Fun statement butterfly vintage necklace circa 1970's. This necklace is comprised of fifty genuine Jade beads measuring 10mm accented by twenty 14K gold beads measuring 8 to 3.8 mm each. A carved Jade butterfly adorns the center. The necklace is secured by a 14K gold filigree clasp. In very good estate condition. The silk string is stretched and a few of the gold beads have some dents. I will have it re-strung if desired at no additional cost. Jade is the traditional gift for the 19th wedding anniversary.

Butterflies are not only beautiful, but also have mystery, symbolism and meaning and are a metaphor representing spiritual rebirth, transformation, change, hope and life. The magnificent, yet short life of the butterfly closely mirrors the process of spiritual transformation and serves to remind us that life is short.
This highly valued and beautiful gemstone represents strength, luck, and invites good health. Jade symbolism includes associations with nobility and wealth. Many consider it a protector of generations, living and dead. Jade has been and always will be Yu, the “gem supreme” and the “Jewel of Heaven,” stone of the heart.
