Icy Blue Ruyi Pendant. Size length x width (34.2 x19.8 x 4.7 mm).

In jade culture, a ruyi (如意) is a traditional Chinese symbol of power, prosperity, and good fortune. The word ruyi translates to “as one wishes” or “according to one’s desires.” It is often depicted as a curved scepter with a cloud-like or lingzhi mushroom-shaped head, symbolizing longevity and spiritual transcendence.

When carved from jade, a ruyi is believed to enhance its auspicious qualities, bringing success, authority, and protection to the owner. It has been historically associated with scholars, emperors, and high-ranking officials, serving as a talisman for wisdom and status. Today, jade ruyi carvings and jewelry are still popular as meaningful gifts and collectibles.
