The Story: Originating from the Buddhist religion, Buddha-shaped pendants (also known as Shakyamuni) have long since outgrown the status of religious jewelry to become a universal symbol of luck, peace, and longevity. Existing in many stones from which it derives its virtues, the jade Buddha pendant is one of the most widespread. It is reputed to bring prosperity, compassion, and inner peace to the wearer. Whether you wear it for its symbolism, its aesthetics, or both, this unique pendant will not leave you indifferent.
