It's still dreary & raining so I'm staying inside, Today, I'm wearing my green Tahitians with a jadite enhancer & Heather Benjamin Beetle wing & carved Abalone claw earrings. Green orient is so hard to capture in pics.

Thank you, SD. This enhancer is old from the 60's. I have another donut pendant with a Chinese character in the middle. I don't remember what the character says & it's smaller than this one. My family thinks I have odd likes because I have always loved dragons, phoenix, & octopi. There is a Chinese legend about the dragon & the pearl but it's been so long, I would have to Google it. It has to do with the dragon protecting the magic pearl if memory serves me right. I haven't brought out my jade lately so I decided to bring this one out for some love. Most of my jade pendants are dragons or phoenix or both. They're on cords & I'm thinking about having some of them put on enhancer bales so I can wear them on my pearls.

Oh wow, an antique! I'm Chinese but have never seen a combination of jade with gold and pearls. There are dragons and phoenixes made of gold and separate jade pieces but never anything together. I'm sure your other pendants would look awesome on enhancer bales with your pearls :D
