Engraved thumb ring - Stylized relief decoration - Bat "Shùang fû" - Happiness. Longevity, success and prosperity. The upper engraved ring featuring bats "Shùang fû" that circle around the other ring. A thumb ring adorned with bats sculpted in metal according to the art of Oriental scholars, a fortune emblem forged to command luck for dynasties and withstand trials without bending. The bat, whose homophonic name resonates with the promise of fortune, was carved there in delicate friezes to attract prosperity and sustain dynasties through generations. Fashioned according to the tradition of the great sacred-art ateliers, this massive ring channels the energy of favorable beginnings and the harmony of vital breath. It is the emblem of lasting success, a power ring forged to arm the hand with indomitable clarity. This creature, often feared in Western culture, is a symbol of good fortune in China. The five bats of happiness « Wu fu » represent five blessings: long life, wealth, health, love and a natural death. The word “bat”, biàn fú, plays on the word for “happiness” fú. The design of two facing bats represents a “double happiness”, shùang fû. For the Chinese, if a family of bats nests near you, it is a very favorable omen announcing an era of prosperity and success.
