✨ Product Story and Care Instructions

The Story: The Conqueror’s Last Stand

Xiang Yu, the Hegemon-King of Chu, is one of China’s most iconic tragic heroes—immortalized in history, opera, and film. In "Farewell My Concubine," his final moments with his beloved consort, Yu Ji, embody loyalty, love, and heartbreaking valor. This hand-carved pendant captures Xiang Yu in his legendary armor, his expression poised between defiance and sorrow—a silent tribute to a warrior who chose honor over survival.

Wearing or hanging this piece is an invitation to remember that strength is not without tenderness, and that every hero’s story is woven with both triumph and sacrifice. It is for those who find beauty in tragedy, depth in tradition, and inspiration in figures who—even in their final act—teach us about loyalty, courage, and the art of letting go with grace.

Care Instructions for Your Xiang Yu Wooden Pendant

  1. Energetic Blessing & Renewal

    • Incense Clearing: Light sandalwood or cedar incense and pass the pendant through the smoke to refresh its narrative and protective spirit.

    • Storytelling Ritual: Before hanging, hold the carving and recall the story of Xiang Yu—allowing its themes of bravery and loyalty to resonate with your space.

    • Moonlight Charging: Place under a crescent or full moon to infuse with reflective, dramatic energy.

  2. Physical Care & Preservation

    • Cleaning: Gently dust with a soft, dry brush or cloth. Avoid water, oils, or chemical cleaners.

    • Avoid Humidity: Keep in a dry environment to prevent warping or cracking.

    • Display Considerations: If hung in direct sunlight, rotate occasionally to prevent uneven fading of the wood.

  3. Hanging & Handling Guidance

    • When used as a car hanging, ensure it is secure and does not obstruct visibility while driving.

    • Adjust cord length by retying the knot carefully—wood may be delicate near string holes.

    • Handle with respect; though sturdy, carvings can chip if impacted against hard surfaces.

  4. Artisanal Character & Longevity

    • Each piece is unique, with slight variations in grain, carving depth, and stain—an authentic mark of handmade art.

    • Over time, the wood may develop a richer patina, deepening the emotional and visual texture of the carving.

    • If the cord wears, replace it with a similar braided style to maintain the pendant’s traditional aesthetic.
