            Styling and Symbolism: Jade Ping An Kou and Ping An Medallion

What is Ping An Kou and Ping An Medallion? 

The Ping An Kou, with its central hole and smooth, rounded surface, features two perfect concentric circles symbolizing the connected hearts of the giver and wearer, ensuring peace and happiness. The outer circle represents a broad heart, while the inner circle signifies inner tranquility. Beyond its symbolism, this charm is also seen as a talisman for attracting wealth and enhancing business, resembling an ancient Chinese coin. 

The Ping An Medallion, whether square or round, embodies safety and well-being in its simple, flat form. Often engraved with characters like "Safety," "Fortune," and "Longevity," these medallions express wishes for safety, health, and happiness. Popular as gifts for children, they also make meaningful family heirlooms or housewarming presents, bringing stability and protection.

How to Choose Ping An Kou or Ping An Medallion? 

Whether for a gift or personal use, here are some tips to help you choose the perfect peace button or flat pendant based on personality and face shape.

Based on Personality:

  • Serious and Reserved: If you or the recipient has a serious and reserved personality and wants to appear more approachable and friendly, a Ping An Kou is ideal. Its smooth, round shape enhances likability.
  • Easygoing and Gentle: For those who are gentle and easygoing, a flat pendant makes a great daily accessory. Its symmetrical shape can strengthen determination and add a sense of stability and maturity.

Based on Face Shape:

  • Narrow Face: Choose a round flat pendant. A shorter necklace balances the overall proportions and creates a harmonious look.
