In Chinese culture, phoenix bird is known as “king of birds” while peony is “king of flowers” and a combination of them symbolizes happiness, harmony and prosperity. This is a pattern that was exclusively used by the empress in ancient China.

Round beads: approximately 7.8 - 8.0mm; Wrist Size: fit for 18mm;

* Matte / unpolished beads could look a bit dry under low humidity. In such case, you could coat the beads with a thin layer of natural, colorless oil once in a while to add natural shine to the beads.

Alashan Agate has undergone hundreds of millions of years of geological vicissitudes and sand tempering. The gemstone is found in Mongolia and is also called "colorful jade" because of the jade-like, semi-translucent texture.

The alashan agate is all natural and then polished into beads. There might be small natural pores (smaller than 1mm), maybe tiny cracks and crystal lines on the beads. It is all because they are natural rocks and cannot be as perfect as man-made ones.
