Emerald - Imperial Necklace "Ruyi" - Wealth and Eternal...

Qing-style ceremonial collar supporting an important Ruyi soundable Lock Pendant with cloisonné enamels. Dynastic fortune and eternal vitality. The imperial seal that locks in luck and makes abundance ring with every step. A piece worn to protect gains, attract the five blessings, and sanctify the aura against stagnant energies. The Longevity Lock is one of the most powerful talismans of Taoist magic and traditional Feng Shui. Designed as a spiritual fortress, its primary function is to “lock” the vital breath (Qi) inside the body, preventing illness and misfortune from entering. It is an absolute guardian that secures the soul and binds it firmly to the living world, ensuring that accumulated prosperity never escapes. This necklace is an action artifact. The massive pendant, carved in the shape of a celestial cloud and enhanced with colored enamels, acts as a visual shield. But its true power lies in the sound: the five movable bells create a constant acoustic vibration. This clear, metallic tinkle purifies the space around the wearer, instantly dispersing harmful entities and heavy thoughts. It creates an inviolable sonic security perimeter. The effect on the wearer is a sense of fullness and invulnerability. This jewel establishes a royal presence, turning anxiety into confidence. It recalls the splendors of imperial courts where every ornament served to elevate rank and prolong life. It is the amulet of those who wish to enjoy their wealth for a long time and in perfect health.

On the back of the medal, the engraved relief characters typically proclaim the formula Chang Ming Fu Gui (“Long Life, Wealth and Honor”). It is not a simple blessing, but a magical decree carved in metal. Historically given to newborns to protect them from demons, it has become the prerogative of adults seeking to preserve their status and health against the wear of time. The Five Grelots and the “Wu Fu” The five bells suspended from the bottom of the lock are not decorative; they are operative. They represent the Wu Fu (the Five Chinese Blessings): Longevity, Wealth, Health, Virtue, and a Peaceful Death (the fulfillment of destiny). Each movement of the wearer activates these blessings, sending a signal to the universe to maintain these five pillars of happiness in constant balance. The Ruyi Form: The Scepter of Power The upper silhouette of the lock repeats the curve of the Ruyi, the ceremonial scepter of emperors and Buddhist monks, whose name means “According to your wishes.” This sacred mushroom-like or cloud-like shape symbolizes spiritual authority and the ability to manifest one’s desires. It grants the talisman the power to fulfill the wearer’s intentions.
