The pixiu is another Chinese mythical creature that resembles a winged dragon and is regarded as an auspicious animal for wealth. The myth is really quite funny too! Apparently this pixiu violated a law in heaven so the jade emperor punished it by limiting its diet to gold and sealing its *ahem* butt-hole. Which means gold can enter its body but can't leave it. That's the story of how it became a symbol of storing wealth and good fortune. Man.Anyway... I'm quite pleased with how this double loop bracelet turned out. Gorgeous rich chocolate & powder almond Swarovski pearls, freshwater pearl coins & metallic gold czech beads adorn the long chain, which you're meant to wind around your wrist twice before hooking it on the brass loop from which the pixiu sits on itfloral filigree 'throne'. Chinoiserie has never been this classic cool!
