Striking Designed Necklace of Lapis Bi Disc within an Antique Jade Sword Slide

• This unusual design of a lapis Bi disc, (symbol of longevity and harmony) sitting comfortably within an antique, tan jade, sword slide, creates a conversation piece straight away.  The jade sword slide is carved with small bumps to give the effect of a dragon, a symbol of power.  The sword would have nestled within the slide.
• 2 handmade silver beads,12mm, from Nepal are followed by 2 antique, grey jade, cylinder beads, 15mm.
• 4 mottled caramel jasper beads,16mm have 4 turquoise rectangular bricks, 16 mm, contrasting against the turquoise.
• Finally 2 picture jasper beads, 12mm,complete the design.
• Knotted silk/polyester grey cord using traditional Chinese flat and button knots has been used to lighten the necklace.
• A handmade sterling silver toggle clasp has been used because they are easy to use and secure. My silver name label is attached at the clasp.
• The necklace comes, like all my necklaces with its own colour co-ordinated silk brocade pouch bag, made by a Shanghai tailor.
• The necklace measures 18”, 46cm long with a 2” pendant drop, 5cm.
