Visual Description
A minimalist, gold line-art design on a blush-pink background shows three ornate chalices arranged in a triangular formation, two at the top and one centered below. Fine geometric and celestial motifs — tiny stars, a crescent moon, and a radiating sun — connect and hover around the cups.
