Auspiciousness Eggs by Ango, the Art&Craft of Feng Shui Egg for Home Decor items
By Ango
Located in Bangkok, TH
Auspiciousness Eggs by Ango is Feng Shui Egg Stone hand-weld and crafted for feng shui home decor items. Kotchakorn Promchai, the renowned Feng Shui master in Thailand invited Ango to create auspiciousness elements to enhance the Feng Shui of a space in a special collaboration. With their sophisticated craft these objects create a beautiful energy around them as well as commanding auspiciousness.
The meaning of Auspiciousness Feng Shui Eggs
Harmony, safety and a smooth path towards achieving goals are overall meaning of Auspicious Feng Shui Egg. The proportion of 52 to 54 mm in length signifies a wealthy life and the width of 42 to 44 mm signifies happiness and prosperity, while the coins placed inside each egg signify good fortune, good luck harmony and spiritual support.
• Silver Auspicious Egg
The colour of peace, justice, intelligence, future-facing, communication, maternity, happiness and prosperity.
• Gold Auspicious Egg
The colour of power, virtue, prestige, leadership, happiness and prosperity.
• Copper Auspicious Egg
The colour of elegance, happiness, charm, popularity, imagination and wealth.
The three colours of Auspiciousness Eggs
The three different colours of Auspiciousness Eggs reflect different aspects in the creation of new energy, happiness and prosperity. Bringing Auspiciousness Eggs into your home or place of work can bring harmony in love, along with good family relations and good fortune in your career, at the same time enabling wealth generation for you, your parents, children and the team who you work with.
The significance of the numbering used in creating the Auspiciousness Eggs
Number 1 signifies success, victory, smoothness in life, leadership and recognition.
Number 6 signifies unexpected fortune, divine blessing, imagination and happiness.
Number 8 signifies wealth, power, popularity and spiritual support.
Number 9 signifies a plenty of propitiousness and auspiciousness.
Each egg is then designed to house 8 silver coins, that are doubled so 16 coins in total; 9 gold coins that are then doubled, so 18 coins; and 10+9 copper coins so 19 coins in total. The technique of doubling is used to increase auspiciousness along with power, and the sequence 8, 9, 10 signifies an increasing power of auspiciousness. So with each piece of Auspiciousness Egg, the propitiousness is maximised in every way and it is recommended you can try one Auspiciousness Egg or one set of three eggs, to gain energy and then build up to 9 elements.
How to place by Auspiciousness Eggs for Feng Shui within your home.
One recommendation is to place the eggs on the desk space or study table. And for stock market investments, it is recommended the eggs are near to the computer. Another suggestion is on the cashier table, by the safe, or on a shelf with the other decorative items.
Who should have Auspiciousness Eggs?
The Auspiciousness Egg is a Feng Shui element that gains in energy starting with the determination patience and meditative skill shown by the artisans who create each piece by hand. This good fortune is for everyone no matter what year...

Desks are a funny thing. Their basic premise has remained the same for quite literally centuries: a flat surface, oftentimes a drawer, and potentially a shelf or two. However, the contents that lay upon the desk? Well, the evolution has been drastic to say the least.
Thank the Victorians for the initial popularity of the paperweight. The Industrial Revolution offered the novel concept of leisure-time to Europeans, giving them more time to take part in the then crucial activity of letter writing. Decorative glass paperweight designs were all the rage, and during the mid-19th-century some of the most popular makers included the French companies of Baccarat, St. Louis and Clichy.
As paper was exceedingly expensive in the early to mid-19th-century, every effort was made to utilize a full sheet of it. Paper knives, which gave way to the modern letter opener, were helpful for cutting paper down to an appropriate size.
Books — those bound volumes of paper, you may recall — used to be common occurrences on desks of yore and where there were books there needed to be bookends. As a luxury item, bookend designs have run the gamut from incorporating ultra-luxurious materials (think marble and Murano glass) to being whimsical desk accompaniments (animal figurines were highly popular choices).
Though the inkwell’s extinction was ushered in by the advent of the ballpoint pen (itself quasi-obsolete at this point), there is still significant charm to be had from placing one of these bauble-like objets in a central spot on one’s desk. You may be surprised to discover the mood-boosting powers an antique — and purposefully empty — inkwell can provide.
The clamor for desk clocks arose as the Industrial Revolution transitioned labor from outdoors to indoors, and allowed for the mass-production of clock parts in factories. Naturally, elaborate designs soon followed and clocks could be found made by artisans and luxury houses like Cartier.
