About the Item

Valued for its rarity and lustrous appearance, jade (yù) has long been a symbol of excellence, longevity and purity of virtue. Worn as jewelry or as a protective charm, the stone was believed to imbue a person with a clear mind and pure spirit, and to guard against evil spirits and illness. This lovely jadeite pendant is shaped from a variety known as moss-in-snow, named for the spots of bright green color contrasting the surrounding pale field. The pendant is carved with a reticulated design of peaches and flowers. Growing ripe on the branch, this summer fruit is a common motif in Chinese art and a symbol of longevity and immortality.
