Swiss Watch Auction has been announced for Sunday December 4<sup>th<\/sup>, 2016.\u00a0 One of the important feature items is this superb 18K White Gold Burmese Jadeite \u201cHappy Buddha\u201d Necklace.\u00a0 Burma has long been the most important source for quality Jadeite (Jade).\u00a0 Burmese Jade is found in many color, from Orange, Lavender, Yellow, and even Colorless (know as Icy Jade).\u00a0 The most important, rare, and coveted color, however, is the Imperial Green Jade; an intensely rich green, bright, saturated color, coupled with high translucency, as shown in this necklace.\u00a0 Imperial Jade was traditionally reserved for royalty in Ancient Chinese culture, because it was extremely rare.\u00a0 But more importantly, Jade was believed to possess certain qualities revered in the orient.\u00a0 For example, when polished, it produces a very smooth surface, and it is cool to the touch.\u00a0 It is very pleasant to hold, and many collectors like to handle their Jade on a daily basis when carved into a talisman or a hand piece.\u00a0 In Chinese culture, only Jade has been referred to as the \u201cBridge to Heaven,\u201d again, a nod to the beauty and smoothness of the material.\u00a0 This and 200 other items go under the gavel at this auction.\u00a0 Join us on <strong>Sunday December 4<sup>th<\/sup>, 2016<\/strong> at 1pm, <strong>Sheraton Parkway Hotel, Highway 7 &amp;
