Chinese Lock Charm
Lock charms are Chinese numismatic charms shaped like ancient Chinese security locks. Their shape resembles a basket or in most cases the Chinese character for "concave" (凹).
The pendants tend to be flat, without any moving parts, or the functionality of the locks they symbolize. They are decorated with both Chinese characters and symbols.
Like other types of Chinese numismatic charms, lock charms are meant to protect the wearers from harm, misfortune, and evil spirits, and to bless them with good luck, longevity, and a high social status rank (through the imperial examination system).

Gourd:
The Hulu, or gourd, carries rich cultural symbolism. Traditionally, it represents good fortune, longevity, and protection. Its round, full shape is seen as a vessel that gathers blessings, while its two-chamber form symbolizes harmony between heaven and earth. Many people believe the Hulu can ward off negative energy, attract prosperity, and promote health and well-being. Because of these positive meanings, it’s often used as a charm or decoration to invite luck, peace, and abundant life into one’s home.

Color Symbolism in Tibetan Buddhism:
Blue: Purity and healing.
White: Learning and knowledge in Buddhism.
Red: Life force and preservation.
Green: Balance and harmony.
Yellow: Rootedness and renunciation.
Black: Repels evil spirits.

Red String

♥ Protection ♥ Luck ♥ Faith ♥ Strength ♥ Connection ♥

In lineages of Tibetan Vajrayana Buddhism, tying a cord or string around the wrist is common during ceremonies. Traditionally, the Lama blesses the string and then ties a knot and imbues it with a mantra. Similar to other traditions, it's said that these red cords bring luck and offer protection. In ancient Chinese legend, the Red Thread of Fate is - invisible and ties all those whose lives will intertwine together. It is governed by the Chinese God of marriage, Yue Lao, as it's primarily associated with the link between two people destined to be married. Throughout history and across philosophies, the red string has been worn for protection, faith, good luck, strength, and connection.
Today many people use it as a reminder that they're not alone. It's also a symbol of being loved, supported and, feeling safe and secure. For others, it's a prompt to stay positive while facing any adversity.
