The Chinese eternity symbol, or pi, bears great spiritual significance for many jade connoisseurs.
The shape is simple: a convex or plump disk with a round hole in its center, representing the endless circle of life, longevity, ever-lasting life.
Ideally, the jade should be more than twice as wide as the hole. The opening might occasionally be filled with a diamond or other ornament. Jade eternity symbols are usually mounted as pendants or brooches. Smaller ones are matched for use in earrings and cufflinks.
The simple elegance of the disk-shaped Chinese eternity symbol, or pi, carries great spiritual significance for many people.
