When we were kids, we couldn't wait to grow up. Now that we have, most of us have realized the same thing: waking up healthy, with the people we love safe and well, is the real win. We used to chase bigger paychecks. Now we just want to stay well enough to enjoy the life we've built, and keep our families that way too.
This year, alongside our Wealth Turtle, we're introducing the Health and Vitality Turtle & Golden Wellness Vault - a set built entirely around that quieter, bigger wish.
The Health Turtle
Cast from the same solid brass as the rest of the series, with a hand-applied gold-sand finish that never tarnishes and needs no polishing, the Health Turtle carries a peach in its mouth instead of a coin. Peach is the traditional symbol of long life and well-being, and its shell is engraved with the character for "health" (康), a wish for steady vitality and a life free of worry.
The Golden Wellness Vault (New for 2027)
Like its counterpart, this isn't a shell or a simple charm, the turtle shell is a small vault built to house the Health Turtle and a pair of vitality bells. Every surface carries symbolism chosen for both the Year of the Goat - 2027 and the theme of long life:
- A ram's-head medallion at the center, welcoming health and good fortune for the Goat year
- The character for "goat" (羊), a phonetic echo of "auspicious" (祥) is a wish for smooth, steady blessings
- Ripe peaches, the classic emblem of longevity and well-being
- "Southern Mountain" motifs, drawn from the traditional blessing "as high as the Southern Mountain" is a wish for a long life
- Lingzhi mushroom detailing, long associated with vitality and long life in Chinese tradition
- Blooming longevity flowers, for lasting health and steady happiness
Two bells, two wishes
Tucked inside the vault alongside the Health Turtle are two small bells:
- The Vitality Gold Bell, for energy and a full tank every day
- The Wellness Silver Bell, for steady health and smooth sailing
A gentle shake brings a soft chime - a small daily reminder to check in on yourself, and on the people you care about.
Wear it your way
Carry the Health Turtle loose in a wallet or bag as a quiet daily companion, or house it inside the Wellness Vault with both bells and clip it to a bag, keys, or your car's rearview mirror using the included short or long beaded chain.
Temple-blessed, the traditional way
Every Health Turtle & Wellness Vault set is carried through a formal incense-blessing ceremony at one of Taiwan's most prestigious and historic temples, Dajia Temple, following the same centuries-old ritual as the rest of the collection. Each set ships in a keepsake gift box.
A wish for the Year of the Goat
May you carry good health with you every day. May peace and steadiness follow you home. May the gold bell ring in energy, and the silver bell keep you well for years to come.
