might divert Pixiu’s loyalty to someone else.

AVENTURINE ~ Combining Pixiu with Aventurine gemstones makes for a highly charged pairing as both are used to attract luck, abundance and wealth. Aventurine comes from the Latin “adventus," which means “to venture” or “to chance” thereby making it a fitting name for a gemstone that is used to bring good fortune and prosperity into all aspects of life – especially in high stakes situations. As a stone of opportunity, Aventurine is commonly used to help manifest confidence, and to promote creativity and entrepreneurship in the desire achieve one’s goals. It enhances leadership qualities, decisiveness and encourages perseverance. 

MALACHITE ~ A powerful copper carbonate mineral that forms in unusual patterns. Traditionally, Malachite was used for protection of the Evil Eye  and was believed to be used in ancient Egypt for jewelry as early as 3000 BCE. Today, Malachite is still considered one of the most important stones for protecting against negative energies. It is believed that the stone creates a “cloak of invisibility” around the wearer – making one less confrontational and less susceptible to negative vibrations and by attracting positive energy. Malachite also helps with emotional balance: offering one willpower to get past emotional and physical blockages, aiding with self-confidence and self-responsibility, and helping one to progress on their path of working on themselves.

ROSE QUARTZ ~ The crystal of universal love restores trust and harmony in relationships, encourages unconditional love and purifies and opens the heart at all levels. Rose quartz energies promote love, self-love, friendship, deep inner healing, and feelings of peace and recovery. It retains wonderful properties for women's health, specifically hormonal balance and protection of the female organs. It also promotes sexual vitality and sensuality yet carries the softness of feminine peace and tenderness, compassion and nourishment.

MOONSTONE ~ Known as the “stone of new beginnings”, Moonstone carries the essence of the divine feminine as formed under the light of Mother Moon. By stimulating the primal energy located at the base of the spine, Moonstone helps to heal reproductive organs, boosts sexual energy, re-aligns the menstrual cycle, and balances hormones. It is also used to aid deep insight, helps to regulate one’s emotions, and can bring harmony to relationships. As such, it helps to relieve the anxiety and tension during childbirth, soothes the stress of breastfeeding and promotes healthy lactation.

CLEAR QUARTZ ~ Known as the "master crystal" because it contains the full spectrum of light and works with all of the main energy channels of Chi to bring the emotional body into balance. It is known to strengthen and stabilize the body’s energy fields and promote harmony as well as to enhance the intentions of other crystals it is paired with. Clear Quartz will neutralize negative energy, and help to ground your soul.

♡ CARE INSTRUCTIONS ♡ 
Your stretch bracelet is handcrafted to be strong and lasting, but the elastic, stones, and beads are not eternal. Likewise, almost all metal discolors over time. Therefore, gold and silver plating – known for its beauty and affordability – requires care. You can prolong the finish of your jewelry as well as the vibrancy of your gemstones by following these simple tips:
> DO NOT GET YOUR BRACELET WET ~ Keep your jewelry away from moisture. It is best to remove your bracelet before washing your hands, showering, exercising and swimming since contact with moisture can break down the elastic, ruin finishes and tarnish metals and charms. 
> AVOID CONTACT WITH CHEMICALS ~ Perfume, soap, moisturizer, lotion, hand sanitizer or other chemicals can weaken the elastic, harm natural crystals and result in the discoloration and peeling of beads and gemstones. Be careful.
> AVOID HEAT EXPOSURE ~ Leaving your bracelet in sunlight or exposed to heat for an extended period of time may lead to elastic erosion and can cause beads and metal to discolor. Remove your bracelet while exercising.
> ROLL IT ON AND OFF ~ Do not over-stretch your bracelet! It has been made with pre-stretched elastic. Over-stretching it beyond its capacity will cause it to break. To keep from overly stretching it to put it on and off, slide your fingers into the bracelet first, then gently roll the beads over your knuckles and then onto your wrist. Do the same when taking your bracelet off.
> STORE SAFELY ~ Always store your jewelry safely in a soft pouch, soft cloth – or secure in a box or drawer – separate from other jewelry. Never wear your jewelry to bed and remove when sleeping. Use a soft microfiber cloth to polish.
