This Chinese hand carved jade fish (1 5/8” long by 1 1//2” wide,)shows the variation in color of natural jade. The detail in the jade shows his scales, face and eyes. I have topped it with a jasper disk. The entire pendant drops 2 3/4” from a black natural leather cord that is adjustable from 16” to 32” so it can be worn a variety of lengths.

The fish is symbolic of abundance, prosperity, wealth and persistence.  It is also believed to represent an advantage in business.

Called the stone of heaven, jade has worn jade for centuries by Chinese royalty. It has been used since the Neolithic times for tools, weaponry, amulets, vases and figurines because of its hardness. It is believed to be a spiritual stone and has been called the jewel of heaven. It represents the five principal virtues: charity, modesty, courage, justice and wisdom. From cloudy white to golden brown, light to dark green, to rare lavender, jade is the most highly prized Asian gemstone. Jade has been regarded as the most precious stone for thousands of years and is treasured for its magical powers. It is believed to protect the wearer and ensure good luck and good health as well as to increase life span, which is why most Asians put a jade bangle on a baby’s arm and wear jade themselves.
