Yin/Yang are the generalization of antithesis of mutual correlation certain object or phenomenon in natural world. They have meaning of unity of opposites. Also known as Yin and Yang or heaven and earth, has similar meaning. The dual concepts of yin and yang, or the single concept Yin-Yang, originate in ancient Chinese philosophy and metaphysics, which describe two primal opposing but complementary principles or cosmic forces said to be found in all non-static objects and processes in the universe. The concept is the cornerstone for Taoism and traditional Chinese medicine. Yin (Chinese Meaning "shady place, north slope, south bank (river); cloudy, overcast"); it is passive, dark, feminine, downward-seeking, and corresponds to the night. Yang (Chinese Meaning "sunny place, south slope, north bank (river), sunshine"); it is active, light, masculine, upward-seeking and corresponds to the daytime. Yin is often symbolized by water and earth, while yang is symbolized by fire and wind. Yin and Yang are descriptions of complementary opposites rather than absolutes. Any yin-yang dichotomy can be viewed from another perspective. All forces in nature can be seen as having yin and yang states, and the two are in movement rather than held in absolute stasis. Taijitu, is the traditional symbol representing the forces of yin and yang. The taijitu represents an ancient Chinese understanding of how things work. The outer shape represents the entirety of perceivable phenomena, while the shapes within represent the interaction of two principles or aspects. Each of them contains an element or seed of the other, and they cannot exist without each other. Excessive yin or yang state is often viewed to be unbalanced and undesirable.

A Gorgeous Combination of Coral and Abalone Shell Set in Solid Sterling Silver. Sponge Coral (Melithaea ochracea) or Knotted Fan Coral is so-named because it roughly resembles sponges, meaning the appearance is somewhat vesicular (pours and veins). It is not a sponge at all. Instead, it is a type of coral that has a sponge-like appearance. Sponge coral is formed by polyps that create housings for themselves out of calcium carbonate. In the wild, before processing, sponge coral has a treelike structure. Good sponge coral has a vibrant orange-red color. The coral often has streaks or tinges of white or yellow in it, with lower-quality specimens having a brownish tint or larger areas of yellow. While the lower-quality specimens are less valuable, they do have a varied visual appearance that can still be valuable in jewelry. Primarily, sponge coral is harvested from waters close to Taiwan stretching south to Indonesia and is popularly used in jewelry. Sponge coral may be rough or it may be polished smooth into beads or pendents. Appearance is typically orange-red, but some are blue, yellow or brownish in color. Sponge coral is also more porous and less dense than bamboo and other coral varieties, making it a lightweight alternative for jewelry making. This pendant is crafted entirely from natural sponge coral, expertly carved to form a desired shape and buffed to a shiny surface finish. The pendant displays a light brick-red color and also possesses a unique textured pattern and appearance. Jewelry Handling: It is Not Recommended to Use Harsh Cleaners, Detergents, Soaps, Shampoos, Jewelry Cloths or Jewelry Liquids, Chemicals, Chlorine, Body or Tanning Lotions, Ultrasonic Cleaners, Tarnish Creams, Showering, Swimming in Pools or Hot Tubs or the Ocean With Natural Coral and Shell Adorned Silver Jewelry.About New Zealand Paua Shells: Paua is a species of abalone found only off the coast of New Zealand. It is the most vividly colored shell you can find - it outshines even the other species of abalone and makes wonderful jewelry. It has a range of blues and greens, often going into electric shades. Purples and pinks are fairly common. Yellows and other colors will also show. Many cultures believe paua is a symbol of good luck and prosperity. The color in the paua shell changes when viewed at different angles. This iridescence, similar to that of Mother of Pearl shell, but far more brilliant, is what makes paua shell so amazing a gem material for use in jewelry. It is truly one of nature's gifts. Each shell is different in it's color tones, and in the patterns within the shell. The black patterns in the shell come from layers of protein that are laid down between the layers of calcium that make up the shell. The brilliant colors are from light being refracted within the crystal layers. Paua Abalone is exclusively found in New Zealand and exhibits this amazing play of color on its shell surface quite similar to opals, thus earning its nickname the "Sea Opal". The most intensely colored Paua come from the cold waters off the southern coast of New Zealand. When found, the shells have a whitish lime coating. This is polished off to reveal the intensely colored "exterior" shell. The interior of the shell also has the same lovely colors.Coral Care Tips: Due to its softness and its porous nature, sponge coral requires special care. Do not use chemical cleaners on coral and prevent sponge coral jewelry from receiving sharp blows. To clean sponge coral, wipe it down with a damp cloth and allow it to air dry before you put it away. Sponge coral should be stored in cloth bag or in its own box to prevent it from getting scratched by other pieces of jewelry. AbaloneShell Care: Use mild soaps and water on abalone to clean it, and avoid storing it with jewelry which may scratch it and wear away the luminous layers of nacre.Purchase Assurance of Quality: As Each of These Pendant Are Created Using Natural Coral and Abalone Pieces, Each is Very Unique to the Next; There Are Distinct Variations in the Coral's and Abalone Shell's Surface, Luster, Shape, and Color Hues, Which Are Approximately Represented in the Item's Picture.
