These are beautifully carved pieces of real jade, well worth the price. Just be aware that the string it comes on is a very ugly brown color and not very long at all. I bought to give to my son and soon to be daughter-in-law before their wedding. I immediately removed them from the cord and replaced it with a very nice leather cord instead, the hole in the pendant is very small so it needs a jump ring made for pendants. I added some very nice beads to complement the amulets as well and they turned out very nice. Unless you have an unusually small head these will never fit.
