Mystical, alluring Jaipur, Babun Dey's native city, is the inspiration for the Indian artisan's design of this fascinating sterling silver pendant necklace in which the metal's dark oxidized hues predominate. In a bezel setting in the center of the oval-shaped pendant, 5.5 carats of dazzling faceted green onyx is gracefully encircled by a dainty leafy vine, tiny silver balls, and arrow-shaped figures. A silver line weaving a serpentine pattern completes the pendant, which is suspended from an adjustable rolo chain and features a lobster claw clasp.

Hanzi are characters used in Chinese writing. As early as the sixth century A.D., many of these characters began to be simplified and adopted into Japanese writing, where they're known as kanji, a term that is more widely used in the West. Artisans in Yiwu, China, create these pendants by using sterling silver and the lost-wax casting method. Each character emulates the sweeping brushstrokes of traditional calligraphy. Choose based on birth month, favorite color, or simply the symbol that resonates with you most.
