Yellow Qinan Agarwood Ruyi Pendant (金丝结黄奇楠如意牌吊坠)
Ageing Period: Over 1500 Years
Grade: Yellow Qinan – The Imperial Gift Tier

The Talisman of Fulfilment, Favour, and Ascending Authority

At the intersection of ancient diplomacy, royal favour, and refined metaphysics lies the Yellow Qinan Agarwood Ruyi Pendant – a ceremonial artefact of striking presence and spiritual poise. Carved from the exquisitely rare Golden Knot Yellow Qinan Agarwood (金丝结黄奇楠), this pendant is more than a luxury treasure – it is a sovereign signal of progress, prosperity, and earned prestige.

The Ruyi (如意), literally translating to “as one wishes,” is one of the most powerful metaphysical forms in Chinese history. Once held by emperors during courtly ceremonies or bestowed upon noble ministers and visiting dignitaries, the Ruyi was never given lightly. It signified trust, divine alignment, and the fulfilment of great intentions. In this interpretation, its presence is elevated further by the unparalleled metaphysical properties of Yellow Qinan – an agarwood so prized, it was reserved strictly for the royal family and high-ranking elites.

Today, Grand Master David Goh introduces this legendary symbol in pendant form – crafted for those poised for elevation, navigating complexity, and forging lasting legacies built on grace, timing, and strategic presence.

Material Profile: Yellow Qinan Agarwood

The Yellow Qinan (黄奇楠) lineage stands apart in the Qinan hierarchy for its luxurious balance of warmth, medicinal depth, and charismatic resonance.

This pendant is carved from the Exquisite Grade Golden Knot (金丝结) – regarded as the finest among Yellow Qinan grades due to its:

• Golden-amber tones: Emblematic of royal wealth and spiritual authority
• Satin-like sheen: A natural gloss developed over centuries of ageing
• Fine resin patterning: Signaling mature potency and elite craftsmanship

Surface Characteristics:

• Grain: Tight, smooth, and flowing with a gentle undulation that mimics silk
• Patina: Warm golden hues deepen with touch, responding to body temperature and spiritual alignment
• Lustre: A rare matte-gloss duality that speaks to quiet opulence rather than brash spectacle

Fragrance Sequence

Yellow Qinan is distinguished by its elegant, multi-phase aroma. Upon interaction with the body’s natural warmth, the following scent notes unfurl:

• Amber & Cinnamon – The top layer awakens clarity, authority, and mental sharpness. Often associated with opening speeches, high-stakes meetings, and negotiations requiring steady leadership.
• Floral Heart – The middle phase introduces balance, magnetism, and sincerity. It is the scent of connection – ideal for interpersonal influence, trust-building, and long-form alliances.
• Spice & Smokiness – The final evolution, akin to aged cognac, envelops the wearer in a field of maturity and persuasive charisma. This note lingers, creating a lasting impression in every room entered.

Ageing Duration:

Over 1500 years, the Yellow Qinan has matured beneath the earth in a rare fusion of pressure, humidity, and resin alchemy – resulting in the most balanced energetic profile among all Qinan tiers.

Metaphysical Properties

The Yellow Qinan Agarwood Ruyi Pendant is a sophisticated harmoniser – designed not for brute force advancement, but for elegant rise, earned credibility, and divine support at every step of ascent.

1. Wish-Fulfilment Activation

As a Ruyi-shaped artefact, this pendant acts as an amplifier for long-held dreams and intentions, crystallising them into tangible realities through benefactor alignment and timely opportunity.

2. Career and Public Elevation

The pendant’s energetic field supports the wearer in gaining recognition, titles, and strategic visibility – particularly within hierarchical ecosystems such as government, corporate leadership, or professional consulting.

3. Energetic Charisma & Favour

Through its floral-sweet aroma and symmetrical shape, it helps soften social pathways, making others more receptive to influence, proposals, and alignment.

4. Prosperity Through People

The pendant attracts benefactors, referrals, and alliance partners by transforming the wearer into a natural magnet for opportunity and goodwill.

This artefact is not just about wealth – it is about sustainable prestige, people-powered acceleration, and energetically supported rise.

Design Significance

Every curvature and motif of the Yellow Qinan Agarwood Ruyi Pendant has been intentional, ceremonial, and deeply symbolic.

The Ruyi tablet form symbolises wish‑fulfilment, smooth progression, and imperial favour – a ceremonial sceptre historically bestowed by emperors to trusted ministers, victorious generals, and visiting dignitaries.

Crowning the pendant is a finely sculpted Pixiu – the celestial guardian renowned for attracting wealth, protecting fortune, and aligning benefactors to the wearer’s path.

The front bears the auspicious inscription 吉祥如意 (“Auspiciousness and Wish‑Fulfilment”), while the reverse features a regal 瑞狮 (“Auspicious Lion”), a homophonic blessing for 事事如意 (“May everything go according to your wishes”) – completing the design as a continuous cycle of imperial favour, harmony, and realised aspirations.

Ideal For:

This Yellow Qinan Agarwood Treasure is suited for individuals navigating seasons of visibility, influence, and upward mobility. Whether in corporate boardrooms, diplomatic corridors, or public platforms, its wearer gains subtle yet profound energetic leverage.

• Career Professionals on the verge of promotion or high-stakes exposure
• Public Figures, Lawyers, and Diplomats managing perception, alliances, and influence
• Founders and Executives refining brand image and legacy architecture
• Advisors and Mentors seeking to elevate others while anchoring their own authority

This is not a pendant for sudden gain. It is a slow-blooming artefact for those who move with purpose, power, and poise.

Yellow Qinan – The Imperial Gift Tier

Among all the Qinan types, Yellow Qinan holds a unique distinction as the “Imperial Gift Tier.” Unlike White Qinan (reserved for the Emperor) or Green Qinan (held by royal family members), Yellow Qinan was the only form ever gifted to non-Chinese royalty – a gesture of supreme favour.

To wear Yellow Qinan today is to carry an ancient signal of heaven-sanctioned goodwill, alliance, and prestige – a frequency that attracts help, eases resistance, and positions the wearer for effortless progression.
