JADE LOOK-A-LIKE

Just 99 more days to go for FELTasticFashion's debut at the Horton Craft Fair! 

Do you know that in the Chinese culture, the number NINE is a lucky number?
Historically, NINE is associated with the Emperor of China: 
the Emperor's robes often had nine dragons, which symbolized "harmony"
Moreover, NINE is a homophone of the word for which means "longlasting"
That's why there are usually 9 courses in the Chinese wedding & birthday receptions.

In the history of the art of the Chinese empire, JADE has had a special significance as well.
Jade can be comparable with that of gold & diamonds in the western countries.

In the light of the Chinese culture, 
I have designed this special JADE look-a-like felted necklace.
