This beautifully carved natural green jade fish, showing his scales and fins, is topped with a gorgeous hand blown glass bead by renown glass artist Tom Boylon. The colors in the glass bead are mostly blues and greens which pick up the color in the Jade fish. The fish is 3” by 1 1/4” and drops 3 1/2’ from a black natural leather cord which is adjustable using slip knots from 14” to 28’ so it can be worn a variety of lengths.

The fish is symbolic of abundance, prosperity, wealth and persistence. It is also believed to represent an advantage in business.

Chinese royalty has worn jade for centuries. 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. It is believed to protect the wearer and ensure good luck and good health as well as to increase life span.
