Ying and Yang are perhaps the most popular symbols of ancient Chinese philosophy. The symbol represents the concept of the duality of nature and explains how seemingly contradictory forces may actually be interconnected and require each other to exist. The symbol also shows that each side also has a core element-symbolized by a dot-in each other. Neither of the sides is superior to each other and the two sides must always be in balance to achieve harmony. The Necklace measures 22” Length. The White Oval Glass beads measure 8 cc length x 5 cc width. The Pendant measures 2 1/8" Wide x 2 1/8" Tall x 3/8"Thick. It has a drop of 2 1/2". The Necklace weighs 1.90 ounces or 54 grams.
