The Rose of Sharon or
Mu-gung-hwa (무궁화 - pronounced: moo-goong-hwa) is the Korean national flower
and has been treasured by the Korean people since the Silla Dynasty which
was unofficially called Mu-gung-hwa Country. Koreans honor
the Mu-gung-hwa because it has the strength to survive even
when cut or transplanted and so represents the strength and resilience of
the Korean people. The pendant is carved from
green agate and
suspended from a twisted necklace of four strands of stones including agate, jasper and malachite
and includes a sterling silver clasp. Style N002
