The designs of antique jade pendamts are simple, almost primitive. An old design is not only decorative but also carries the traditional wishes like good luck, protection and prosperity so that by wearing it, the pendant brings the blessings to the wearer. In this way, popular features are dragons, fish, bats and coins as you will find these in the following pendants. In ancient time, a jade ornament would be made when a gift was required for an occassion like an engagement or a birthday. The giver of the gift would commission a carver to make one according to his or her requirement. As a result, every antique jade pendant is almost certainly to be unique. I personally like old designs because besides being beautiful, it says something about the culture where it was made.

If you want to purchased any one of these antique jade pendants, the price is £68 each plus poatage and packaging. You may like me to make a knot with a cord to go with it so that you can wear it. I suggest to tie it with a Pan Chang knot using 2mm thick Chinese silk cords. Pan Chang is one of the eight treasures of Buddha. It is a symbol of a complete life cycle, meaning you will enjoy life to the full. It will be very appropriate to tie a Pan Chang knot to the pendant of your choice. When you wear it, may the knot and the pendant brings you the blessings symbolized by the pendant and last it to the full. You can tell me your choice of colour for the cord when you contact me. I charge £10 for making the knot with a length of cord so that you can wear it as a necklace. Make sure you tell me the length of the necklace you would like it to be.
