Pagoda Craft: Lost-wax cast zinc alloy pendant with antique gold patina finish.

Care Instructions
Cleaning: Use a microfiber cloth with diluted ammonia-free glass cleaner (spray on cloth, not directly).

Avoid: Chlorine pools, sulfur-rich environments, and contact with hard gemstones.

Replating: Rhodium layer lasts 3-5 years with care.

This design draws inspiration from Tibetan Buddhist and Bonpo traditions. The stylized dragon motif honors rather than replicates sacred iconography.
