Jade is beautiful to wear and sometimes you want to wear jade that "means something". If you want something meaningful in jade, your Chinese Lunar New Year animal is a good choice.
This is the Year of the Dog. Dog is the symbol of loyalty and honesty. People born in the Year of the Dog possess the best traits of human nature. They are honest, friendly, faithful, loyal, smart, straightforward, venerable and have a strong sense of
responsibility.
And some people even like to buy a jade dog pendant for their dog!
The other carvings with the dog can indicate other meanings, too. The second photo of the light green dog, item #JHP-Dog has Dog standing on Lotus. Lotus symbolizes the holy seat of Buddha. Because the flower rises from the mud and blooms in exquisite beauty it symbolizes perfection and purity of both the heart and mind. It also represents long life and honor.
Jade always means something. And you will probably be attracted to the jade that has the most meaning for you.
