The five 7.5 x 5.5 mm oval cut stones total ~ 3 carats of gemstones! They are all mounted in solid 14 carat yellow gold settings on an 18 inch 14 kt gold chain.
Gold in quartz was formed deep underground when both were in a molten state. As they cooled, veins of gold became trapped in quartz crystals. When miners find those rare pieces with plenty gold dispersed in pure white quartz they kept in it's natural state for jewelry. During the California Gold Rush, an impressive piece of Gold in Quartz jewelry told admirers that this was the owner of a particularly rich gold mine.
To the Chinese, Jade is the "Stone of Heaven", with many powerful properties. This Jade comes from the Polar Jade mine in the rugged Mountains of Northern British Columbia, 110 Miles east of Juneau Alaska, and is the most prized by Chinese jade carvers, who import ~100 tons of it yearly.
This Pendant combines the beauty, art and history both East and West!
A great gift for that special someone.
