The other day I had gone to Georgetown for my visit to the dentist, and I'm very happy to say that my braces are finally off !However I still have to wear a stupid retainer. So we, my gran,dad and I, made other stops while we were in town.One of these places were a Chinese store,The Glorious General Store,where Gran visits often.
While browsing around I came across some necklaces and jade pendants, some shaped like triangles with smoothe,curved ends.Then a simple fine woven chain of a kind of black sturdy thread and a little jade Buddha suspended in the middle caught my attention.I'll admit that I'm interested in Buddism but my aunt knew alot more of it than I did,but at that moment I knew I had to have it and that's just what happened.I got one for my sister but with another pendant that was also jade.
I really like the pale green stone.Buddha was carve beautifully with a halo behind his round head and chubby cheeks. You wouldn't believe it was a stone.When you turn it around then you see the evidence that it was one, with small dents and creases.
Yes,it's beautiful alright but the hard part was putting it on.At first when I attempted to put it on it wouldn't go aroun my head,and no my head isn't that big,the trouble was that the chain didn't have a hook at the back.However,at last,after 15 minutes of investigation I discovered two knots at either sides of the chain.So when I adjusted them,the length would increase or decrease.
I wear it every day and it's my favourite choice of jewelry.The day after I bought it and wore it to work everyone admired my little Buddha.
The one in the picture above is very similar to mine.Had the same shade and everything except for a few fine details.My chain was black and had three transparent white beads on either side.
