According to the Record of Rites, there are six kinds of ritual jades used in the rite of offering sacrifice to heaven and earth as well as deities, and one of them is huang as featured in this sterling silver necklace.

古帝王以玉做六器，以禮天地四方，包括「以蒼璧禮天，以黃琮禮地，以青圭禮東方，以赤璋禮南方，以白琥禮西方，以玄璜禮北方。」此銀項鍊即以璜形瑪瑙為飾，別具典雅的韻味。
