The picture above shows knot that is called the Four Directions. It is a combination of four pan chang knots and button knots. This can be made into a beautiful necklace with different knot colours so as to jive with your dress or preferences. The Pan Chang Knot design symbolizes an unending life which could also mean giving someone a longer life. The Button Knot also has an unending pattern known to the Chinese people as a good luck charm. So you can never go wrong having this necklace because of the hip and lucky charm it has.
This is an example how a Pan Chang knot looks like:
