This giveaway will only last until Tuesday night...
My Father is a Geologist, he travels to China very frequently. I always have a list of things that I have him pick up for me when he goes. Last time he went I asked him to pick something up for a giveaway on my blog. He came home with this darling jade necklace he found in Beijing.
It is hard to see how pretty the color is indoors at night. It is very light almost white jade with just a very slight familiar greenish tone.
The flower is very intricately carved. The center of the flower is a little cluster of red beads.
The necklace is beautifully knotted and a fisherman's knot is used to adjust the size.
I had my daughter model it for us. I almost wore it to church today!

Oh how lovely! I love geology and jewelry. :) My favorite is probably turquoise but it's rare that I meet a stone that doesn't make my heart go thumpity thump.
I love blue topaz. It reminds me of my daughter who now lives far away as it is her favorite color and stone to wear. Your beautiful jade necklace looks gorgeous too!
My favorite is moonstone. I just love how unique it is and how magical it looks.
I am not quite sure what my favorite is...I guess Amythest because it's my birthstone. Mostly, I like anything cute or pretty :)
Such a beautiful necklace :) My favorite stone would have to be a diamond. I also think pearls are fabulous!
I love Amber because of the warm color.
I love purple amythest because it reminds me of my Grandma. I have always like all kinds of gemstones, I was one of those kids that had a rock tumbler growing up, and I made jewelry for all my friends and family.
My favorite gemstone is Amber. I love the little fairy's that dance inside of the dark brown stone.
What a beautiful necklace! My favorite is Ruby because it is my birthstone.
My favorite stone is definitely an emerald, especially a princess cut! That cut will make any stone gorgeous! I love it because emerald's are my birthstone and green is my absolute favorite color!
Count me in! My favorite stone is a diamond . . . it's my birthstone, and since it's colorless, it's the only gemstone that truly goes with everything!
I am a follower, too.
My favorite is black onyx. I have a ring my grandmother gave me when I was in junior high and if ever fits again, you can bet I'll hardly ever take it off.

dimonds there eternal and match everything
Gorgeous necklace! I love rubies, they are my birthstone as well as my daughters :)
I wish I could be original and get away from my birthstone, but I really DO like topaz. My favorite topaz, though is the blue, not the ugly yellow of November's stone. As for the why...My grandmother bought be a beautiful blue topaz ring for my ninth birthday and it's been my favorite ever since!
I love sapphires because they are my birthstone. And they match my eyes. :) But my next favorite stone has to be pearls...They are so smooth and cool!
I blogged about it here: http://safiregiveaways.blogspot.com/2009/11/tuesday-nov-24.html
