Amano Studio - Mother of Pearl Yin Yang Necklace

In Chinese cosmology, the Yin Yang symbolizes the philosophical concept that describes opposite but interconnected forces. Naturally occurring dualities are physical manifestations of this idea, such as fire and water or birth and death. Complementary forces interact in a dynamic system where the whole is greater than its assembled parts.

6mm mother of pearl and black shell Yin Yang. 

14k gold over 16" brass barley chain.

*The gold is applied to a base metal (brass in this case) in a very thin layer. Gold plated jewelry is an affordable option to solid gold. You can lengthen the life of the gold layer by removing your jewelry when swimming in pools and especially the ocean. Also while exercising. Salt and chemicals break down the gold layer. Do not use a polishing cloth with chemicals to clean plated jewelry as the gold will rub right off.
