Guanyin Bodhisattva is a symbol of compassion. It is said that when there is suffering, just chant his name to get liberation. The Buddha pendants are mainly Maitreya Buddha. It is generally believed that men wear Guanyin and women wear Buddha.

In addition, there are various pictographic patterns, for example, Peace Every Year is composed of wheat ears, vase and quail; Peace All Year Round is composed of green beans; Wealth and Peace is composed of a peony flower in a vase.

Career: There are two aspects to a successful career. One is public service career, where one hopes to be promoted to a higher position. There are also those who start their own businesses and hope that their careers will prosper.

Bamboo joints: symbolize continuous advancement and are a great gift. I hope that my partner has a noble character like bamboo, and can move up in career and get better and better.

Leaf: “Ye” has the same pronunciation as “career”, which implies great success in career, academic achievement, and promotion. It is also a good gift, which is why there are many jade pendants in the shape of leaves.

Zen: Zen means transformation and sudden change, which is a saying given to entrepreneurs, implying that after early efforts and lying dormant, once they break out of the ground, they will surely make a big splash.

Meaning of attracting wealth: Not only businessmen seek wealth, who among us doesn’t want to have a lot of money? Even if you get a fixed salary at work, you still hope for a bonus surprise someday. Therefore, jewelry designs that symbolize wealth are also more suitable for all of us, such as Pixiu, golden cicada, cabbage, etc.

Pixiu: It means to attract wealth and fortune. Pixiu is an ancient mythical beast that likes to eat gold and silver. Some Pixiu are greedy for money and only take in but never spend. The most common one we see is the golden Pixiu, which can be worn by both men and women. As a jade pendant, it is more commonly worn by men.

Cabbage: Cabbage, which is homophonic to "baicai", means a lot of wealth and has the meaning of attracting wealth and getting rich. The most famous is the jade cabbage ornaments collected by Empress Dowager Cixi, which are of inestimable value.

Seeking children: Marriage and childbirth were definitely top priorities in ancient times. The three major unfilial acts: not having an heir, and not having an heir, were the worst, so this was placed first. Therefore, the image of ancient jade carvings of seeking children has also been deeply rooted in people’s hearts. For example, the shapes of Guanyin delivering a child, Qilin delivering a child, Ruyi Boy, and descendants for generations, etc.

The main fruits are gourds, bergamot, eggplants, pomegranates and other multi-seeded fruits, or plants with vines, which symbolize many children and good fortune, and lotus roots, which symbolize the birth of many sons.

Jade pendants come in many shapes with beautiful meanings. Everyone can choose a style that suits them and choose the color and water head that suits them according to their budget. Shape and carving are only one aspect of jade pendants. There are also those inlaid with K gold and embellished with diamonds.

Because the value of top-quality jade pendants is very high, tens of thousands or even hundreds of thousands are common, so when we choose jade pendants, we can pay more attention to the shape and theme, and it is fine to choose one that suits us. There is no need to pursue top-quality jade.
