KartiKart Sterling Silver. 14K Gold Plated, White Jade Necklace- Bi Disk

Design: Bi Disk Necklace The perfect circle of the Bi Disc embodies the concept of "Tian Yuan" (round sky) and "Di Fang" (square earth) representing the wholeness, balance, and harmony between heaven and earth. This aligns with the fundamental principle of Yin and Yang, the opposing yet complementary forces believed to govern the universe. During the Neolithic Period-3rd Century BCE, scholars believe the Bi Disc symbolized the heavens, with the hole representing the axis around which the heavens rotate. Rulers during the Han Dynasty associated them with their authority, mandate from heaven, and connection to the cosmos. Stone: White Nephrite Jade White nephrite jade, also known as "mutton fat" jade, is a treasured variety of nephrite jade prized for its creamy white color and soft luster. In China, white nephrite jade has been revered for centuries. It symbolizes purity, peace, and tranquility. Owning and wearing white nephrite jade was a privilege reserved for the elite, including royalty, the nobility, and scholars. It served as a visible marker of high social status and wealth.. During the Han Dynasty (206 BCE – 220 CE), emperors and high-ranking officials were sometimes buried in elaborate jade suits, entirely stitched together with gold thread.
