14k yellow gold and rose quartz Buddha pendant with a ruby in the hat. The stone Buddha is well-carved, with great detail in his features. He is smiling, lucky, happy Buddha. This Buddha is unusual because he wears a gold straw hat with a prong set ruby.
The Buddha is securely prong-set in a gold frame with a lovely filigree design on the back. The bottom of the Buddha is also framed in gold for added protection against loss and damage. The hat worn by this Buddha is called a "kasa, " made of rice straw.
