NATURAL JADE: This is a high grade jade pendant necklace. The pendant is completely natural jadeite jade. It is un-dyed and in its natural form.

CARVING: The pendant is exquisitely hand carved jade (one of a kind!) in the form of the Guan Yin, the Buddhist "Goddess of Mercy."

Guan Yin is the Chinese translation of Avalokitevara, the Buddha of compassion. She also symbolizes harmony and compassion. When wearing the Guan Yin symbol, it is said to protect its wearer and endow them with wisdom, harmony, and compassion. In this piece, the Goddess of Mercy is depicted as meditating on a lotus symbolizing the peace, harmony, wisdom, and positive thoughts she brings to the world and the wearer of this piece.

The pendant is framed with sterling silver.

JADE COLOR: Jade has beautiful white jade & light green tones. Each piece has slight variation in colors. The best way way to describe the color is white/gray to light green variation. This piece is slightly semi-translucent as well; this means when held against the light, the light will partially shine through - a premium quality in jade because it gives the jade a "glow" under certain lighting such as natural light.

Necklace: 18'' Sterling Silver Necklace included.

GIFT BOX: Comes with a gift box. Perfect for gifts!

MINOR IMPERFECTIONS: This piece is hand carved and completely natural. It may have small imperfections from the natural stone or hand carving art. Depending on your lighting, monitor screen, or phone screen, the stone may look slightly different in color.
