This handcrafted pendant is a traditional Chinese cultural art piece, inspired by historic decorative motifs and folk symbolism. Made from high-quality cupronickel (a durable copper-nickel alloy), it features a square, openwork ‘treasure bowl’ design — a classic motif in Chinese decorative arts representing abundance and prosperity.
Inside the bowl are seven finely detailed, gilded rice grains, each individually cast and secured to allow gentle movement when worn. The grains are smooth, lustrous, and precisely finished, enhancing the pendant’s visual appeal and tactile elegance.
