Colorful Crystal Liuli Piyao Tassels


Colorful Crystal Liuli Piyao Tassels


This beautiful amulet is shown with a pair of the Piyao. It is embellished with a yellow mystic knot to enhance its luck potency and finished off with a creative knot and two oriental tassels.


The Piyao is a mystical creature that is an extremely powerful and auspicious amulet of good fortune. It is said to have a voracious appetite that is infinite. The interesting part is that the Piyao does not have an anus, which means things only go in but never come out. It is for this reason the Piyao has become a favorite must-have for businessmen and merchants wishing loads of money rolling in without spilling out a dime. Besides that, the Chinese adore the Piyao because of its protective, obedient and loyal nature. It is believed that the Piyao will always try its best to fulfill its owner’s wish and safeguard the health and welfare of its owner.


This item is made from colorful crystal or "liu li" using the pate de verre technique, an ancient method of casting art glass predominantly used during the Art Nouveau Period. Colorful Crystal is a wonderful material making a wave in Feng Shui world lately because of its exquisiteness, fine quality, distinctive luster and captivating color blend. Every piece made of genuine colorful crystal is unique because it is hand-crafted and hence the color mixture will never be identical. The whole process of producing a colorful crystal piece which involves creating the mold, filling, burning, cooling and polishing is very delicate and tedious and may take up to a week to complete. Furthermore, the mold used to cast it can be utilised only once before it is disposed, which explains the relatively much higher price compared with other materials.

Price Per Pc : $42 (comes in a gift box)
