FAQ
What does the gourd represent?
In this design, the gourd expresses blessings and prosperity through the Chinese wordplay between “hulu” and “fulu.” It carries a wish for good fortune rather than a promise of financial gain.
Where are the pearls placed?
Two freshwater pearls sit inside the gourd-shaped pendant. Their graduated sizes follow its smaller upper curve and fuller lower curve, with the openwork front revealing glimpses of their luster.
Which color options are available?
The necklace comes in silver tone and rose gold tone. Both use a 925 sterling silver base and the same gourd-and-pearl design.
Who It’s For

Care Guidelines
- Keep pearls away from perfume, hairspray, and cleaning products; remove the necklace before bathing or swimming.
- Wipe gently with a soft cloth after wear and store separately. Avoid soaking, ultrasonic cleaning, and abrasive silver polish on the pearls or plated surfaces.
