Pixiu is a mythical Chinese creature known for its protective and auspicious qualities in Feng Shui. When incorporated into jewelry, metal beads featuring Pixiu designs are often crafted to resemble the creature's features—typically a winged lion with a dragon's head and a lion's body.
These beads might vary in size and intricacy, but they usually depict the distinct characteristics of the Pixiu. They're believed to bring good luck, wealth, and protection to the wearer, making them popular elements in jewelry and accessories.
