We are releasing 4 of these Jade Lock & Key pendants that were custom carved for us. They come as a pair and are made from icy white Jade but the key is less translucent and one side of the lock has natural pitting so this set is priced lower due to this. The pitting is not noticeable as Jade glows in the light and the icy translucency will hide it when worn.
You can choose between Sterling Silver or Gold-fill bails. The silver tends to be slightly larger in size but may vary depending on the size of the holes drilled into the Jade pendants.
White Jade symbolizes clarity, healing, and spiritual purity.
Jade key pendants symbolize wisdom, opportunity, and protection. They often represent unlocking one’s potential, opening new doors in life, and gaining knowledge. Green Jade symbolizes harmony, prosperity, and protection.
A Jade lock typically represents protection, good fortune, and longevity in Chinese culture, symbolizing the "locking in" of positive energy and safeguarding against misfortune, often associated with the idea of securing blessings and good luck for the wearer; the "lock" design itself is a traditional symbol of safety and security.
Jade is a highly valued and revered gemstone with a rich history and symbolism in various cultures around the world. It has been prized for its beauty, durability, and cultural significance for thousands of years. Jade dates back to 6000 BCE to the Neolithic period of Ancient China and was considered an “Imperial Gemstone”. During this time they used Jade to make ceremonial objects, carved decorations, and jewellery. Jade symbolizes: harmony, balance, integrity, longevity, and prosperity.
