Double strand white pearl and green jade necklace

Double strand white pearl and green jade necklace. This is a truly beautiful necklace and the jade makes a fabulous twist on the traditional double strand of pearls.  

Pearls have long symbolished love, success and happiness and early Chinese myths told of pearls falling from the sky when dragons fought. Ancient legends also tell that pearls were thought to be the tears of the gods and the ancient Greeks believed that wearing  pearls would promote marital bliss. Pearls are less durable than most gems and are sensitive to acids, dryness and humidity. Always put on after applying cosmetics, perfume or hair spray rather than before. Jade is traditionally connected with love and virtue and is said to promote peace and harmony.  In ancient times it was thought that wearing jade would increase body strength and in the Chinese empire, jade has had a special significance, comparable with that of gold and diamonds int he West. Jade was used for the finest objects and figures.
