Stingray jewelry fortune


           Stingray jewelry is an accompaniment of fortune. JewelPelle has some information of this belief.
          
           Chinese believe in that Stingray (Shagreen or Galuchat) is an accompaniment of fortune.
It will bring the wealthiness as a Chinese proverb “Nian Nian You Yo".
The fortune will be with you all through the year.

               Nian Nian You Yu is a greeting words for Chinese new year.
Meaning abundant Year By Year, which always means "Money".
"Fish" and "abundant" have the same pronunciation "Yu", but in different character.
Therefore, Chinese always using fish to represent abundant.

               Another similar explaination is every Chinese family tends to serve at least one fish dish during
Chinese New Year."Nian Nian You Yu" means "there are some fish every year",
But fish in Chinese (Yu) shares the same sound with the word 'extra' or 'leftover'.
So, the true meaning serving the dish really is "there is some (fish) leftover from the previous year, every year".
Which always meaning to money.
