For thousands of years Jade has been a symbol of Love and Virtue. Because of its smooth, even texture, Jade has long been a preferred medium for carving. In ancient China the Emperor drew his cosmic powers by holding a disc-shaped piece of Jade or "pi", which was the most important of six ritual sacred Jade objects. This traditional shape is still usually worn as a necklace.
Jade comes in two distinct varieties that are actually two different minerals : Jadeite and Nephrite. Both types are extremely hard - tougher than granite, and harder than steel, although can fracture fairly easily.
This beautiful, timeless pendant comprises a "pi" lovingly carved from high quality Green Jadeite, with at its heart, the Chinese character meaning "Good Fortune". This symbol, and all metal throughout this pendant is fully Hallmarked 14ct yellow Gold.
The simple lines of this timeless pendant compliment perfectly the lustrous translucency of the Jade- a stone considered more valuable to the ancient Chinese Imperial Court than Gold or Silver. Measuring approx 25mm in diameter, this Lucky pendant is your personal connection with the knowledge and spirituality of an ancient culture.
