Hi friends, as promised, I have snapped some pictures and compiled the meaning and significance of some popular amulets for Chinese New Year. All these amulets are tastefully designed to cater to today’s modern society.
These auspicious Gold Fish symbolize prosperity, abundance of good fortune and marital bliss. A pair of Gold Fish also ensures joyous unions.
The Pi Yao is a mystical creature which is good as a protection amulet as well as it attracts good luck and wealth.
This interesting jade bracelet consists of all 12 animal zodiac in the Chinese Lunar Calendar. Each year is being represented by an animal and it is believed that the person born in the year would have certain characteristics of the animal. Of course to know more about it, you can refer to Lilian Too.
The Wu Lo is one the most potent symbols of good health & longevity. A perfect gift for someone you care about and whose longevity and good health matters to you!- Lilian Too
Chinese Coins of course means prosperity for the wearer. Hanging Chinese Coins in significant locations are used to enhance money luck, thus wearing these “money” on your wrists definitely will bring you wealth luck this new year!
The Cicada is the most powerful symbol of immortality and an amulet against politics. It is also a symbol of happiness and youthfulness. Carrying an image of a cicada protects you from danger and disloyal friends.-Lilian Too
Any amulets of flowers signifies blooming opportunities!
The dragon is the ultimate symbol of auspiciousness. It is the most important symbol both in Feng Shui and in Chinese folklore. Double dragons grasping a pearl signifies power and authority. This powerful symbol of good fortune also works extremely well for your business. – edited from Lilian Too
