Bruce Lee’s Jade Pendant Heart of the Dragon... Bruce Lee personally designed this extraordinary pendant from his own drawings to celebrate the completion of Enter the Dragon, his first American feature. It was made in Hong Kong in May 1973 (just two months before Bruce's death), and is believed to be the last item he ever commissioned. The pendant is made from green jade (jadeite) framed by two opposing Yin-Yang dragons, one in yellow gold and the other in white gold, and is supported by a hallmarked high quality gold chain. Elevated red and white cabochon coral complete the composition, which is also engraved with the Chinese characters, meaning Longevity (front) and Wealth (back). The opposing Yin-Yang dragons represent the foundational principles of Bruce Lee's Jeet Kune Do, and this pendant was as symbolic to Bruce as it was personal. This unique one-of-a-kind pendant beautifully represents the heart of Bruce Lee's revolutionary fighting system: the principles of which form the core of M.M.A. and much of the combat philosophy employed by Special Forces around the world. Ex Robert Lee
