KartiKart Sterling Silver. 14K Gold Plated, White Jade Necklace- Lunar

Design: Necklace with Crescent Moon shaped White Jade The moon has held immense significance in Chinese culture for millennia, weaving its way into history, mythology, and spiritual beliefs. China traditionally used a lunisolar calendar, with the phases of the moon playing a crucial role in marking time and agricultural cycles. One of the most enduring myths tells the story of Chang'e, a moon goddess banished to the moon for stealing an immortality potion. She is often accompanied by a jade rabbit, pounding herbs for another potion. Jade's connection to balance complements the moon's yin energy, gentle, introspective qualities that are often associated with femininity in China, creating a sense of wholeness for the wearer. The crescent moon shape represents the cyclical nature of life, growth, and new beginnings. Stone: White Nephrite Jade White nephrite jade, also known as "mutton fat" jade, is a treasured variety of nephrite jade prized for its creamy white color and soft luster. In China, white nephrite jade has been revered for centuries. It symbolizes purity, peace, and tranquility. Owning and wearing white nephrite jade was a privilege reserved for the elite, including royalty, the nobility, and scholars. It served as a visible marker of high social status and wealth.. During the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), emperors and high-ranking officials were sometimes buried in elaborate jade suits, entirely stitched together with gold thread. Secondary Material: Enamel
