{"product_id":"yu","title":"yù (玉)","description":"\u003cp\u003eA gorgeous and unique two type chain, combining my love of antique sterling silver with a beautiful piece of antique jade chain. (The fob chain is victorian and the jade is an antique piece too. ) I got this piece of jade chain when I was last in South East Asian, visiting family and friends in Singapore and Malaysia. For those who have been here a while, you might remember my visit to Mr Keng, and a long standing dispute between him and my mother (also a lover of antiques, I get it from somewhere). I managed to get my mother to put her feelings aside long enough to come with me and rummage in his space, where I got several gorgeous pieces.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cdiv class=\"n6owBd awi2gc\"\u003e\n\u003cspan\u003eIn Chinese culture, jade (\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cem class=\"zhvwWe\"\u003eyù\u003c\/em\u003e, 玉) is revered as the 'stone of heaven' that symbolises purity, high moral virtue, protection, and prosperity.\u003cspan\u003e \u003c\/span\u003eFor over 5,000 years, the Chinese people have prized jade more than gold - but unlike gold its value is in the eye of the beholder. \u003cspan\u003eIt is often also considered protective, warding off evil and danger and if a piece of jade breaks while you're wearing it, this means it protected you from hurt or death. \u003cstrong class=\"rQesXe MPyX\"\u003e\u003c\/strong\u003ePeople believe jade possesses mystical powers to block negative energy and protect the wearer from harm.
