Thousand-Hand Guanyin Jade Pendant Necklace
Product Details

Kwan Yin, the bodhisattva of compassion, sits on a lotus with her hands joined at her chest, while tiers of open hands fan out behind her to reach everyone who asks for help. The disc is 6.5 mm thick, so the relief is deep enough for each hand to catch the light on its own.

Jade Necklace Size Guide
Choosing the right jade necklace length is key to achieving the perfect look and fit.
Unlike bracelets, necklace sizing is based on how the chain sits on your neckline. Common lengths include:
• 16" (Choker) – sits close to the neck
• 18" (Princess) – the most popular everyday length
• 20–24" – longer styles for layering or statement looks
When selecting your jade necklace, consider your neck size, pendant size, and styling preference. Shorter lengths create a refined look, while longer chains offer a more relaxed and elegant feel.

Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee
Shop with confidence. Our Lifetime Authenticity Guarantee has no time limit.

A lab note of surface wax alone doesn't qualify.
