This green jade (青玉) piece is a pendant-style carving in the palm carvings collection: wearable and holdable at the same time. The stone is described as smooth in outline, fine and oily, with an even, deep green tone, and the Pixiu crouches low with round, wide eyes and interlocked teeth in a fierce, protective pose. Listed at 40 x 30 mm and 45.5 g, it is the most compact piece in this group. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the depth, the cord or fitting, and send in-hand photographs.

The meaning behind this piece
The Pixiu is a mythic guardian creature, and in pendant form it is traditionally worn for protection and as a symbol of keeping hold of what one has. Its crouching, watchful pose suits a piece meant to be worn. These are cultural associations, not promised outcomes.
Sizing and wear
At 40 x 30 mm (approx. 1.6 x 1.2 in) and 45.5 g, this is a compact piece that wears comfortably on a cord yet still has a satisfying weight in the palm; depth is confirmed per piece.
Keeping this piece at its best
Wipe with a soft, slightly damp cloth and dry it straight away.
Avoid wearing it into perfume, lotion or harsh chemicals.

Should I wear or display this Pixiu?
It is made as a pendant, so it can be worn on a cord, but its compact, rounded form also sits nicely in the hand as a worry piece. Ask Yufu Jade to confirm the cord or fitting before ordering.
How do I care for a pendant worn against the skin?
Wipe it with a soft damp cloth after wear, keep it clear of perfume and lotion, and store it in a padded pouch so it does not scratch against other jewellery.
