A wonderful vintage Chinese jade fish lotus pendant necklace from the mid to late 20th century! This natural jade necklace features a double-sided carved fish and lotus pendant suspended on a knotted 28" jade bead necklace strand.

The hand carved jade pendant depicts a Koi fish and lotus in a striking three-dimensional elongated design. The pendant displays a pale green to mottled white hue with an opaque- translucent diaphaneity. The pendant suspends from a single barrel-shaped jade bead and onto a seventy-two (72) round jade bead necklace strand. Measuring in between 8.50mm - 9.30mm in diameter size, the jade beads exhibit predominantly light green hues from greyish green to sage green to greyish white - each with internal, and some external surface inclusions indicative of natural jade. The varying pale green tones and textures amalgamate beautifully in the necklace.

The necklace is hand strung on a sturdy woven silk thread with knots in between for longevity and strength.

Total length of the necklace measures 28" (72cm), and pendant drop (including barrel jade bead) measures 8cm (3"+) long. There is no clasp - the longer than usual length allowing easy overhead wear.

The jade fish often represents abundance, surplus and prosperity, and the Lotus (aka sea rose) is a symbol of purity and enlightenment. Since ancient Chinese times jade has been admired as the "Stone of Heaven" and regarded historically as possessing mystical powers.

Packed with oodles of Chinese symbolism, this gorgeous statement necklace is sure to please any jade lover!
