This beautiful pale blue jade has a carved raised flower in the center and two small carved flowers on each side. I searched for a while to find the perfect match of 10 mm carved jade beads to make a very elegant necklace. The carved jade is 2" across and 1 1/4" tall. The entire necklace is 18 1/2" around and is finished with a 18k gold vermeil clasp. This fashion piece is one of a kind.

Worn by Imperial families for centuries, jade is a very spiritual stone. It has been called the jewel of heaven, the stone of immortality, a symbol of purity and is believed to embody the five cardinal virtues: charity, modesty, courage, justice and wisdom.
