Valued for its rarity and lustrous appearance, jade (yù) has long been a symbol of excellence, longevity and purity of virtue. Worn as jewelry or as a protective charm, the stone was believed to imbue a person with a clear mind and pure spirit, and to guard against evil spirits and illness.

This jadeite pendant is shaped as a ruyi, offering blessings of longevity and good fortune. An ancient symbol from Daoist mythology, the ruyi is an auspicious symbol that references the lingzhi fungus, or reishi, a mushroom with magical properties thought to ensure immortality. Etched on one side of the pendant is a blessing for good luck, expressing a wish for your children to achieve great success. On the other side are two ripe offering fruits - a peach for longevity and a citron for wealth.

“PAGODA RED was extremely supportive in helping to pull accessory options together for the Lake Forest Showhouse. After providing them with details and our vision on how we were looking to finish our space, Laurene helped curate options that made it easy for us to edit and finalize. It's also no surprise that the unique pieces we used in our showhouse space were some of the first to sell.”
