Only the Fenghuang- a mythological bird, often called the Chinese phoenix in the West. It is traditionally the female equivalent of the Chinese dragon. This amazing bird holds deep symbolic meaning and represents peace, prosperity, high virtue and grace.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWings spread and surrounded by florals the main of which appears to be a lotus flower. Again - symbolically this makes a lot of sense. Said to represent purity, resilience and moral integrity the combination of Fenghuang and Lotus flower are the ultimate in symbolism of the powerful but ethical and gracious female. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eAnd the chain - oh the chain! This has stopped me in my tracks several times in the last few days. Deeply buttery high carat and the most intricate and delicate design. The long links with the half twist catch the light and dance in the sun. This chain is EVERYTHING in a long high carat chain. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eThe clasp has been secured closed with the pendant on - because it will fit over most people's heads. We have undone it to weigh them separately. We can re-close it with or without pendant on, or leave it undone - depending on preference. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eParticulars: \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eLength 61cm or 24 inches\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWeight chain 11.9g, combined 24.34g \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eWidth 57.25 x 60.8mm x max 1.4mm thick on a v-bail of opening 6.6 x 5.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eChain 1.8 x 1.5mm\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eHallmarks - Chinese symbols for gold on claps and pendant, and an unknown Maker's Mark on the chain - pendant, clasp and chain all tested for 22kt gold. \u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCondition - very light wear - clearly only worn for special occasions.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp class=\"p1\"\u003eCare - As a general rule - jewellery should not be worn for strenuous tasks that may put pressure, chemicals and weight on them (think cleaning, gym, swimming\/spa, carrying things).
