Description
Grade A vivid green jade butterfly pendant with good lustre and translucency. Certification by Nan Yang Gemological Institute (http://www.ngi.com.sg/), a reputable and independent Singapore gem testing lab, is available upon request.
Jadeite is highly demanded and is exclusively sourced from Myanmar, formerly Burma, hence it is widely known as “Burmese Jade”. It is rich in heritage and widely believed to have spiritual meanings in the Chinese culture. Jade is believed to protect the person who wears it. The butterfly is a symbol of long life because the second Chinese character in butterfly (蝴蝶) has exactly the same pronunciation as the character 耋 which means “70 or 80 years of age”.
