Certificate of Authenticity - Announcement by Master Yun Long Zi, Part 2

To ensure highest possibility of authenticity, the Certificate of Authenticity contains the following three features:

(1) Paper and Printing

Every Certificate of Authenticity consists of a card certificate that's 12 grams and come with an envelop with a golden lining. Lotus on Water trademarked logo of the Lotus Flower appears on the back of the envelop and on the top right hand side of the certificate.

The company we assigned to print the certificate is Crane & Co.. They are the company who has been responsible for printing the US currency notes for 212 years. The paper we use for the certificate is from them as well. They are 100 percent cotton acid free paper, safe and nice for you to touch on.

Wording are three different fonts on the certificate. They are (1) Bickham Swash (2) Wedding Text and (3) Saint James. They are authentic and exclusive from Crane & Co. as well.

As the printing method is called engraving printing, whereby bronze plates are carved and pressed on the paper, there will be slight dent of impression at the back of the paper. You can feel the gold emboss on the surface of the printing.

But because the certificate card is rather thick, you won't feel impression. The envelop is thinner, and you will be able to feel the impression at the back of the lotus flower print

(2) The Detail Information on the Certificate

Here are two details you should take special note as they are essential to determine the authenticity of the items you buy from us. One is the dimension, the other is the weight. The weight for most of the small but precious items are recorded in carat, up to three decimal places. In other words, it is to very high accuracy. When put against the dimension, it will be quite impossible for any craftsman to create an item of the same dimension with the same weight that's in carat to 3 decimal places.

It will be especially so when imposters try to use a different material to fake our items. Different material will have different density. A different material with the same mass will never weigh the same.

(3) Master Yun's Signature and Seal.

Master Yun Long Zi will sign his Chinese name at the bottom right hand corner with his seal next to it.

You will notice that the stroke of the signature is wavy -- broad at certain angle and narrow at another angle. It possesses more variation than a normal fountain pen and more consistency than a Chinese brush.

That is because of the pen Master Yun uses to sign off his name on your certificate. It is a special fountain pen.

The body of the pen is made of natural bamboo. Not just any bamboo, but the bamboo used to build the Japanese imperial kitchen. It has been smoked dry for more than a hundred years. Thus, it is dry and steady.

Now, since the bamboo has its natural wave and knots, the pen must be held at a certain particular angle for the comfort of writing. It thus create a consistent angle that no artificially-made pen body can achieve.

The nib of the pen is made with 21K gold. It is the softest kind of writing nib in the world. In time, it's shape will adjust according to the writing habit of Master Yun. The tip of the nib is slightly elongated to create wave during writing. But because the soft nib will be readjusted after some time, by the writing habit of Master Yun, the effect of the stroke will be uniquely his.

In other words, even if "Sailor" (the pen company) makes another pen, using an identical bamboo, the stroke will still be slightly different.

A Chinese seal, carved by Master Yun himself, is pressed with red vermillion mineral next to the signature. This mineral is said to be able to cast out ghost and evil vibes.

During night where you need extra yang energy to fight against evil vibes, just open up the envelop. Expose the seal and leave it next to your bed.

Certificate of Authenticity - Announcement by Master Yun Long Zi, Part 1

Lotus on Water Exquisite Jadeite Gallery at Lotus on Water Street. This gallery is for VIPs only. In this gallery stands proudly a piece of sliced opened raw jade that weighs 850 kilogram.

Due to the trustworthiness of the brand Lotus on Water, many impostors are faking their association with us.

They have done so mainly through the following four means:

1) Some say they are Lotus on Water sub-branch. And that Lotus on Water has just opened a branch at a neighborhood (we heard one is at Tampines, and another at Chinatown).
 

2) Some say they are Lotus on Water sub-brand. And that brand is also owned by Master Yun Long Zi. And that brand is selling items that has the same effect as Lotus on Water, just out of fashion. This is not true. Master Yun Long Zi has only one standard. That standard is represented by Lotus on Water. We do not own any other brands.

3) Some say they belong to the same sect, also a disciple to Master Yun Long Zi's grandfather. This is not true as well. Master Yun Long Zi late grandfather (Tian Yi Ju Shi 天乙居士) has 5 children and 10 grandchildren. But he had only imparted his skills to one grandson, and that is Master Yun Long Zi. 

Master Yun Long Zi is the 6th generation feng shui Master in the family. He started learning from his grandfather, 5th generation Master Tian Yi Ju Shi since young, and was conferred the name "Yun Long Zi" in 2002. Master Yun Long Zi is the only descendant of this sect.

4) Some has even ridiculously said that they are Lotus on Water suppliers. At Lotus on Water Exquisite Jadeite Gallery, stands proudly a piece of sliced opened raw jade that weighs 850 kilogram. It was certified as the biggest raw jadeite by Singapore Book Of Record in 2011. Raw jadeite as such is not found anywhere else in Singapore, but also not existing in any major cities such as Hong Kong, Beijing, Shanghai and Guang Zhou. In other words, it is a physical evidence that the jadeite pendent is made from raw material by Lotus on Water.
 

Lotus on Water collections possess the following features: 
(1) They are all natural, unharmed by chemical treatment. 
(2) They are sold, first hand to our clients. Non of our collections have been used by other clients before. 
(3) They represent the best possible standard in order to provide best feng shui energy. Best possible standard is inclusive but not limited to: non-lazer treatment enhanced, non-chemical enhanced, non-organic material (such as glue) enhanced, non-heat treatment enhanced. As cracks and internal fizzure is unavoidable in natural material, we choose from materials, or parts of the materials that has minimum imperfection.

The Lotus on Water standard represent a standard that, by far, no others in the market has been able to surpass. 

Only the best. The Heaven and Earth jadeite ring series has been with the gallery since 2006. With three generations, countless blessed clients have benefited from the result of pure perseverance on the Lotus on Water standard.

Lotus on Water also uses certain procedures that would enhance (or we call "awaken") and harness the feng shui energy within. The procedures include the choosing of collections and a specific ceremonial ritual before the collections are passed onto the hands of our clients.

To protect clients from being cheated by impostors who claim their association with Lotus on Water, we have, from today, begin to issue the Certificate of Authenticity. The Certificate of Authenticity will be given together with all Lotus on Water collections to our clients, except certain feng shui items such as bronze coins and tea-hulu.

The Certificate of Authenticity has the following features which would make it much harder for impostors to copy...
