Chinese white nephrite jade donut bi disk necklace –China- 21the century
On offer is a good Chinese donut shaped white nephrite jade pendant on a cord. This distinctive bi disk jade pendant is crafted from natural colored white nephrite jade and finished with a smooth polished surface. Its simple shape makes it easy to wear it every day, while its long cultural history gives the design a deeper meaning.
The circular form with a central hole, commonly known as bi disk, has been in use in Chinese craftsmanship for over thousand years and is traditionally associated with ideas such as harmony, balance, unity and continuity. Over thousand years ago Bi disks were used as a form of communication with the heavens. You hold the disk close to your mouth and through the opening you whisper your message. The message then travels faster and the prayers are answered.
