Are you ready?
After MONTHS of scouring teh INTERNETS, I have found an affordable, medium quality real jade pendant like Yumi's! I have double checked with Emi, and she thinks it's a perfect match!
Ba-da-da-daaaa!
Excuse the poor quality picture. I took it from the website. ^^;;
This is British Columbian Jade - real jade! It's medium quality meaning it's not the finest jade out there (it's nephrite, not jadeite) , but it's not faux jade. The pendant will come on a 18" sterling silver chain, meaning it's going to hit right about your collar bone (or there abouts). The pendant measures right at 1", so it's still pretty delicate looking while making a statement. Stones may vary in greenness as the iron content in the stone determines its color.
The shape (the intertwined loops, the infinity symbol if you turn the pendant horizontally) is said to be representative of two lives forever intertwined, never separated, paths always crossing. I wonder if Emi picked this shape for it's meaning? Does this allude to Miyabi and Yumi being together since Miyabi's mother had a similar jade necklace?
I thought now would be an appropriate time to introduce this since the necklace has made a reappearance in the manga and there seems to be a major event resting on it in this next page.
I don't know how many times I've said or I've seen people on the forums say they wished that they could have this necklace! Now you can! I'm too excited.
SO, if 10 people pre-order this necklace, I can get wholesale pricing. I can also get wholesale pricing on sterling chains if 10 people promise to order. In fact, the more people who order, the cheaper I get the goods, the lower your retail price. I've estimated that this piece will run about 25-35$, but no more than 35$ USD.
And remember, I send half of the profits directly over to emi, so you'll be helping to maintain the site, getting an extra page, and getting some bling. Everybody wins!
If you're interested, comment below! To pre-order, just e-mail me with your name and paypal. If you would like, I can work with you on paying. Maybe do something like split payments or lay-a-way, but your piece wouldn't be mailed until your balance is paid in full.
Miyabi wants you to go order it, like, now. (You'd better do what he says. You know his temper! ^^;;) :D
