How to Look Like a Chinese Empress.

Gorgeous jewelry of green chrysoprase, the rarest kind of chalcedony, a.k.a, “Australian jade.” Looks almost identical to real jade (up to $50,000 a stone) traditionally worn in the Central Kingdom to reflect one’s nobility.

N.B.: Tang empresses wore jade in summer for its mystical cooling power, too; there’s no evidence that these beauties are any less effective.

Chrysoprase Necklace (No. 3030). Handmade of pale green polished stones and glittering Austrian crystals (world’s most brilliant). Removable floral pin can be worn separately as a brooch.

Dimensions: 16" necklace with extra 2" adjustable chain, approx. 2-1/2" diam. flower.
