The pendant is carved in the form of the Chinese Zodiac - Pig. The beads above the pendant on the necklace are natural hand carved jadeite jade beads. They may not be perfectly round because they are hand carved. This gives the necklace a more rustic and natural stone like look. The pendant is completely natural jade, un-dyed and in its natural form.
MINOR IMPERFECTION: This jade piece has a minor imperfection on the back. The jade stone has natural "veins" or "cracks" on the back. This is due to the formation of the natural stone. When the raw jade is opened to craft this piece, the natural formation of jade contains these small crevices - this is a natural result of jade formation. It is not noticeable when worn and only seen if you look very closely. It does not impact the function of the necklace nor can it be seen by others when worn. That being said, the price of this jade necklace has been adjusted to reflect this minor imperfection. Take a look at the video in this listing to observe this description.
