Design Concept – Blessing & Cursing Theme

The matte black body represents power, mystery, and authority — the “blessing” of strength and resilience — while the gold accents symbolize wealth, ambition, and influence, carrying the double edge of temptation and responsibility — the “cursing” side. This edition commands presence without needing to shout.
