Ancient Chinese Coins are tied together with red string or ribbons to activate the essence of good fortune.

Chinese feng-shui beliefs:
The Coins should be hung on the inside of the doors, so as to be deemed already inside a house.

Always use three, six, seven or eight coins coins, rather than four or five, as these numbers are considered very auspicious and lucky.

In business, three coins tied with ribbon or string, are use to activate, or bring in, the flow of money or luck. They should be placed in a red envelope and taped under the computer at work, or taped onto the cash register or stuck on the front cover of your account ledger. The coins can also be placed in the cash box.

When placing these coins on account book covers or on the inside of doors, always stick them with the yang side up; the side which has the 4 Chinese characters written on it, should be above and visible and the other side, with the two characters, should be below.

When we use coins personally, it is to symbolize a never ending source of income, we can place the three coins, tied with a ribbon or string in our handbag, wallet or purse.

Hanging coins on the main door handle is an excellent way to bring money luck into our home to benefit all the members of the household. The coins should be hung on the inside of the door and not outside.

Coins as Auspicious Gifts:
Ancient Chinese Coins tied with a ribbon or string are very auspicious gifts, since the act of giving, in itself is most auspicious, we double our own luck each time we give some away.

Add the Coins to the presents and gifts that we give to celebrate weddings and birthdays of our loved family members and good friends.

The Lovebirds are a symbol of love and romantic devotion!

LoveBirds form a strong attachment to their partners and are said to die when separated from one another, hence, they also represent fidelity.

Chinese feng-shui beliefs:
The Lovebirds, made of ceramic or crystal, should be displayed in the Southern corner, either on a table or inside a cabinet to enhance your reputation. Over the years, you are also able to achieve recognition and attain great success in your chosen profession. If the Lovebirds are the crimson Phoenix, this is even more auspicious.
