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." The jade piece has great detailed hand carving on both sides of the piece, showing the exquisite craftsmanship of this carving.
Guan Yin is the Chinese translation of Avalokiteśvara, 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.
JADE COLOR: This piece has beautiful green tones. This is a premium quality in jade. Green color jade is more expensive and desired by many. This piece is 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.
ADJUSTABLE NECKLACE: The necklace is adjustable - one size fits all!
GIFT BOX: Comes with a gift box. Perfect for gifts!
MINOR IMPERFECTIONS: The back of this piece is not completely flat. This is due to the hand carving done on this particular piece. The price reflects this minor imperfection. It cannot be seen when worn and can barely be seen unless looked at very closely. Take a look at the video listing to see this description. 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.
