Laughing Buddha Jade Pendant Necklace On Black Cord

This necklace is listed as Laughing Buddha Jade Pendant Necklace On Black Cord (shop SKU JADBCN21), and is sold at Namaste Bookshop near Union Square.

Jade in jewelry and carving may be nephrite or jadeite, both tough, fine-grained stones long prized in many cultures. In Chinese and other traditions, jade is associated with harmony, virtue, and protection. Those ideas belong to folklore and personal practice, not to any medical claim.

Images of the Buddha are reminders of stillness and attention in Buddhist art. It comes on a black cord, as stated in the title. Store jewelry dry and away from lotions, perfume, and harsh cleaners to keep it looking its best.
