A little history

In China, jade was considered more precious than gold. Olivine jade, with its earthier color, was often associated with the wisdom of the people rather than royalty. It was carved into everyday objects with symbolic virtues, such as combs, discs, etc. biThese protective pendants are said to bring balance and longevity to the wearer. In certain rural areas, the elders would give an olivine jade to a newborn baby to guarantee a harmonious, healthy life.
