I made Mom's favorite, Living in Harmony using faceted swirled Peace Jade beads with a 4mm pink Jade spacer and sterling silver spacers.  It has a sterling silver bail on a faceted unusual cut piece of Peruvian Opal with a Thai Silver toggle.  This beautiful piece measures 23" and the pendant is another 2 1/2".

Ancient people thought that wearing jade would increase body strength and add longevity. It was thought that jade would protect the kidneys, live, spleen, heart, larynx, thymus, and thyroid. Jade is an ancient symbol of love and virtue.

Symbolic energy and beauty, the traditional and the modern are combined in jade in a particularly harmonious way. In gemstone therapy it is said that jade stimulates creativity and mental agility while having a balancing and harmonizing effect. This beautiful gemstone is said to bring you joy, vivacity and happiness, all at the same time.

Opal Gemstone meaning
Opal was formed many millions of years ago, when a combination of silica and water flowed into cracks and spaces in the ground. This then gradually hardened and solidified to become opal. Opals contain water, which makes them very sensitive to heat. They are soft and can be cracked or chipped easily. Opals should be stored in moist absorbent cotton.

Pink Opal is a stone of peace and tranquility for the aura.
It is especially noted for its energies in healing emotions.

Sleeping with pink opal or holding it while in meditation helps to bring compassion and a gentle resolution of painful memories. Pink Opal is a Heart Chakra stone.

The opal is said to be many things including the most powerful of healing stones, the stone of hope, the stone of great achievement and even the "stone of the Gods". Ancient Romans associated opal with hope and good luck.

It is said to be the stone of love, but only to faithful lovers.
