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 its spots of bright green color contrasted by a surrounding pale field. The pendant is carved with a reticulated design in the style of ancient bronze vessels, with chainlink scrollwork, geometric motifs and a central shou (壽) character of longevity.
