The Chinese Dragon:
In ancient Chinese culture the dragon was revered as a powerful, mythical creature who had the power to command the wind and the rain, as well as mystify those around it by taking different bodily forms. The modern form of the Chinese dragon is a creature with a winding body and tail, large mouth, and horns. In China, the dragon is a symbol of power and nobility. To commemorate this creature, every twelve years, The Year of the Dragon is celebrated. Modern Chinese astrologers claim that children born during The Year of the Dragon, will be healthier, wealthier, and live a longer life.

Onyx    


Onyx:

Onyx is a variety of chalcedony quartz that features a fine texture with a smooth black color. Some onyx can display white bands or ribbons against black or brown backgrounds. Mined in Brazil, India, California and Uruguay, most onyx today is color-enhanced to increase its depth of color. It ranks a 6.5 on the Mohs Scale and is an ideal stone for carving. In fact, it is a favorite material of lapidary artists.

Onyx was very popular with the ancient Greeks and Romans. The name comes from the Greek word “onux,” which means fingernail. Legend says that one day frisky Cupid cut the divine fingernails of Venus with an arrowhead while she was sleeping. He left the clippings scattered on the sand and the fates turned them into stone so that no part of her heavenly body would ever perish. In Greek times, almost all colors of chalcedony were called onyx. Later, the Romans narrowed the term to refer to only the black and dark brown colors, while the reddish brown and white onyx became known as sardonyx. Highly valued in Rome, sardonyx was especially used for seals because it was said to never stick to the wax. Roman General Publius Cornelius Scipio was famous for wearing sardonyx.

Worn during mourning in the Victorian age, onyx is now traditionally given as a 7th wedding anniversary gift. It is thought to increase happiness, intuition and instincts. The stone is also believed to cool the yearnings of love and decrease sexual desire.

About Roz Kwan
Roz Kwan started in the jewelry business more than 20 years ago when her then future father-in-law asked if she was interested in importing and selling jade from Hong Kong. Although she didn't really know what she was getting into, Roz decided to go for it. She sold her first pieces of jade jewelry at a local art fair and the response was incredible. Roz knew she had found what she was meant to do: create, merchandise, market and sell beautiful jewelry.

Roz now enjoys a very successful career as a full-time jewelry designer. She gets to work with her husband, who oversees all of their daily business operations. Together they are able to fulfill their simple mission of offering beautiful, quality merchandise at wonderful prices.
