Brand New, Never Used 14k Gold With Jadeite Pendant. 100% Solid 14k Yellow Gold (Not Plated, Not Bonded, Not Filled) Pendant With Chinese Imperial Green Jadeite Accent.
- Symbolism: Protection, Good Health. The Calabash (Lagenaria siceraria or Lagenaria vulgaris) also known as the bottle gourd, opo squash, or long melon is a vine grown for its fruit, which can either be harvested young and used as a vegetable, or harvested mature, dried, and used as a bottle, utensil, or pipe. For this reason, the calabash is widely known as the bottle gourd. The fresh fruit has a light green smooth skin and a white flesh. Rounder varieties are called calabash gourds. They come in a variety of shapes, they can be huge and rounded, or small and bottle shaped, or slim and more than a 3 feet long. The calabash was one of the first cultivated plants in the world, grown not primarily for food, but for use as a water container. The bottle gourd may have been carried from Africa to Asia, Europe and the Americas in the course of human migration. The calabash, as a vegetable, is frequently used in southern Chinese cuisine as either a stir-fry or in a soup. The Chinese name for calabash is hulu or huzi in Mandarin. The hulu is an ancient Chinese symbol for health. In the old days, the doctors would carry medicine inside it, so it has fabled properties for healing. The hulu is believed to absorb negative earth-based qi (energy) that would otherwise affect health, and is a traditional Chinese medicine cure. Dried calabash is also used as containers of liquids, often liquors or medicine. Calabash gourds were also grown in earthen molds to form different shapes with imprinted floral or arabesque design, and dried to house pet crickets, which were kept for their song and fighting abilities. The calabash is a symbol of the Xian immortals. The most popular group in Chinese art consists of seven males and one female, The Eight Immortals (Baxian), who represent the attainment of the Daoist ideal. The search for immortality and all its stories of magic peaches, elixirs of longevity, and mortals, who succeeded in their quest for it, are encapsulated in their stories and legends. The word used for "immortals" and "fairies” (xian) is composed of a "man" on the left and "mountains" on the right, clearly expressing the idea that these are recluses from the world who have retired into the mountains, or in the case of celestial beings, heaven, or into the Isles of the Blest made with pavilions of silver and gold. Of the seven immortal males, the one known as Li Tieguai is typically depicted as dressed in rags and using a metal crutch while holding a calabash gourd bottle. This immortal represents the patron of the ill and provides protection against sickness while promoting good health and well being. Jade generates divine unconditional love, assists one in being in touch with ones desires and building the bridges to create dreams into reality.
