There is cause for much celebration as the Chinese Lunar New Year is nearly upon us. Brands from Chopard to Royal Selangor are just as excited to introduce their new range of products that pay homage to the humble rat, the first zodiac animal that will start a new cycle in the zodiac calendar.
G-RAT-IFYING GIFTS
From a grand celebration for the whole neighbourhood to a small family get together, Royal Selangor celebrates Chinese New Year in all its forms with the Year of the Rat collection.
Welcoming in the Chinese New Year with good feng shui, great energy and fantastic gifts has been made easier with the release of Royal Selangor’s Year of the Rat collection. Following the ancient tale of the Jade Emperor’s special race in which the rat won ï¬rst place, the ï¬gures within the collection reflect the story that has come to be associated with the intelligent, optimistic creature that is the rat. Embellished in 24K gold with only a 1,000 pieces available worldwide, the Limited Edition Plaque from the collection makes for a sentimental gift this new year. The plaque showcases a pair of rats within a circular frame caught within a rectangular frame featuring a delicate wave and water motif in the background on an imperial dragon robe, referencing the Jade Emperor from the tale. For those interested in a simpler gift, the Year of the Rat collection also features a wealth bowl with the 12 zodiac signs depicted in frieze style with the central medallion showcasing a rat. The ï¬nal piece that Royal Selangor added to the collection is a quaint rodent-themed ï¬gurine and seal, guaranteed to win over anyone’s heart. Be it a single limited edition plaque, or the entire collection, gift your loved one’s prosperity and abundance with Royal Selangor’s Year of the Rat collection.
