Chinese Jewelry
The art of jewelry making in China goes back almost 5000 years ago. Consequent to the evolution of Chinese jewelry the artisans adopted designs with a religious background, which subsequently found use in Buddhist religious ceremonies.
The phoenix and the dragon were the earliest choices among motifs used in Chinese jewelry. You can see these two motifs in extensive use even today. The dragon represented the emperor, nature and the universe. The phoenix represented the empress.
Both men and women used large and complex earrings in silver, bronze and gold. When you talk of Chinese jewelry the most popular material you think of is jade. Jade with its inherent properties of hardness and beauty was supposed to safeguard and impart both grace and dignity to the wearer. Ming jade or nephrite was predominantly used in Chinese jewelry before the 17th century AD. Pearls were also very popular. In colors blue signified royalty and blue enamel work was quite popular during the Ming Dynasty period.
Chinese jewelry symbolizing wealth and nobility was worn by both the sexes and headbands and amulets were very much in vogue. These accompanied the rulers to their graves along with artifacts in jade.
Chinese jewelry is readily available online. Care is taken to ensure the authenticity of antique jewelry. Thus similar materials are selected and the same designs are copied from historic jewelry on jewelry articles that you buy. Today you can pick a set of Chinese earrings and necklaces from the Shou Dynasty. You can order a necklace in jade and pearls or a set of Chinese earrings with jade and carnelian with the Shou symbol carved. You can buy an attractive set of jade dragonhead and pearl earrings with golden hooks on a Tang dynasty jade necklace. Imperial jade earrings in sterling silver gilded with 22-carat gold are most attractive.
Today’s Chinese jewelry brings back the traditions of the use of the dragon motif, of jade and gold and the symbols of various ruling dynasties of China in the days gone by.

Regarding the relationship between ancient Chinese and Mayan/ancient Mexican culture?
Are there any books out there, or has any archaelogist or anthropologist considered a link in ancient Chinese culture and the ancient Meso-American culture? I refer not only to racial similarities, but also similar motifs: i.e., the use of jade/nephrite, serpent worship, composite mythological animals, serpent/dragon and winged bird/phoenix, lion and jaguar, step pyramids or ascendancies to deep roofed temples, etc. Also the similarity in bronze artifacts and the similarity of certain religious motifs, namely the anthropomorphic feline animal of prey often pictured head-on and in linear patterns. Has anyone considered a continuous landmass from China to the Americas?
Well unfortunately I cant provide you with sources (its been 15 years since i cracked an anthro book), but as for the continuous land mass thing.
Some Anthropologists believed that many of the cultural similarities brought over came across the land bridge during the Ice age when man migrated across from Asia.
However it is important to note allot of the ideas and concepts you mentioned can be found in various parts of the world generally around the same time (that was the basis for one "aliens came to earth" theory that I found rather humerus).
Look up Thor Heyerdahl, he had some theories on cultural expansion by sea faring people, he did a few expeditions on boats made from materials of the times, like balsa wood or papyrus reeds. You may find his Kon Tiki and this RA II voyages of special interest.
good luck
