This beautiful pendant necklace is made with a translucent green Chinese hand carved jade flower from which are suspended three vintage hand carved Chinese translucent green and lavender jade fish. Each fish is different. The jade is great quality and a beautiful color. The entire pendant drops 3 1/4” from a black twisted silk cord that is 18” around. The cord is finished with a toggle clasp made of the twisted cord.

The fish is symbolic of abundance, prosperity, wealth and persistence.  It is also believed to represent an advantage in business. A pair of fish symbolizes a happy marriage.

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.
